Our lads were desperately disappointing in that game, though I'm sure they're better than that. It was a tactical mess - the all too familiar 'have the whole team milling about aimlessly around our own penalty box and punt up the occasional hopeful long ball (and by the way, don't bother putting any sort of pressure on the opposition when they're on the ball)' strategy that we've become so used to seeing from the first team. And I don't know if the occasion got to them but some of the individual mistakes were really amateurish, even at that age group. Things were all wrong right down to some of them repeatedly slipping and falling over because they had the wrong length of studs on, but nothing was done about it at half time.
Still, I agree that mistakes are there to be learned from so let's hope they all take something away from this.
