Moran and O’Mahony both do well for the first goal with O’Mahony initially winning the ball and then getting a nice flick for the assist.
Killian Cahill doesn’t have his best game, with the injury to Tiernan Brooks - he’s probably second choice after Keeley for our 21s campaign starting next month.
Off the bench, Cian Coleman involved for Leeds and Jamie Mullins for Brighton
We had 10 across the 5 PL2 games last night, 7 started, 2 got minutes from the bench.

Kone Doherty with a goal and assist for Liverpool 18s today he will be in the 21s this season at Liverpool. Was injured basically all last season after the world Cup, went to the 17s qualifiers in March without playing for Liverpool for months and was injured ahain and only came back in preseason. Had a super first season at Liverpool until his injuries

Still 17, playing and scoring EPL2. O'Mahony scored for Brighton tonight too, still 18. Counted eleven of our players getting minutes, most starting across the nine PL2 games earlier. Callum Kavanagh got the last fifteen for Middlesbrough & Coventry played 90 for West Ham, Emmanuel Adegboyega played 90 again for Norwich after his recent move over, among the more notable mentions.Quote:

Kavanagh seems to be one player who is particularly struggling to make the jump from development football to the senior game. His stats at Under 18 and PL2 are excellent, then he's only at three goals in 31 games down in League 2. Just shows again how difficult it can be to make that jump. I wouldn't mind seeing him going to the SPL for a season, it's less physical than League 2. A good loan to a St Johnstone or Livingston type of club could really help him kick on.
Ryan Cassidy signed for Tolka Rovers this week. Just over 12 months after leaving Watford.Quote:

Brighton U-21's currently in action in the EFL Trophy against Walsall and up 2-1 at half time. Both goals for Moran (O'Mahony also starting up front). Oisin McEntee got the Walsall goal (Maher and Tierney also starting).
Leigh Kavanagh, from Bray Wanderers, also started for Brighton and Cahill and Mullins were on the bench - Mullins came on as a sub.Quote:

Good finish.
There's a near identical chance a few seconds earlier in the highlights
Good to see Newcastle have been using Murphy as a LB so far this season in the PL2 games. With Roughan playing as a CB it might open a place in the U21s for Murphy if Roughan partners Lawal rather than Anselmo whose yet to play this season.
Who is Trent Kone Doherty?
https://www.thisisanfield.com/2023/0...pool-training/
Is there a slight possibility he'll be in the U21 squad to play Turkey and San Marino next week, given that he's overage for the U17s, and the U19s qualifying round isn't until November?
Mark O'Mahoney with two more for Brighton tonight, Mullins got one as well. Goals for Adegboyega, Kavanagh, Coleman too.
Can't see it being honest. Think he'll be doing well if he starts for the 19s never mind getting an U21s call up.Quote:

Fulham are streaming their PL2 game against Southampton on their website at the moment: https://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2023/s...y-Live-Stream/
Ollie O'Neil opened the scoring, currently 1-1
<EDIT>
Finished 5-1 to Fulham, with O'Neil grabbing a second on 88 minutes
Nathan Fraser scored Wolves' third in their win over Palace: https://www.wolves.co.uk/news/under-...rystal-palace/
Mark O'Mahony scored the only goal for Brighton against Forest. Leigh Kavanagh, Killian Cahill and Jamie Mullins all featured: https://www.brightonandhovealbion.co...ue-winning-run
Five Irish lads and one on the bench according to this (every Irish fans second team now) - looks like O’Mahony was heavily involved - Franco Umeh scored against us also (Fraser is a beast of a lad - can see him coming through sooner rather than later with our inability to hit a cow’s arse with a banjo!)…
- Cahill, Kavanagh, McConville, Mullins and O' Mahony and Ireland u19 left back Jacob Slater on the bench

https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleagu...righton/squad/
he's had an awful time with injuries for years. He was part of the u17 team with Sinclair Armstrong, Evan Ferguson, Andy Moran, Tayo Adaramola, Ollie O'Neill that were described by Paul Osam as the most talented group he'd ever worked with. They won their group and then covid cancelled the elite phase and tournament. He was picked alongside Anselmo at centre back, ahead of Lawal.Quote:

Jack Henry Frances returned from injury for Arsenal's U21 side against Manchester United yesterday, and scored the second goal in a 4-2 win for the Gunners.
Goal below at 1:20, takes a wicked deflection off a defender
Mark O’Mahoney was supposed to have scored a good equalizer against Heffernan’s Newcastle yesterday. Anyone have a link? Since Ferguson graduated, Brighton U21 coverage been poor!
Brighton are pretty good about putting highlights of their U21 games on YouTube, might take a day or so
