Don’t think the non league clubs think that. It was basically their reserves and only a handful bothered to turn up!
Did hear a couple of “you reds” though.
Whoever thought it was a good idea to bring a drum needs to think again
Hence the caveats of the quotation marks around "competitive" and the in principle part.

Fantastic result for the U18s today, away at Blackburn who are notoriously very strong at academy level, an 8-0 win, after being 7-0 up after 35 minutes, with 15 year old Jaxon Tomak scoring the 8th.

Out of interest, does the first team change of system reflect throughout the academy?

A lot of under 16s in the squad and a lot of first year scholars as well! Really promising. Azae Bonnick started and scored as well.

I had a look at the stats on the Blackburn website. Forest 8 shots on target with 8 goals.
The B team definitely played 3 at the back the other night.

I’m just glad we got away with sitting back, shutting up shop and defending our slender seven-goal lead for the best part of an hour.

He picked Azae Bonnick as the youngster to watch at Forest - which many felt was a bit too much since he is no where close to the first team, unlike what the other club reporters did. I would have said Jair Cunha or Lamine Silah or maybe Grady McDonnell

Sillah heading to Gillingham on a season-long loan. Hoped he may go to a club a little higher up the pyramid but a good opportunity.

McNeilly heading out perhaps.

Under 17s beat Liverpool 5-2 in the Under 17 PL cup. Azae Bonnick hatrick.

Nick Mashiter sits atop his stolen throne with a wry smile on his face. Perhaps this Azae Bonnick might be worth a couple of runs out in the cup?

First Team Squad
Azae Bonnick probably. Even though it's way too soon.
As discussed when BBC put that article out, he's not even making the U21 squad yet let alone the first team.
