Since when has 17 been either fully mature or fully developed?

Really good from Shoretire and McNeil. 3-1.
Expert on physiology I see
McNeil makes it 3-1 after a nice pass by Shoretire.
3-1 Mcneill. First time all match he has had any decent service. Dont write him off he knows where the net is.
Hannibal stand out by a country mile.
Some of these lads really look out of their depth

Lovely football again.. Mellor needed to continue that run.. Could have had the second goal.. Hannibal is fantastic
Wow, Sam Mather's making his debut against Lincoln! I'm looking forward to watching him play. Zidane Iqbal's also coming on. Hoogewerf and Mellor are off.
Is Mather quite highly rated?
Lovely from Shoretire. Not sure about giving it the full Ronaldinho no-look pass at 0-3 but I suppose it got the job done
Playing so much better.. 3-2. now
3-2 Hardley. Surely we can't turn this around...
We scored from a set piece
I'm really liking the composure from the team in their attacks in the last 20 or so minutes. Instead of rushing the ball forward and forcing things, they've moved the ball around quite well and at a fairly decent tempo.
Mejbri sent off now.
He never learns
Dumb by Hannibal.. Got frustrated with 2 quick yellow cards
I can't say as I haven't seen too much of him, but others rate him. How high, I can't say.
Second yellow was just eagerness to win the ball.
And he was lucky not to get the second yellow 20 seconds earlier.....
Lost the first hour 3-0. Won the final half-an-hour 2-0. A game of three thirds.
Must suck for Hannibal. Foul after foul not given, yellows not given for things he later gets a yellow for.
Still, he has to learn to control his temper because the referees will continue to be shit throughout his career.

Great fight back.. Hannibal inspite of the red card was fantastic.. Final score 3-2
Shoretire, McNeil picked up in the last 30 minutes

Won't break into the first team until he sorts out his temperament, it's ruining a brilliant prospect fulfilling his potential.
Good learning curve for the young lads and it was a good game to watch and a good test for us.
Hannibal was brilliant, got sent off but shit happens. He'll learn like Ronaldo and RVP did at SCP and Feyenoord who had similar problems.

The problem is - he starts with his dissent after 2 fouls in the 22nd minute (and they were harmless) - there was one match last season where the opponent targeted him, they didn't today. But the reaction is still the same...fingers waving in the air, pointing at the referee, retaliation....it's ridiculous!
I know he's beloved on here but Fernandez is a very poor defender. Maybe better suited to wing back or winger
I only caught the last half hour. Safe to say I saw our best period, though!
Mejbri was brilliant. It's a shame refs allow him to be manhandled every game. I'm looking forward to seeing him play with Iqbal this year.

I'd much rather a young lad be like that than too placid.
You can calm them down but you can't fire them up.
not secure enough in possession for my liking, not just today. He's frequently loose with the ball.
Shame Hannibal got sent off, we were looking really good in the last few minutes. Part of his game he has to work on, gets frustrated easily.. has to learn from a player like Grealish and channel his frustration into his on pitch performance.
Only watched the last 25 minutes but we looked really composed going forward, Shoretire and Hannibal looked a class above as usual.

True but it shows he isn't learning, didn't Wood have to have a word with him at HT/FT of an u23s game last season about it?
Mejbri was brilliant and those 2 yellow card don't change anything. Second yellow was not even that bad considering we wanted to win the ball.
If this was football manager we could be inviting Rashford in for a chat to see if he wants to mentor him, of course Hannibal might say feck off and we all know that tanks the morale.
Yeah think he did.
The fiery types, it usually takes a few years to calm down.
But I quite like it. I get a bit frustrated at seeing overly coached, emotionless, young players.
If Rooney can eventually calm down, anyone can
Tell that to Mark Hughes, but it is harder, not impossible.
The second yellow wasn't so bad - but he should have got the second yellow 20 seconds earlier for retaliation. And of course it changes something that he is sent off yet again. This was not an isolated incident - after Neil Ryan said they had worked hard on his mentality - he has been sent off twice in as many matches.
As long as this happens - he can't be trusted to play first-team football where the stakes are much higher no matter how good he is. The opposition can simply put in a couple of hard tackles on him and they know chances are he will implode and be sent off.
I don't think he needed anyone to fire him up once he crossed the white line.
This! It won’t be the first time a talent such as his will be blighted by temperament issues.
I know he’s compared to Grealish a lot but he could worse than take a leaf out of his book and watch his reaction to challenges
