Lost 0-5.

Daggers used their U19 club for this so not a bit concern with that score.

Very low priority with all that is happening at the moment.

Was the FA Cup low priority too?

Shows how shallow the squad is.
Couldn't even put out a 50/50 team with squad players and sone youngsters.
U18's were always going to get a hiding if Oakley put out a decent tram.

decent team.

Relegation battle is far more important. Huge 6 pointer against Enfield on Saturday

Won't bat an eyelid being out of this competition but do think that instead of flogging the clearly incapable under 19s from a local school partnership, we could've given a few first-teamers minutes who needed it and just peppered in a few youngsters. Get Stephenson a goal or two, Khaleel some gametime, Lawless more under his belt etc. There were some amusing comments from enraged Oakley fans about how we'd cost them loads on the gate by announcing we were playing a youth side. Again, though, won't lose sleep from our end.
