Nathaniel Chalobah added to his international experience tonight as England Under-21s continued their fine form with a 3-0 win over Romania at Wycombe Wanderers’ Adams Park.

The on-loan Watford midfielder was named in Stuart Pearce’s starting line-up and played for 74 minutes before he was replaced as the Young Lions stretched their unbeaten run to eight matches and 16 months since they last conceded a goal as well to keep them in fine shape heading into the European Championships.

Manchester United’s on-loan Crystal Palace starlet Wilfried Zaha set England on their way to victory, substitute Jack Robinson added the second on the hour before Nathan Delfouneso completed the win just before full-time.

I'll take it as read that you don't rate Yeates very highly.

To be fair he's actually improved this season but Abdi and Chalobah are a class above.

Its no coicidence that we have lost the last two games without Abdi playing either game and Chalobah only playing a half!

It is essential that those 2 start the next game-- no ifs no buts.

add Almunia, Hall, Hoban, Pudil
as Dyche would love to put on over us.

Got a good feeling about Good Friday, next 3 games critical. It will really shape weather we're going up automatically or if we take the lottery of the play offs.

Yes, Good Friday is big, we don't want the blip to turn into a slump.

The play offs aren't guaranteed yet either if things do go pear shaped.
