Having seen our under-21 side twice battle back to claim a draw against Swindon Town, Mehmet Ali admitted he loves seeing his side compete in the EFL Trophy.
Despite playing against a League Two side boasting numerous first-team players, our youngsters showed plenty of heart to recover from going a goal down when Reuell Walters put through his own net by equalising through Lino Sousa.
Then after Tariq Uwakwe put the Robins back in front, a late Jimi Gower goal handed us a point, with another coming by virtue of winning the subsequent penalty shootout.
And Mehmet was thrilled to see his team go toe-to-toe with their older opponents, show plenty of resilience and experience the pressures of competitive action.
