Carrington today, starts at 6.30pm.
Reports, team subs and scorers welcome in this thread.
 
Team was Woods, Strickland, Dudgeon, Wooton, Gill, James, Norwood, Petrucci, Brandao, Macheda, Stewart.

Subs unknown but there were quite a few.

Scorers were Brandao 2 and Petrucci

United were 3-0 up at half time.
 
Am I imagining it or has Brandao been out-scoring all our better known young strikers this summer?

I don't think so, Federico Macheda's scored more (pretty sure) and he was the top scorer at the Milk Cup with 6 goals in 5 games. Have to say, I really do not rate Brandao - can't see him ever making it for us or any top level side for that matter, time is still on his side though.
 
Macheda has 7 this pre-season (5 for the U17's in the Milk Cup, 2 for the reserves). Brandão has 6, King 4.

Brandão's not done bad considering he's generally been a sub. Can't say he's massively impressed me either (although I thought, one cock-up in the Chelsea box aside, he did well tonight) though, he's very very raw and lacks the required work ethic at the minute.
