[Decotron]

Morning all! Cocks out Petrucci is back!!!!! hes taken a stretch over the last 8 months

I take it thats Michael Keane and not his brother ?

 

[Decotron]

Ah ok, its William. We seem to be lining up in a 4-4-3.

Denis Irwins son Liam is playing for Bolton

 

[PS18]

Suspect Keane will play wide right and Ajose wide left.

 

[Virtuoso]

Davide Petrucci is captain today as well, must be great for him to be back starting after so long. Brilliant to have him back, one of the best prospects at our club and definitely one of the youngsters who I most enjoy watching - class act.

 

[Tumbling-Dice]

Don't have access to the TV at the moment, are there any links around ?

Don't have access to the TV at the moment, are there any links around ?

for me too please, if anyone finds one.

 

[Virtuoso]

John Cofie just missed a great chance, clear through one-on-one with the keeper but saved and out for a corner.

 

[Decotron]

No links for this im afraid

 

[datura]

1-0 Will Keane knocking it in after Cofie brought down by their keeper. Bolton seemed to want an offside decision.

 

[jb8521]

Goal for Keane after Cofie rounds the keeper and is taken down. Keeper could have been off if Keane hadnt been there to slot it in

 

[datura]

SAF is down there watching, alone with Meeulenstein and Rooney too.

 

[Maroon Lucifer]

No links for this im afraid

I am afraid you are right. I've checked everywhere

 

[Decotron]

1-0 half time

 

[Decotron]

morrison on for Cofie

 

[datura]

I've been impressed with Tunnicliffe first half, amongst the more high profile players he's been our most consistent performer at this level so far this season.

 

[datura]

Keane just missed an early chance after a great ball from Petrucci behind the full back releasing Ajose who crossed for Keane who slid in but mishit it.

The midfield is very fluid at the start of the 2nd half, very bright play from us. Petrucci seems to have moved to the right of the 3, Keane up top and Morrison roaming from the middle.

 

[Decotron]

2-0 Morrison 51 mins.

 

[datura]

2-0 Morrison pokes home after a excellent run from Keane beating 2 players and slipping it through when it looked like he may of overun it. Great challenge by Fryers to win the ball at the start of the move.

 

[lysglimt]

McGuiness must have a nightmare pondering which players to use in the FA Youth Cup if all of them are fit. We can field 7-8 midfielders of the highest quality.

 

[PS18]

That's a brilliant assist from Keane.

 

[PS18]

McGuiness must have a nightmare pondering which players to use in the FA Youth Cup if all of them are fit. We can field 7-8 midfielders of the highest quality.

Really good depth all the way up the spine of this side - two good young keepers, Thorpe/McGinty/Fornasier/Wootton at centre-half (even Reece Brown too), Pogba/Tunnicliffe/Hussain/Petrucci/Morrison/Cole centre-mid, King/Cofie/Keane/Petrucci/Ajose/Morrison/Lingard in attack.

 

[datura]

That's a brilliant assist from Keane.

He's such a natural footballer. He's been impressive all season and grown in stature.

 

[Decotron]

Stunner from Tunnicliffe, 3-0 65mins

 

[datura]

3-0 Tunnicliffe. Emphatic volley after great work from Ajose. Excellent 2nd half from us so far, best we've played at this level for a few games.

 

[Decotron]

Cole on for Petrucci 68mins

 

[datura]

Pogba's control let him down for once after a brillant move, the ball from Morrison with the outside of his right foot over the defender was brilliant.

Larnell Cole on for Petrucci.

 

[datura]

The Bolton keeper makes a great reaction save after a shot from Morrison through a few defenders after lay off from Keane in the box.

Irwin's son looks a tidy player.

 

[Decotron]

What age is Larnel Cole?

 

[Decotron]

4-0 Cole 75min

 

[datura]

4-0 Cole, brilliant through ball from Keane to Cole who showed great composure, slotting it home easily.

 

[datura]

What age is Larnel Cole?

I'm guessing 16?

 

[datura]

Bolton getting frustrated and some poor challenges coming in now. Up to the ref to keep it under control.

 

[jb8521]

I'm guessing 16?

You guess right

 

[Decotron]

McGinty is a fecking giant

 

[datura]

McGinty on for Ajose (who took a knock earlier). Fryers moves to left mid, McGinty left back.

 

[datura]

4-1, the comeback is on.

Scrappy goal from a corner, seemed to come off their forward's back at the near post. Typical Bolton!

 

[Decotron]

5-1 Pogba penalty, his first goal for United.

 

[datura]

5-1 Pogba pen after Fryers brought down. Eckersley sent off for the challenge, perhaps harshly.
