Academy v West Bromwich Albion

Can't find any info anywhere, looks like we'll have to wait for the highlights tomorrow or the official site getting a report up.
 
James, Norwood and Macheda the scorers for us according to a comment on my blog, still no further info. Don't know if MUTV have shown highlights yet, been distracted by the F1 this evening...
 
Apparently him and Brady set up Macheda's goal.
 
How is Brady doing? What player would guys say he plays most like? Or what type of player is he?
 
Woods
Brown, Strickland, Wooton, Dudgeon (Gill)
Morrison, James, Norwood, Petrucci, Brady (Stewart)
Macheda (Ajose)

Unused: Chapman and Curran.

Just watching the highlights now, three really good goals. Macheda's a typically cool finish after Brady battled well for possession and Petrucci managed to toe-poke it into Kiko's path - curled into the bottom corner, no chance for the keeper.

The second came after some great passing in midfield, it was worked to Brady on the left who played Dudgeon in on the overlap - his low cross was excellently steered in left-footed, on the volley, by Matty James.

Norwood's came after some great passing between Brady, Petrucci and Morrison but the finish was all his, curled into the top right corner from 25 yards out - Beckham-like one might say.

WBA's first saw Wootton get skinned in the left-back slot, low cross came in which their forward sliced comically but it fell to their left winger to drill across Woods and into the far corner to give them the lead. Their second came quite late on from a well-worked counter, their sub striker was played in with a nice through ball behind Strickland and he put it low across Woods into the bottom corner.

Gary Woods had to make a fantastic save at the death as West Brom piled the pressure on to try and get a point.
 
Gill for Dudgeon, Stewart for Brady, Ajose for Macheda - no idea about the times though, was midway through the second half but they put the graphic up for all three at the same time. By the looks of the match report on manutd.com they don't even appeared to have bothered sending anyone to cover it - no lineup, sub times, goal times...

Been trying to work out who this Chapman is, no luck yet. He's definitely a keeper as he had the yellow socks on...
 
I'm beginning to doubt myself now - bit of googling turns up an Adam Chapman in Sheffield United's academy, he's a defender but he looks very similar to the kid who was on the bench (bar the hairstyle). Was sure I saw yellow socks on the kid on the bench, will have to watch them again tomorrow morning and check.
