[PS18]

Missed the first couple of minutes, is that Will or Michael Keane on the bench? Would hope the former as it'd be the most defensive bench ever otherwise...

 

[PS18]

Great header from Pogba to get us back level at 1-1.

 

[datura]

It's been very open so far, the conditions making it tricky for the defenders.

I think it was Will Keane on the bench btw.

 

[datura]

Great left footed strike hits the post from King. United starting to look dangerous after a relatively sloppy opening 15/20 mins.

 

[charleysurf]

Fergie's at the game.

 

[prateik]

where is petrucci .. injured again ?

 

[Elliott]

Any word on Tunnicliffe's ankle?

 

[datura]

It was 1-1 at Ht.

2nd half just kicked off, no changes for either side.

 

[datura]

I've not heard anything in commentary about either Petrucci or Tunnicliffe. Tunnicliffe just looked like a sprain but those can take a while to heal.

 

[datura]

Newcastle having the better of the chances so far this half.

 

[datura]

71mins - Keane for King, Brown for Fornasier.

 

[Girish II]

I think if we spread it about a bit we'd have more joy. The Newcastle lads are tending to crowd around the ball a lot leaving other areas to expose

 

[datura]

Keane chopped down when clean through, the Newcastle centre back somehow only gets a yellow. This is moments after Devlin made a great save when it looked like the Newcastle forward was just about to take it round him and score.

 

[Decotron]

They are pretty much all over us here. Ball isnt sticking up top for us. Pogba trying his best but seems to be marked by about 3 players everytime he has the ball!!!

edit wrote that about 15mins ago. United looking alot more dangerous now.

 

[Mitch Conor]

What the hell has gone wrong with the U18 side recently, the passing in the last few games has been shocking, and the amount of long balls played today has been shocking, especially given the conditions they are playing in. Haven't kept the ball on the deck enough today imo. Reece Brown since he has come on has just been lumping it up towards the strikers when ever he has got it - he is better than that.

 

[Decotron]

Keane made a big difference when he came on. Reckon he might get the jimmy murphy award this season

I would guess him and Tunnicliffe are the two outstanding candidates for the award.

The part where the ball crosses the dead-ball line between the goalposts and under the crossbar. You should really know that by now. Part 2.
