Urd?

I know "Yernited" is sometimes tagged onto our club, but still...

Utd, not Urd! :lol:

Plenty of parking on the streets around and opposite the ground and if you cant find anywhere stick it in the car park of the big tesco up the road. I don't drive so I just get the tram to Alty and walk 10mins down to the ground.
 
Shouldn't be as easy as it sounds on paper - in their last league-match (beat Everton 2-1 away) - they had Nicholls in goals - England U-20 keeper. Adrian Lopez in defense, experience from La Liga - in midfield they had Hendry Thomas, Jordi Lopez and Shaun Maloney - and Connor Sammon in attack

Not a great side - but not a bad one either.
 
Stream on my homepage.

Should be working at 7pm too.
 
Reserve team v Wigan: Amos, R.Silva, Vermijl, Gibson, M. Keane, Fryers, Pogba, Petrucci, W.Keane, Morrison, Lingard.
 
Very, very strong lineup.
 
Rafael :D
Gibbo :D :D
this will be worth staying up for
Gibbo is going to play himself back into the first team and earn a new contract. FACT
 
Strange line-up, seems to be too many midfielders and not enough strikers for the reserves usual 4-4-2?

Must be something like this:

-------------------Amos---------------
---Rafael----Vermijl---Keane---Fryers---
------------------Gibson---------------
-----------Pogba---------Petrucci-----
---Lingard--------Keane-------Morrison-
 
Get in!. Forgot about this tonight.

That is a seriously exciting reserve team with Pogba, Morrison, Keane, Lingard and Petrucci.

My guess would be Rafael on the right and Vermijl on the left

Lingard to the left, Gibson and Petrucci centrally, Pogba to the right and Morrison in the hole behind W.Keane

That seems unlikely with Fryers in the team. Unless Rafael is playing right midfield in front of Vermijl, with Gibson dropping to CB alongside Keane and then Pog and Petrucci being the central midfield pair.
 
Fryers played his first match at U18-level as a central defender - and as I understand it - he was central at U16-level.

He is a much more natural selection than Rafael or Vermijl who are both a lot offensively than defensively

Plus he played at CB v Leeds, and has been playing there regularly for the reserves.

If Joyce does go for a 4-4-2 I'd imagine Pogba will be right, Lingard left and Morrison behind Keane.
 
The front five of Pogba, Petrucci, Lingard, Keane, Morrison is absolutely :drool:
 
Nice to see the "muppet trio" of Morrison, Pogba and Petrucci playing together
 
Rafael's done brilliantly there to keep that in and get the cross into the area. Shame his hard work wasn't rewarded.
