Second leg at Leigh on Wed 6 Nov at 19:00 GMT. So it won’t be televised either.

 

[Red Rash]

How did Lacey do?

 

[top1whoisman]

Strømsgodset 1-4 AZ, so as expected, we’ll most likely face AZ in the next round.

Looks like we played some very nice football!

Indeed it does. It will be a very different level of a challenge in the next round though.

Any other insights into the match, best performers, how was Chido Obi-Martin?

Sorry missed this.

Mantato played really well, very composed and always asking for the ball and knew the spaces he needed to be in. Also their full back and midfield really tried to get at him and he just kept his head up and cracked on.

Ibragimov and Thwaites both very lively. I think Ibragimov really has a fire about him but needs to keep a cooler head.

Obi-Martin didn’t have much to do - though it was my understanding it was his first proper football in a while and didn’t have much time to bed in with the team? He kept high and often tried to play on the shoulder. We seemed less aggressive and adventurous getting forward in the second half.

That was v Sunderland, didn’t see the Forest game.

PSV will be streaming the game on their YouTube channel.

Yeah I was waiting for a confirmation but I guess it’s 100% sure as they showed the earlier games too.

I know the home second leg for the U19's on Wednesday, against Zalgiris, won't be on MUTV. But I assumed the U18's home game v Everton on Saturday morning would be shown as usual (for home games) - but it's not yet listed on MUTV. Any news about that one?

According to Harry Robinson it is live on MUTV.

That's more positive. Hope so then. It's still not listed on MUTV Saturday schedule at this point, but a while yet for them to finally update that.

Yeah I noticed that too so I asked him. He said it will definitely be shown live.

Funny to see fans (on X) that miss Ibragimov, Lacey, Obi Martin and think that therefore it is a weak squad. This is a really strong squad. Is Ashton Missin a winger or a striker? 4 strikers seems a bit much.

Yeah that platform is pretty shit in quality for any subjects. The football discussion is the same.

Missin is a winger and Musa can play out wide too.

The way I see it - Musa is pretty limited in positioning. He is a decent target-player with a serious lack of goals in him. He is not quick enough or skilled enough on the ball to be a good winger.

That might be true, but he's played on both wings several times for us. Actually almost as often as he has as a striker. I'm not saying he's a good winger, just that he can definitely play on both flanks.
