0-1 Header from Gill from a corner, looked like Brandy might have got the last touch (he tried to anyway).
Very lively game, Moffat nearly miskicked into his own net, then Featherstone flashed a volley across the box to threaten for Hull after our goal, then Stewart flashed a strike narrowly wide of the post from just outside the area.
Brandy tries a pass to Obertron on the counter but Obertron doesn't realise, good break wasted.
I thought he played it behind him a bit when he should have looked to play it in front.
2-0 Obertan!
Übertron scores after Possebon finds him on the counter, runs down the right and finishes coolly.
0-2 Obertan slots home on the break after Possebon robs their midfield, drives on and released him. Tidy finish between the keepers legs for his first reserve goal.
You know summer is coming when Reserves games are no longer shown in the dark and your exams are around the corner. 
Sunset in Manchester looks gorgeous.
Sunset in Manchester looks gorgeous.Stewart tricks the defender with some neat footwork on the edge of the box, nearly tricking himself too, before sending in a low cross into the 6-yard box which Possebon should really have put his laces through but instead tamely shoots at the goalkeeper.
Good goal, hopefully he is finally getting his game together
Our pace is frightening them to death. Obertan should have released Brandy just earlier. Pitch a little bobbly.
Tricky cross from the left from Hull but the striker was at too narrow an angle to shoot and Foster had it covered.
Cross-field ball finds Brandy who feeds Possebon who once again shoots softly and at the keeper.

I wonder how long it will take Hull to work out that they should defend a little deeper to prevent the diagonal passes behind their defence?
3-0 De Laet
Hull centre-back basically passes straight to Possebon (or was that Evans?) right outside the penalty box and we "Arsenal" our way out of a chance by taking too many passes.
Brandy then causes all sorts of problems down the left after another diagonal ball, but the keeper saves. In the ensuing chaos we win a corner and Ctrl-Alt-DeLaet scores.
Dreadful defending all round, De Laet got in in front of everyone and with a rather contorted volley scores at the near post.

Hull's right-back has been terrible and his clearance deflects off one of our own players and into Possebon who can't quite fashion a chance with Obertan. Eventually comes to a cross on the right which the goalkeeper collects.
Hull playing 4-5-1 with only the opposition striker in our half now.

This should be about 5-1 by now. Hull are one of the poorest sides defensively that we've played this season.
Evans rampages down the right and exchanges a one-two with Obertan (neat second pass) but shoots straight and low at the goalkeeper.
Hull can't get the ball.

Hull win the ball, then lose it. Win the ball, then lose it. Win the ball, hump it forward, offside.
Brandy does a brilliant turn of pace and feint but snatches a shot weakly wide.
Just prior to that Obertan passed the ball beyond a defender and ran past him to collect it (forgot what that trick is called).
De Laet rampages forward from defence with freaky pace and finds Stewart, who tries a cross-cum-shot which flies beyond the goal and out of play for a goal kick.

Brandy turns and burns his marker for speed, but the defender recovers with a good tackle. Brandy goes down but the referee gives a goal kick.
Some tricks by Obertan and several shots interwined with some dreadful attempts to clear by Hull, but no goal.
Hull number 8 hits a vicious one which goes off a defender and just over the bar, corner.

We've been fairly quiet for the past few minutes. Hull waste a corner then get harassed back into their own half, and are forced to put it out for a throw which Dudgeon takes.
Brutal pressing.

HT: Manchester United Reserves 3-0 Hull City Reserves
Very meh half from Hull, we should be slightly aggrieved we didn't score more.

It looks like the lowest crowd at Moss Lane for sometime which is disappointing.
Obertan 
Hull out of the starting blocks like a rocket but can't quite get a shot off. Then Stewart counters with frightening pace and puts in a good cross which Obertan tries to finish with an overhead kick - it goes out for six.
Lively start this.

is fabio still out then?
Looks that way.
Missed the first goal but I haven't even seen him in the crowd since then.
I've not heard him mentioned.
Dudgeon lets the ball bounce out of play... Once, twice, then falls over.
Not sure what that was about.

3-1
Hull finally string together a good set of passes and carve us up, I think Gill slides in to win the ball but they score from the rebound.
Hopefully this fires us up, we haven't got started this half yet.

Brandy finds space out wide and puts in a decent cross; the defender takes a poor first touch and Possebon races in but the shot goes off the defender into the air and falls kindly for the rest of Hull's back four.
4-1 Evans
Great goal.
