2-0 up at the moment, with half hour gone

Mullen with the second. No idea who got the first, or of the line ups. Smith's playing though
 
First goal was by Barnes.

Line-up:

Heaton,
Lee, Chester, Lea, S.Evans,
Mullan, Eagles, N'Galula, Barnes,
Smith, Dong.
 
Is Dong available for the first team now?

With the led we have in the prem he should get a run out
 
The game ended 3-0 for United, Chris Eagles scoring the third goal.Alan Smith played really well upfront and Barnes was good on the wing. Floribert Ngalula was great in midfield but for me the man of the match was James Chester at center-back he was great winning all the headers and making alot of important tackles.

How good did ngalula look? first team material/fringes? Is smith ready to take over larson? is he sharp enough now and the smith of old?
 
Sean Evans should be one of the most versatile reserves we've had. I think he used to play on left wing and up front. Now full back?
 
James Chester had a great game.
He looked so self assured.

Chris Eagles played another good game.
Smithy looked better.
Kieran Lee Looked really solid.I like this lad...I can see him going far.

Wasn't it cold at Ewen Fields tonight?....
....Jesus wept. :eek:

Thank you work, keeping me from getting home till around 9.30 tonight. Other wise I'd have been frozen again.... I've missed the last couple of games now through work, it's not on......

Most of our players are played in different positions, helps all round game and understanding of what their team mates are doing


Barnes played left back last week

You're going to have to put your foot down with a firm hand and demand to be frozen to death at "Ice Station Zebra".........

I heard Bower saying on MUTV that this is only Chester's second appearance for the reserves. Seems like we're producing a lot of good young CBs in our academy...Evans, Cathcart, and now Chester as well.
 
I swear Ewen Fields has it's own microclimate. it's like a siberian outpost at times. not good when you forget your gloves :(

pretty much echo what everyone else has said - Kieran Lee was outstanding, James Chester looked completely at home and won absolutely everything aerially, Flo played better than I've seen him in a long time, Eagles continued his fine recent form and Smithy looked pretty good (and gave the ref a torrid evening!). three really well-taken goals as well, Eagles' in particular was a great strike.

only disappointment for me was Dong really. bar one really nice touch for Mullan's goal he never really got it into the game and made far too many basic mistakes. still early days for him over here though of course.

and my routine question: who were the unused subs?:cool:
 
the unused subs were Lee Crockett, Richard Eckersley and Tom Cleverley.

Dong's got some nice size about him doesn't he? About 190cm isn't he?

his physique's certainly not a problem. needs to get used to the pace of the game though, far too often he's caught on his heels and a defender nips in ahead of him.
 
Dong needs time to adapt to English football, just as he did in his early Antwerp days.
 
Our resident RAFC reporter, I recall, has described Dong as not frequently involve in the games he play but will however always pop up to score goals.
