11:00 am, Saturday 19 September at Aon Training Complex.Live on MUTV.

Should be a winnable match and looking forward to another compulsory Gribbin's goal from free-kick...

Gomes might get another start depending on other's injury situation.

No Gomes.He's playing in the U16s Premier League tournament qualifier.

Kehinde out injured but we got Dearnley back.

Line-up: Byrne - Warren,Williams,Dunne,Reid - Scott,Whelan - Dearnley,Gribbin,Kenyon - Rashford

Subs: Diedrick-Roberts,Dorrington,Boonen,Sang
 
Phuck. Was really looking forward to seeing Kehinde again. Oh well, hopefully Boonen gets some game-time.
 
Ennis is the United fan linked with us, right?
 
15 minutes gone and it's easy to see why Wolves are on a single point after 5 games. Very underwhelming.
 
Im listening to the commentators talk about attacking dominance but most of the play is in our half (us in possession) or around the half way line. Nor sure what you are watching but dont let the commentators fool you. Its awful football.

:rolleyes:

We've played some very direct stuff, especially the first 15.

you another sycophant being sucked in by the commentary??? Just listening to the half time commentary and its staggeringly biased. If you like seeing youth players spend most of the time passing sideways or backwards then good on you. How many shots on target from all that possession?? sweet feck all.

The f*ck are you on about?
 
Great half.Could have been about 4-0 on another day.Best game I've seen so far this season from the 18s.This Wolves side is really underwhelming though.

Many good performers but Gribbin has been the pick of the bunch.

Well considering we've scored two and hit the woodwork(twice, I think) that's a stupid thing to say.

1 goal off from a set piece. 2 chances from corners (more set pieces), hit the woodwork from a set piece. Sweet feck all from open play but the worst bit is the aimless use of possession in our own half. Sweet feck all forward play. Its awful. No wonder City are doing so well at this level, they dont play back and sideways every chance they get.

After the first 15 minutes of all United Wolves came back into the game so it's normal to keep possession and calm the game down.

Strangest thing to say.If you have watched City at these levels their game is mostly about keeping possession (sometimes pointless) especially their EDS side.

Then there's the goal-line clearance and another couple of saves by their keeper.

You are being a bit harsh on Wolves now :) They do actually have 3 Points - they beat Newcastle. But in fairness, they have NOT had the easiest of starts - their 4 defeats have been against City, Everton, Sunderland and Boro (who are 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th in the table)

Hey if you guys are happy watching Utd youth make more passes in their own half then good on you.

If we have 10 shots on target in 45 minutes whereas the opponent has next to none - I really don't care what we do with the ball the remaining time.
 
3-0 Kenyon, after yet another quick, direct attack.
