U18s: Stoke vs United

What a start from Musa, great ball to Scanlon whose shot is well saved by the keeper. Him and the whole Stoke defense have been so good today.
 
I like Byrne-Hughes but he seems a bit eccentric. Not always a bad thing of course. He’s very brave and composed with his short passing.
 
I see this as a more valuable win (if there is such a thing) than the 5-0, 6-0 games. Not being at your best, struggling to break the opposition down and sealing it late is a good experience.
 
Shows how good this team is - without even being good we are 3-0 up
 
This is the first match Plunkett really has shown why we signed him - one of our best players today
 
FT

0-3 (Obi, Scanlon, Plunkett)

A decent second half and an important win to keep the gap to Derby and Man City who both seem to be picking up three points as well.

Thought Fletcher, Munro and Plunkett were decent.
 
I only really saw the second half - first half took place when all kinds of things happened at once (including my Christmas tree arriving! :drool:)

First half doesn't sound great. But thought it was a good second half performance. Looked in control, and the Stoke keeper pulled off plenty of saves, including some stunners. So could have been more than the three goals in the end.
 
Probably needed an early goal to get Stoke out of their shell. Good 3 points, Dante Plunkett and Munro probably the best players for me.
 
Stoke's impression of anti football,happy for the goalkeeper to be 20 yards out of his area without even a thought of pressing him.
A really frustrating watch if you were hoping to see good football but we eventually wore them down.
Plunkett looks really good on the right.
 
1st half looked even, but the second was a domination.

10 wins out of 10 now and the stats are ridiculous. Even with Biancheri and Amass playing for the U21s and Lacey injured, this team is great.
