U21s: Blackburn vs United
- Thread starter top1whoisman
- Start date
You just know that the match will be called off due to bad weather or something
Nice to see that Blackburn have the resources to write previews and stuff. Not the great Manchester United though.
No Wheatley hmm. With 1st team?
Looks like Rowe at LB? Or McAllister there?

Or going on loan? Probably Rowe at LB.
Looks like we’ve signed or at least given a trial to Hubert Graczyk who was released by Arsenal in the summer.
I think @Gungerz mentioned this a few weeks ago.
Replacement in the 20 for Mount potentially.
I must have missed the official confirmation, presume Rowe is now doing the McShane/Huddlestone type role?
Yeah I don't think we've confirmed that yet. As far as I know both Rowe and Graczyk are on trial but I'm also wondering about their status as they are both named in the lineup.
How highly rated is Frediccson?
According to Ben Ibson it sounds like we’ve confirmed the Tommy Rowe signing.
Looking forward to seeing Igor Tyjon (#10) in action.

Jack Fletcher almost with another worldie from a distance. Keeper saves it for a corner.

Very good footwork from their no.9 but Mee does well to make a save at the near post.

Brilliant work from Malachi Sharpe down the right hand side to get a cross in, good finish from Ennis.
Sharpe did really well to get that across to Ennis.
Nice hunger from Ennis to get on the end of it as well.

Good run inside from Sam Mather. Showed nice composure with a few dummies but his effort is ultimately blocked.

Feels like he's started the season well. Are we talking about a potential first team prospect with him?
Same thing with Sharpe. Who knows, I don’t think either have the tools to become a first team player here but it’s also fair to say that they’ve had some injuries that have hampered their progress. Both still young and there are always some late bloomers in the game.

Another decent chance for Fletcher on his stronger foot after a nice backheel from Mather. The shot goes straight at the keeper.

Good grind from Ennis in the box, Ogunneye almost reaches the ball for an easy tap-in.

Sharpe hits the far post after good play from United. Mather providing the key pass to the box.
We’re playing really well at the moment. Probably not a reach to say this is one of the best U21 performances under Binnion so far.

Don't think I've seen the u-21s play this well last season. We are all over them.
Yea, I feel the same.

Almost a superb team goal. Some beautiful one-touch passing from United.

Only top-notch defending preventing Sharpe from making it 2-0.

Thanks for posting. And, I noticed it a few weeks ago I think but this young man has quite a hunchback. Doesn't seem to bother him too much though I guess.
Must be said Blackburn have been poor as well, but take nothing away from how good United have played.

Good save at the near post by Mee with his feet.

He has had a really poor game. I think he lost the ball 4 or 5 times in his own half - and the Blackburn-players waltz past him.
Enjoyable first half.
Mather was very good. Impressed by Fredricson. Good to see him back and playing well after so much time being out

Yeah it’s a good challenge for him after a superb season with the U18s.
