Match Thread Match Thread: (EFL Trophy) City vs Newcastle U21s

Gotta laugh at just missing the target all the time, then THAT lol

Worst goal ever.

Just hit the target with literally anything.

 

Gillesphey too prone to an error lately

 

Powell 2 - Newcastle U21 1

 

Has been since he joined, hence losing his place to Pratt

 

maybe GA has pulled a huge master stroke with Powell..... I would also try to get their goalscorer

 

O'Keefe has been a real bright spot tonight

 

Bobby has made a big difference to the team since coming on.

Swan did well in pre-season but he isn't a left sided forward.

 

No idea why we are risking Pennington. Anyway you see the step up as soon as Bobby and Powell come on, they’re walking through these.

 

Powell may only be able to play 30 minutes a week, but he is clearly the best player at Bradford City now

 

Poor Newcastle defending again, but Powell and Pointon already showing their class since replacing the 'cant be bothered' Swan and Humps tonight.

I wish we could get more minutes out of Powell by the way in the league.

 

These lot are dirty. Ref needs to get on top of this before someone is injured

 

Yes, couple of good interceptions. He's pressed well, passed well. All round decent.

 

That lad who keeps falling over and faking injuries will do well in the future in the Premier League with that kind of play

 

Sadly, on this showing - it’s taxi for Ibbitson. Looks like Bambi on ice. A bit like a raw McBurnie when he played for us, except I don’t think Harry will end up in the PL.

 

Wouldn't mind them scoring tbh so we can have a penalty shootout

 

Morgan did well in my opinion

 

Weird one that. Their lad got a red card even though Powell clearly had hold of his legs and kinda bent them. No wonder the young kid was annoyed

 

I really like O'Keeffe from what Ive seen so far. He reminds me a bit of Tony McMahon with his style of play, and seems to be a spiky character too.

 

Much better 2nd half and after the introduction of the subs.

The Toon lads didn't cover themselves with glory especially in that last 15 minutes. Frustration got the better of them and they could only offer thuggery.

 

Way too harsh. He connected well with Lapslie and put in a few crosses. Arguably did more than Philips did. What did Philips do?
