    Jesus don’t mention the training facilities. It will cause a meltdown. The fact is we borrow it while the year 11s are doing maths. Massive club though because we sell loads of tickets.

    I wouldn’t say they look technically better at all, tbh they are a typical youth team just spending most of the half passing the ball around the back 4. Very dull game low on quality.

    We look crap. Crankshaw is the only one looking a threat. Maybe some are a bit rusty but very poor from Gillied, Evans and Sutton so far, who should be doing better against kids. Foulds has put some good crosses in but seems isolated on the left.

    Thanks Simon, late in and took a while to find the game, so missed all the pre match stuff.

    It’s good to see our reserves getting game time. Odd we are playing without a man up front?
    You can see some of their players are tidy . Their disallowed goal was a mile offside. Only person who didn’t think so was lad who put it in. lol!

    What a shocking first half. Man Utd youngsters growing into the game. It's astounding that a player such as Evans, can be completely anonymous against far far more inexperienced players than himself.

    On a positive note, Crankshaw doing a good selling job to replace Gilly on the weekend.

    Tbh, no one looks like scoring, other than a tap in a mile offside.

    There are just little things touches and bits of skill that show their higher technical level. But yes they like a lot of u21 play too many safe passes because they are scared of getting stuck in. Almost anytime your player gets near them you bully them off the ball. It's the problem with the changes to the reserve league as they don't come up against this physicality in the u23's and those who have more experience in senior football who could play are either with the first team or are out on another loan

    Its pretty horrible watching the channel at half time. I don't know what it is, but why do all Man Utd fans, commentators etc come across as smug bast##ds? :)

    We'll put the big hitters on second half.

    I would be surprised at that Tallin. Gillead is asked to tuck in cannot see Crankshaw doing that job. Unless Adams changes his formation, tactics approach to the Crawley game.

    If that was the only football available I would take up sewing. Dire to watch and listening to the squeaky commentator. Hate it, hate it.

    More likely due to flogging players in double training sessions. Those that don't end up fitter, suffer from muscle strains.
