Sill losing 1-3, very poor performance from the team. 84 mins gone.

Mackems outmuscled them, bit like Villa in the week.

I always make allowances for the age of the team but sometimes you just wish some players could realise how quickly the years disappear. Once academy level is reached a couple of poor (or lazy) seasons and they can fall down the leagues dramatically.

City brought that on themselves to a large extent, no Gray, Harrison, or Heskey in midfield. You could see difference when Gray came on breaking up play, and playing forward. If only Harrison and Heskey were ahead of him.

Looks like the U18 league heading to Trafford this year 9 points ahead and unbeaten

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Tyrone Samba on the bench, does anyone know anything about him?

Tyrone Samba?

Sounds like an irish dance, possibly a Brazilian follow up to Riverdance

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

I’m pretty sure we have a Floyd Samba in the U-15 England squad

They have had a penalty in every match except one so far. That's eight in nine games. To date we have had a grand total of zero.

 

[It could have been 10]

Possibly the reason Harrison & Heskey weren't involved & Gray didn't start is City are involved in the FA Youth Cup, I think on Tuesday.
