Bunns playing but no saurez, scapuzzi or rekik
The game was a bit of a non event really as we strolled to a 5 nil win with Stockport asking virtually no questions.Interesting to see how players fared though and how long Filipo Mancini would be kept on the pitch. Too long was the answer as he lasted about 65 minutes.
Francisco de Silva,a trialist ,looked quite good in the middle of the park. He has played a few games though and not overly impressed but although the opposition was very weak he showed some good signs.
Harry Bunn seems to be a little off his game at the moment. Roman does some very good things but I think a lot more not so good.Best goal came when a well timed overlap from Smith was found by Roman and the low cross turned in by Adam Drury.
The goal by Hiwula was quality as well getting onto a great long crossfield ball from Meppen Walter and finishing well

I heard we've actually signed Francisco Silva Junior, and has replaced Ahmad Benali (who is out on loan) in the NextGen series squad? and how is Courtney Meppen-Walter getting on? last I heard they werent to sure whether it was because he is physically bigger than anyone else or that he genuinly is a fantastic prospect?

According to Brian Marwood that Silva lad is still a triallist I (BM was 3 seats away and I asked him:) )
Courtney has a lot going for him as you say in his size but pace is not on that list.I wouldnt say he is a fantastic prospect but he is a prospect.Learning all the time of course and at the moment playing left back which imo isnt going to be his best position. Needs to work on supporting the attacking a little better.
He can get forward and make great crosses and he delievers a great crossfield pass but in general play he seems to get his positioning and angles wrong a lot of the time.

Fair enough about Silva Junior.
Do you think that he's more of a centre back or defensive midfielder? whenever I've seen him play he seems to get lucky, in the sense that when he is caught out of position the finally pass generally isnt good enough to expose his positional sense, but when I've seen him play well christ he isnt half a monster up and down the left flank, perhaps he just needs to get some consistency into his game?

i mean whats going on? is he still a city player?
he didnt play for eds last night and wasnt benched either. so some people thought maybe he would play for the seniors tonight. but also nothing! he is not allowed to play the nextgen-series because of age and so there is only the shitty manchester senior cup where he could play but he didnt either.
so he is waisting his time at city. thats a fakt!
