1-0 City Lafferty

 

JM pounced

2-0 Lafferty.
Zagreb haven't really threatened.
Pouring with rain now!!

 

Incredible solo goal fun Josh!!!

 

JM draws a penalty and dinks it over the keeper!!

 

Sounds like it's a cracking performance!

 

You should be here - free tickets!!
Middleton replaces Jarvis.

 

Oh really!? Is that always the case in this comp?

 

Yes, tickets have always been free.
Great run and goal from Middleton - a player to watch!!!

 

Heard a lot about him. A Left Winger isn't he?

 

Just stunning!

What a man. So sad how he was treated.

 

Cantwell replaces Murphy.

 

Generally yes and plays for Scotland under 18s. Zagreb players resorted to fouling him to stop him. For a lad who was 17 on Jan 1st, he looks incredibly strong.

 

He'll be released at the end of his contract then...

 

I'd be surprised if the 'vultures' aren't circling before then!!!!

Edit - I see Portsmouth under 23s have beaten Everton under 23s, so I believe we top our group and so progress to the next stage of that competition as well.
PS - I don't know if it's been mentioned elsewhere but the Foxes thrash Loserpool 3-1 to finish any slim hope they had of chasing Chelsea for the title. They have lost 5 games out of their last 7 and Klopp must be feeling the heat I should think!!!!

 

I am starring to believe that we have an incredibly talented bunch of youngsters at Colney. What they have achieved/ are achieving makes our seniors tribulations unbelievable. Cantwell, Middleton, Effete, Maddison, Killip.. Will they be allowed to go forward to higher things with us? I would love to see at least two of them included in our run in. Probably in vain.

 

I (and several others) totally agree with you and certainly based on their endeavours last night (in some appalling weather for about 15 minutes), they deserve to be given a chance. I would say that NOT one of them last night had a bad game and I'll definitely be getting a ticket for their remaining matches.
