Unwin I presume is the name of the trialist

If Unwin scored, I'd imagine the commentary for the goal went summat like:

Absloutely smashing flaked he was.
So gathering all behind in the hintermost, he ploddy ploddy forward
into the deep fundemold of the complicading forry to sort this one out matey.
Where at Man he thoucus, where at Man...... oh dear.

Scarborough being promoted is good for us, local side playing at a good level for potential loan deals next season. Hopefully Gateshead trust us too after Matty’s successful loan. Add that to the likes of Scunny and Grimsby and we are looking healthy.

That's brilliant!
 
I’ve really enjoyed reading this thread right throughout the season, so thanks for starting it and for all the content you’ve put into it John, I’m looking forward to you starting a similar thread next season.

Thanks for that, I've always taken an interest in the juniors, right back to the BP days, and go to as many u23's games etc as I can. Obviously living overseas now, I don't get to go, but still, follow it with keen interest.

I took this picture one evening as I was standing close to Mike Phelan, really nice guy and got chatting with him. Just one thing really sticks in my mind, this was 2016 November, and he said just watch that boy Jarrod Bowen, he has the attributes to go all the way.

Wonder what might have happened under Phelan if he had been properly supported by the Allams rather than utterly shat on? Experience, contacts, respect within the game, and as you say, nice bloke. Unfortunately we'll never know

He certainly knew his football, I think coaching wise, he was very good, maybe the management side was not his forte?

I’d love us to introduce a streaming service for the 23s games. A lot of other clubs have it and there’s a decent contingent of City fans who used to go to every game at Hull Uni pre-covid who’d use it.

I cant go anymore but find it a shame not many people go when it’s available right in front of them usually after first team games.
