Lost but we didn't have a few of our big hitters playing after they were involved for the 21s last night. Ogusunyi started though and scored 2.
Thought they would need a few of the younger lads. The 21s side v Norwich had a few 18s in there so I expected a knock on, vood that Trey got a couple though. Cheers
Playing Man U at home on Saturday another test for our Young Guns, takes me back to a game a few years back when I was in 24,000 who watched this fixture at Roker Park . I wont mention the score but it was close.
Reserve game? Do you remember what year? I'm sure I went to a game like this but may also be completely making it up.
Apparently the U/21`s are playing Boston Utd next week (7.30pm @ Boston). As it`s only 15 minutes away from home I`m going to go along...any other brave souls venturing out - would be nice to put faces to names and even to share a pint or two...
Sorry cant remember the year , but it was the semi final of the FA Youth Cup and Nobby stiles and Johnny Giles were in the United line up, and we had the first batch of Alan Browns fabled youth team products headed by Mcpheat and Sharkey, late 50's to early 60's at a guess.
Oh FFS well before my time. Maybe I was thinking of an England B game when Marco played with Neal Webb.
We won the FA youth cup 3 times in four years , the stand out being 1969 when we lost at West Brom 3-0 but beat them 6-0 at Roker Park in the second leg in the words of Max Boyce I WAS THERE!
Ba and Aouchiche start for the 21s https://x.com/AcademyOfLight/status/1852666994874544317?t=boPTxv5b8_d4rvxhJ_pjJA&s=19

Those 2 are ****ing miles away from getting on the pitch in a 1st team game. Will be gone in Jan, no doubt on loan.
