Forest 0-1 u21s - Report (website)

[William Henry Foulkes]

United's U21s are now ten games unbeaten in the Professional Development League, following Monday's victory over Nottingham Forest at Wilford Lane.

Harrison McGahey with his second in as many games got the game's decisive goal, reacting first after the home goalkeeper failed to deal with a Louis Reed free-kick from the right wing, after a foul on Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Bob Harris and Florent Cuvelier, in addition to Reed and Calvert-Lewin all completed 90 minutes as the Blades completed a league double over the Reds, who are competing with United for a top two finish.

And in the opinion of Coach Travis Binnion, who took the team alongside John Dungworth and Brian Deane, the win was fully deserved.

Binnion remarked: "We dominated from start to finish in difficult conditions and the players deserve all the credit.

"We never looked like conceding and that takes some doing against a Forest side that are always a threat in both the U18s and U21s.

"Louis Reed was excellent, whilst Dominic Calvert-Lewin led the line very well. Bob Harris and Flo Cuvelier both got full games under their belts too, so all in all everything went very well."

Blades: Ramsdale, Gordon, Harris, Reed, McGahey, Kelly, Cuvelier, Whiteman, Calvert-Lewin, De Girolamo (Hall 33), K. Smith (Gilmour 77).
Unused: Brooks, Perryman, Semple.

I'm not reading anything in to it, because if they can't get in the first team side ahead of world beaters like Chris Basham, Neill Collins, Connor Sammon, JCR and Dean Hammond then they can't be any good can they?

Reed is an excellent player.

Reed as being doing well for the under 21s and seems to have come through that blipp which all young players have woody.Played really well at done and has a great appetite to do well in the game long way to go but is enthusiasm is infectious.Fans tend to forget that he's still only 18 and still developing physically.Fans come on here saying if the young players are that good then play them in the 1st team but we know that developing players are rarely ready for the hurly burly of league football ,it's in the hands of coaches and Adkins to know when it's right and you can't push too many in together.experienced players like hammond (battle hardened) are vital when blooding young players,he doasnt hide from his responsibilities which a fair number of our present and past players have done.
