FA Youth Cup tonight

[Norwood's 6 iron]

View attachment 177372

Cummings joined from Man City.

Took some time to get going but enjoyed running at some tired opposition players second half.

Didn't he pick up a bad injury last season, think this was one of his first games back.
I know this u18 level, but thought he stood out as a player to watch for the future.

Some quick impressions, and a similar United player


Ryan Andrews - left footed gk. Simon Tracey

Jack Waldron - RWB. Captain. Short, but stocky, strong and aggressive. He's got a good leap and is sometimes used as an outlet for a diagonal high ball. George Baldock/Craig Alcock.

Jayden Prunty - RCB. Only played first half. Athletic lad, but liked to get involved in attacks as well. Jack O'Connell.

Dovydas Sasnauskas - CB. Elegant lanky sweeper. Leigh Bromby.

Zain Tahir - LCB. Tidy left footed centre back. Did well. Anel Ahmedhodzic/Martin Cranie.

Frankie Jones - LWB. Energetic left back. Faced a good opponent in Wimbledon's RW. Chris Armstrong

Sam Aston - RCM, then CM. Another very tidy midfielder in the mould of Sydie Peck, Owen Hargreaves and Charlie Staniland. Looked good at everything and my MoM. Lee Williamson

Jaye Long - CM. Had to come off early, bit hard to assess. John Ebbrell.

Billy Blacker - LCM. Think he's been playing as a forward, but brilliant on occasions in midfield. Loves dribbling (bit like Louie Marsh) and was able to keep the ball in 'impossible' situations. But also ran in to trouble a few times. Scored the winner. Michael Tonge

Jevan Beattie - ST. Tall striker. Struggled tonight, but showed enthusiasm and didn't hide. Joe Ironside.

Ryan One - ST. Not his best game either. So big and strong that defenders get away with a lot of dirty stuff against him. He may need to learn when to go down to win a free kick, and when to smash his opponent (fairly) to prevent them from wrestling/clinging on to him on every occasion. Christian Nade.

----

Ethan Cummings - RCM. Came on in the first half and had a few mazy runs second half. Iliman Ndiaye.

Seth Okyere - RCB. Second half sub. A real athlete. Acrobatically set up the winner. Auston Trusty.


Well done to Wimbledon who had a number of good players as well. It was a pretty even game for quite a while.

 

[EddieColquhoun]

Thanks, yes he was very skillful in possession, pacey and always looked like he wanted the ball. One to keep an eye on from what I saw tonight.

Ignore me pal. I read the team sheet wrong.

 

[EddieColquhoun]

14 was Cummings who we picked up from Man City. Blaize was 15.

Thanks pal.

Didn’t play like he’d been out injured. Crunching slide tackle near the end got a big roar from the stand.

 

[BlairBlade]

The Wimbledon goalie was pretty good.

 

[SUFCinks]

Billy blacker the no.10 had some great feet and technical ability in some tight areas. He looks good. Last 20 he wasn’t quite as effective as he was tired but he seemed to hold and retain the ball the best of all the forward players.

Just looked on the Sufc team page, evidently he picked up an ACL injury which ended his first season with us. Good to know that he isn't afraid to get stuck in, let's hope that he can make real progress this season.

Does anyone know what happened to Kurt Havenhand? He was scoring loads last season but haven't seen his name for ages. I assume he's injured? If so, must have been a bad one.

 

[Champagneblade]

Getting through to the next round isn’t for everyone, eh?

 

[Beans]

Thought Waldron had a very good game. Defended well and put in some good balls at the other end. Okyere and Cummings also did really well off the bench.

Nice to see George Baldock in the stands too along with a couple of the younger (older) lads like Brooks posing for selfies etc et halftime.

 

[finlaytheblade]

Don't think this level stretches O'ne needs to go out on loan and play men's footie.

 

[mattbianco1]

Yes! Get into these club-deserting tossers

It's MK Dons we don't like.
Nothing wrong with Wimbledon

I read that they tried moving the club to Ireland and was going to still play in the English leauges, Dublin away would have been fantastic.

So the original fans don't count!?

 

[S64 Blade]

Did we put out a fairly young side? Didn’t recognise a few of the names, but then again I’ve not paid as much attention this season, so the ones I’m more familiar with may now be in the level above.

 

[biggiesablade]

Of course they do, the whole thing was a cunts trick but the phoenix club (where the original fans are) has got back into league and if I'm right are in same league as MK Don's now. From my blades view though away days to Dublin are much preferable to going to Milton Keynes!

I think he was at the end of our row at Wembley. He was on crutches and had a big knee brace on - and so assume some kind of knee ligament injury. So yes, it looked bad.
