[SUFCinks]

I’m now pecks biggest fan. Been a rolls royce this game. My MOM.

 

[Yakblade]

Can't handle Souttar at set pieces, he's a foot above everyone

He's gonna be an absolute weapon at set pieces

 

[BladesOnToast]

Not even 2 games gone: already goals for Arblaster and Marsh, assists for Peck and Brooks. What an academy

 

[HeySethUTB]

Peck needs to be in an around the side, gribic… played well

 

[Shawy24]

Sell Hamer. Keep Peck and Brooky

 

[Sparky_Blade]

Get lad tied down to a long contract!!

 

[eastsussexblade]

ooh Sadie, you remind me of Bryan Ferreey

 

[gooseh]

Always thought Slimane had something about him, maybe needs a run of games to bring it out

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Just like to say the ref’s had a good game. It helps when both sets of players get stuck in fairly and don’t try and con the ref every 2 minutes.

 

[Flumps]

Reyt then, are we taking some bets for the 'view from'?

"Yeah their team is worth millions"

"Something something parachute payments"

"Yeah but we still scored and sharps a cunt"

Some literal bleating about lucky goals or not a pen

"Parachute payments (again)"

"Brewster coat 20 mill lol"

 

[jt64]

Also Souttar very impressive. Not out a foot wrong and looks pretty handy with ball at his feet.

Yep, will add I was really impressed with his distribution, a lot of it was just playing the simple ball but a lot of the time that's all you need to do

Good run out for a lot of the younger lads, hopefully that established a bit of a pecking order (see what I did there) in terms of who is realistically ready to be cover, and who might benefit from more regular games at a lower level, be that U21s or a loan

 

[MayorOJC]

Grbic ends his united career with getting nutmegged

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Wiggy piggy prick fletcher thinks he's hard. Fanny has a hair weave the little pussy

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Peck also doesn't take any sht.

 

[Fatlad666]

Grbic ends his united career with getting nutmegged

Off you pop Herre Grunter

 

[Dieforthreepoints]

Marriot is such a tosspot

 

[SouthportBlade]

Really enjoyed watching this. Lots of positives.

Peck running the show.
Brewster looking lively (albeit missed pen)
Slimane showed some nice touches and first goal
RND back from injury
Souttar faultless
Goal for Marsh
Threatening from corners
Lots of goals
Through to next round
No notable injuries

 

[Berkshire Blade]

3 games against them 10 goals for us!

 

[Sithblade]

Missed one against Blackpool in 22/23, can't remember him taking a penalty since then.

Mcburnie took most of our penalties last season with Norwood and Mcatee having one each I believe.

He also missed one in a league cup penalty shoot out we lost, doing the stuttering run up thing and it was saved. So he has 0/3 record for us.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Team showed passion and quality. We'll played all.

 

[loyalblade95]

He also missed one in a league cup penalty shoot out we lost, doing the stuttering run up thing and it was saved. So he has 0/3 record for us.

Forgot he took one of our penalties that night, think Bernie Traore missed one as well.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Goals, plenty of endeavour, bit of a scrap at the end...good stuff.

Brewster generally did very well and looked good physically, but you just knew he'd miss the penalty.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Peck 19...frikin 19. Talk about the future is bright....

 

[RWE]

It’s nice watching the team play with confidence after last season. Been the best thing getting rid of most the players last season - no scarring on this lot we look a proper side.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[MayorOJC]

Off you pop Herre Grunter

???

 

[Blademan89]

Peck was absolutely class today, looks like he has a bit of everything to his game, and not shy of a tackle or some nice shit housing either.

Easily mom for me followed closely by soutter that mopped nearly everything up, grbic was having a decent game too(wow) until he let himself down with that 2nd goal.

 

[CyloCybin]

Peck = Excellent. My god this kid has a bright future
Coulibaly = Liability. Get rid
Brewster = Played his heart out but he's trying too hard and his nerves seem to get the better of him when it comes to finishing
Souttar = Rock solid
Grbic = Ok at times. A good 3rd choice keeper at best
Slimane = Meh

A solid result considering we played our squad players, and we all know how light we are on those

 

[The Hobott]

Thought grbic was ok

 

[Benitachel]

I have just seen the United team!!!
What a joke. Wilder playing the reserves/ U21s. I won’t be watching it as I would only get angry when we lose. Anyone actually paying at BL to watch this side Wilder has put out must be bonkers.
I hope we win but I’m not holding my breath.

How wrong was I?
I watched it and was impressed with our youngsters .
Wilder knows more about football than an idiot like me. Thank goodness. UTB
