Thanks mate will watch that

 

[Hackey Blade]

Will be good to see how far away we are from the Cat1 scene?

 

[EddieColquhoun]

Marsh, One, Dovy and Giggs away with their countries.

Will be a good test without some of the more experienced names in the squad

 

[Yogi]

Good to see Tinsdale back

HT 0-0

Seems like a cagey, fairly even match.

Sunderland quicker going forward. Not sure why Jilli B is playing right back but he's struggling with Sunderlands best player down that side. Francis skilful and tricky up front for us. They've hit the post but the ref missed a blatant hand ball in the build up. Nothing changes with officials even at this level. 2 Blades booked for pull backs yet Francis is being pulled every time he's in possession yet only a talking to their players.

Good test this they are bigger and stronger. Ex pig Poveda is on their bench for them. If you can blot out the shouting and screaming from both coaches its a good watch.

 

[Paul1963]

1-0 blades

 

[Need4speed]

what is the average age of these players as some seem very young for under 21

 

[Paul1963]

Hardly see the ball down the left,need a couple of people to put their bathroom lights on!

 

[Nedski]

Who's idea was it to have adverts during play? It's bloody annoying

 

[Northyorksblade]

Whose the number 12? Missed the start of second half.

Fantastic save! Sunderland looking strong.

 

[Paul1963]

Ref must be a Mackem,united player rugby tackled,no yellow card

 

[Paul1963]

FT 1-0

 

[Addison]

0-1 final score. Much better second half. Waldron on and Sachdev tightened up the right hand side. Hit the post but Faxon pulled off 2 excellent saves. Pleasing result against a Cat 1 Academy side in a higher division and it shut their coach with the big gob up.

 

[Hackey Blade]

An excellent win for the young uns that

 

[Yogi]

Good competitive game that plenty of good performances in that United side 1-0 probably a fair result as United edged it for me.

 

[CirenBlade]

Really competitive game. Both sides played well. For me Sachdev and Faxon were our best players but all played well.

 

[Blade58]

strong performance
Faxon pulled off a couple of excellent saves and one or two lads showed glimpses of quality

 

[EddieColquhoun]

Only caught the last 15 minutes. You’ve got to love Waldron
They showed the highlights at the end. You’d think clubs would be fighting to get Faxon on loan.

Are Sunderland Cat 1?
It wasn’t’t our ‘full strength’ side but you can see that the standard from Sunderland is better than we usually face.

Yes they are, I think they’re about 11th in the league with about 26 teams in that league so no pushovers

Waldron is a cracking player in the making. He changed the game against Birmingham in the PDL final. He reminds me of Derek Geary, and not just because he's short, but because he's a tenacious bugger and great bombing forward too. He's got a great cross on him. He's one of the next generation after Marsh etc that I'm most excited about.

Faxon is a fantastic keeper for his age and has all the makings to go all the way.
