U23s away at Burnley

[I should coco]

A cricket score win could put us Top.

That worked out well then!

Enjoy your ale, you might need a few more than usual.....

Christ, just checked..... they've won 2 in 7, we're unbeaten in 7.

Last meeting at Burnley - 2017, 1-6 to the Blades lol.

Yes. But, today, Roy Keane & Martin O'Neill were here watching current International players in the Burnley side.
That's the nature of PDL football one week 17 year olds, the next full internationals.
Last year was Burnley's first in this League. Despite being a PL side, they only decided to ramp up their Academy system very recently.

Is their keeper the one who was at Man U for years? Add to that Brady and Ben Gibson (12mill boro CB?) and they've got too good a team out for this level.

Aye, add that we've currently 8/9 players out on loan that usuall play at this level...

The dude that banged 4 in for them.... rarely plays, only played 8 games for the u23s in 2 years..... but banged 13 in.

Not a lot to say after that fiasco. A guy with 39 Irish Caps. And a guy who was in an England Squad last year. Both starting for Burnley. It's not going to be easy. Anyway, here's a link to my Blog Report.

Not great reading Phil. Seems Burnley treat it as a reserve squad, which I suppose it is. I am sure the bevy was better than the match

Ball_Sup (Phil) , from seeing your posts, you talk a lot about England, Blades u16s/18s/21s/Elites matches but hardly talk about the 1st team matches?

Yes Silent Blade mate
I've been struggling with the Blog of late. I'm trying to let it find it's place in the modern world. I just feel, more of our First Team games on TV, Red Button midweek, some excellent analytical Blogs & Podcasts coming on stream, some excellent satirical & lyrical Blogs coming on stream. By the time my First Team bumbling Blog has been written & published, it's not current or topical.
At least with the Futures, Academy, Youth stuff I have a bit of a unique selling point. In that very few readers will have actually seen the game themselves & very few others will be writing a report. I just feel there's less point in Blogging from First Team games.
Always open to comments, steers, feedback though. My Blog is looking for a space ..
