Reserves / Youth Team thread 2013/14

[Venton]

WH 0 - 1 Liverpool. Half time.

[Shaggy]

One of the worst fumbles you are likely to see

Nice pass from Sakho in the build up too.

[Venton]

Ah horror, wasn't it. One of those slow-mo ooooohhhhh fuuuuuccckkkk moments for the keepers. Helpless and hapless. Hopefully that will destroy his confidence for the second half. They must be sick in that dressing room the little *******s.

[Venton]

We're off again. Lucas and Sakho remain in the team.

[Venton]

Brannagan just offside there, close though. They'll be pushing up now so there will be opportunities, especially with the second half tiredness and the general teenage lack of concentration.

[Venton]

Under-18s play tomorrow morning at 11am at United. I will be in Walthamstow, sussing it out. I know very little about Walthamstow apart from the Barron Knights song about Anne and Jo.

[Venton]

Quiet start but we have a weak header on target. We look to control everything, I notice.

[Venton]

Lovely play from West Ham comes to nothing. Page down the left and Lee slices it wide from a great cross. "A warning shot".

[Venton]

Noyle (WH) gets away from Smith (US) down the right and gets a cross in that Mersin catches at the near post.

[Venton]

This is still a very close match, there's very little in this apart from that bad news for Der Spiegel moment (tm).

[Venton]

I've just learned that Brad Dunn is from Plymouth. Poor, poor *******.

[Venton]

Ok, we signed him from Plymouth. Phew, glad that's been clarified. This lad will make it.

[Venton]

I've hexed him. Tx plays a great pass down the wing to him and under no pressure he sends it to fetch Lucas' previous effort in for tea.

[Venton]

Sakho down.

[Venton]

but he's up again... "he's a big fella" says our Steve. "It takes a lot to put him down, I can tell you". About a man who's just returned from injury.
