Academy Update
United's Under 16's defeated Stoke City 4-1 at the Pirelli Stadium yesterday. After a disappointing 1-2 defeat to Manchester City the previous week, the young reds were back in form and were too good for the Stoke juniors.
Team: Bulmer, Moffatt, Gill, "Swiss triallist", Strickland, Farrelly, Lampkin, James, Bryant, Potts, Dudgeon
Subs: Longworth (3), McMaster (6), Gill (9), Farrelly (11)
Gill and Farrelly came back on later in the game......
Goals: Bryant 2, James, Gill
Regular keeper Gary Woods will be out for the rest of the season after sustaining an injury in training that required him to be taken to hospital in an ambulance. No news on what exactly happened as yet. It will look like Niki-Lee Bulmer and perhaps Conor Devlin will now share goalkeeping responsibilities for the 16's.
The previous week, United lost to City 1-2. Bryant scored the goal but I don't know the full team. The following seven players did turn out though...Woods, Dudgeon, Strickland, Potts, Lampkin, Bryant, Ajose
Finally, Floribert N'Galula is still out with his recurring hip problem. He hardly played at all last season, and has missed most of this campaign so far.
More news to follow....
