He reminds me a bit of Pearson of Celtic who we were talking about on another thread, closer to Gerrard than Scholes though obviously nowhere near either yet

Scholesy would be a ball winner if only he could time his tackles!!!!

I was refering to the way his clever first touches make him that extra couple of yards of space, that was the only comparison with Scholes I was drawing.

"Dave Jones, he scores goals" will hopefully be sung at old trafford in the years to come, he does get forward well.

Fabien Brandy impressed me a great deal too. Tireless up front, even though the game didn't really go our way. I was also impressed by the little lad that nearly scored a "Gazza", flicked the ball over someones head but failed to get any real purchase on the shot. I was also impressed by the fact that not many of our team where big lads that you could tell didn't have loads of ability but will always excel at youth level because they are physically ahead of the rest. Most of those lads don't make it because they are found wanting when everyone cathes them up physically. Mind you, our right back was nearly as big as me!

I think it was sturridge, I believe he is a relative of Dean

Elliott · 25th August 2004, 03:17

so how did the reserves do on tuesday?

feck · 25th August 2004, 07:24

Won 1-0. Late goal from David Poole.

And what a goal it was..... he deserved it a tireless performance.

Bojan and David Jones looked good again last night, surprised Jones came off at half time but his replacement Floribert N'gulala looks like a good prospect (Can't believe he's only 17!). Paul McShane has always impressed me this season when I've seen him play and last night was no different.

Number7 · 25th August 2004, 12:11

Djordic was immense. Best player on the pitch for the last 3 reserve games.

jatin · 25th August 2004, 13:29

whom were they playing against

did richardson play
if so how did he do

ruudvantastic · 25th August 2004, 13:59

They played against Wolves. We were pretty dominant and should have won by more than 1-0. It was the our more senior reserve side but none of the lads that have been in the 1st team squad recently played. If I can recall the team was:
Heaton
Picken, McShane, Howard, Lawrence,
Poole, Fox, D Jones, Djordic
Timm, Calliste

N'galula on for Jones
Collet on for Timm

jatin · 25th August 2004, 16:18

how did timm and jones do

RedPhil1957 · 25th August 2004, 16:37

the whole team played well 1st half and should have gone in well infront, they seemed to get a bit frustrated as the time went on and the game got scrappy, as so often happens we scored when wolves were having their best spell of the game with another great finish by Poole.

It's a good side that. I've not seen Fox before the end of last season but he looks a very tidy little player, way too lightweight though.

Did Collet play well again? Benn very impressed with him, he's another I hadn't seen much of.

jatin · 25th August 2004, 18:52

i am interested in knowing how timm is coming along

he is supposed to be very skillfull but doesn't have the temprament

so has his loan spell sone him any good like djordic

LenSharkey · 25th August 2004, 19:03

sounds like Collett is back. I think he won the youth teamer of the year and then got a bad injury.

Not one of his better games I'm afraid. Was OK but not much better.

Keilyn27 · 26th August 2004, 08:35

What's happened to Bardsley? He's completely dropped out of sight lately.

Timm seemed to loose all confidence after missing two changes and his first touch left him completly. The team played wonderfully the fist half, but where not good enough in the second. Jeckell and Hyde I am afraid. That might be normal as this is only their 2nd game in that league. If that is the case than we are in for some wonderful games!

can anyone post updates regarding cooper in the portugese league

ashlandf or lagostin

Mozza · 28th August 2004, 17:18

Johnson scored the thrid of coventrys 4 goals. Is danny webber still a united player? He scored twice today

ruudvantastic · 28th August 2004, 19:53

Danny Webber signed for Watford on a permanant deal at the start of last season after impressing during his loan spell.

RedPhil1957 · 29th August 2004, 19:39

under18 result

United 3-2 West Ham -

only seen the brief highlights so cannot give details, i think Rossi scored 2 and evans 1

MThomas · 29th August 2004, 21:11

rossi scored 1
campbell and lee martin scored the other two

MelvinYeo · 30th August 2004, 06:24

rossi looks to be scoring goalks at that level

Anyone knows how his general play has been like?

That was in the 1st game. Against West Ham Rossi scored 2 and Sean Evans 1.

Keilyn27 · 31st August 2004, 08:13

What about Martin, how’s his playing style, passer/dribbler? Has he been played as a CM or a winger?

And what’s happened to Pique? He’s not featured in any game.

He is a winger. He is more a dribbler, but a fine passer as well. He runs well with the ball.

I know Pique has been training with us, but weather he has got his international clearence yet, or is injured, I do not know. He hasn´t been playing with the u-18.

Maybe because he's been out on loan for so long? I'd like to see them both playing in the same reserve team at some point soon before making judgements. Remember, the reserves and first teams are of very different levels.

United just beat Rochdale 3-1 in the Pontins League. We really outplayed them all match. Rossi was excellent as you would know if you read my thread in the United forum

. Goals by Eagles, Rossi and Richardson.
