Academy vs Crewe
A chance for the Academy to take revenge for the away loss earlier in the season. Team news to follow - apparently Wootton is playing centre mid and we have a right back on trial from Liverpool.

 Interesting team. Crewe always seem to do well at Carrington, but then we always seemed to do well at their place until this year, so hopefully we can change it too. |

1-0 Ajose, placed in the far corner when everyone expected a cross.
Pogue - there is a Senior Cup match on Monday so they may be involved in that as we normally play a younger team. Also a few players were involved in international double headers so that may also be a factor. |

I thought it was harsh at the time, however 1-1 is probably a fair reflection of the half as both keepers have been busy.
Oswell is a real elbowful up front, and they look dangerous on the counterattack and from set pieces as quite a big side. |

Thorpe perhaps fortunate to escape with only a yellow after hauling back Oswell on the edge of the area when he would have been clean through (although Fryers was in line, he would have been too far away to make a challenge).

2-2 Keane knocks in a great left footed finish into the top corner from a King cross from the left.
Keane went close earlier with a dipping snapshot from the edge of the area whilst Crewe continue to threaten on the counter. |

FT 2-2 Ajose nearly winning the game with the last kick, flashing a half volley narrowly wide after a goalmouth scramble.
The score was probably fair, with United dominating possession, but Crewe a constant threat on the break, Oswell proving a real handful. Wootton was probably the pick of the United players. |

We enjoyed a lot of possession in the second without really creating much then Crewe scored on the break. The introduction of King added that extra penetration upfront I thought and we started to work the ball in the wider areas where we had more joy. Unlucky not to win it at the end.
