Sam Mather’s apparently involved tonight. Could be a young squad

United should have conceded after a mistake by Fernandez allowed Lincoln to have a 1 on 1. They missed.

We are awful defensively so far. I understand that they are bigger, stronger - but it's the chances we give away.... Fernandez has his usual shocker at the start of each game, Hardley has looked shaky.....these things should not happen.

2-0 Lincoln. Probably already game over. Can see them scoring more goals and it's hard to see where our goals would be coming from.

Defensively awful including the GK.

UNABLE to keep the ball, wasteful careless passing, like watching the first team.

Neil Wood will be fuming

Few united lads getting found out here. just shows that until you’re in men’s football you shouldn’t hype a player up, McNeil massively overrated

We lack cutting edge. Badly needs a player who can beat his man. Missing Amad, Elanga and Pellistri. McNeill and Hoogewerf aren't ready for this.

Calm down.. He’s 17.. So many of these players were playing under 18 last season

So don’t hype up every player until proven? Greenwood proved himself and you lot give the same hype to lads nowhere near his level. McNeil is a lower league player if he’s gonna be striker. And shola is a poor mans rashford.

Jesus. The fact he is considered to have enough ability to even be a part of this game is a great achievement and you’re writing him off

Hannibal off the boil today. Forcing his teammates to make some big errors
Hannibal has been superb IMO and oozes class. His start to the game was a little hyper maybe due to him itching to get back on the pitch again which meant he miss placed a few simple passes. But he's also completed some brilliant passes and a few of his dribbles have completely bamboozled the Lincoln players on occasion. He's also playing in a deeper midfield role.

He definitely hasn't been superb imo. But he was probably our best player in the first half which unfortunately doesn't say much because the overall performance has been pretty bad. The players don't look comfortable with the formation we are trying to play at all.

Is there allowed to be one or two outfield players over 21?

The overall performance clouds judgement, because if Lincoln had Mejbri in their 11 the score line would be much worse for us IMO.

Agree with this.. Probably our best player..

It's difficult to properly judge his performance because he doesn't have many options available for passes, but I just can't say that this has been a superb performance for a talented player like Mejbri when in reality nothing came of any of his attempts.

No idea where you got that McNeil is as hyped as Greenwood?

You do understand this is a incredibly young team playing for experience right?

Mejbri again bamboozles his opponent and plays it down the right but nothing comes of the delivery. He's doing his utmost.

Now we're 3-0 down.

3-0.. Bad defending from Fernandez and not good marking in the box
