It was just the way he stumbled his way past those first few challenges, you obviously hasn't got the power.
Yeah it'd suck if that guy went to Spurs.

Traore potentially promoted to the U23s?
He was injured a lot of last season, it'd be surprising for him to be moved up so soon. Although stranger things have happened.
He did get a couple of games in the U23s if i recall correctly?

County Londonderry beat Manchester United 2-1 in the junior section of the SuperCupNI tonight, Jovani Molenge with the goal for United.
Molenge looks like a mini Lukaku, left footer, big physique for his age, got 41 or so goals last season apparently
I'll take your word for it, I hadn't heard of him till 6 months ago
Was at the game - goalscorer for Co. Londonderry was Lee Harkin who had a trail with United last month - looked pretty useful. Charlie Savage is a spitting image of his dad.

Not surprised, it's the worst age group in the whole Academy.
Two great finishes from Harkin there, wouldn't be surprised if he flies back to Manchester with the squad after the tournament.
With it being a young squad surprised at least one of Sam Murray, Rajdeep Palett and Harvey Rowe(3 of the Huddersfield Six)weren't in the squad, or are they currently injured, or not as good as expected.
Which is the best age group ?
They tried a big recruitment drive last year, but it clearly hasn't worked, 60% to 70% of this age group were released at the end of the season, looking at the squad list at least four of them are from the year below (they seemed to have picked the biggest U14's to pad out the numbers)
As to which is the best age group, it's a difficult one to answer, every age group has 3-4 players that the club indentify as exceptional and the rest are there just to make up the numbers.
So do you not hold out much hope that the lads will recover from getting beat yesterday and get the points needed in what look tougher games(Rangers and Club NI) to get through to the later stages of the competition then ?
Looks pretty quick for a short lad

Can anybody put a name to some of these lads currently at the SuperCupNI ?
The one with the naff Armani tattoo is Charlie Savage
GK looks like the smallest guy on the team.
They should have borrowed the box Lou Macari uses when he's stood next to Stewart Gardner pitch-side on MUTV for him
United beat Rangers 1-0 in the 2nd match @ the SuperCupNI, George Walters with the goal.
As far as I know Palett & Rowe have been released
Bennett, Wyatt, Fish, Polakowski, Mayamona, Ibrahim, MolengeCan anybody put a name to some of these lads currently at the SuperCupNI ?
Iqbal, Walters Dodgson, Savage
Oh right, cheers
Cheers @jb8521, top man
Zidane Iqbal is a top class name.
No problem
Partner him with Ronaldo Vieira(Leeds Utd.)and that would be our midfield sorted for a decade

Well done lads, now go and win it
Great effort from Walters for Savage's goal yesterday, dribbled past like 3 or 4 players.
Only less than half of the squad are from the U15s group. Many 2003-born U16s and 4 U14s (Aljofree, Fredericson, Norlett, Mainoo).
Probably because there’s not many to choose from, they’ve clearly picked the biggest 14’s to make up the numbers.
At least there are some good players now in the U15s group like Walters, Ibrahim, Molenge etc on top of Shoretire. Few years ago it was really bad (on rare occasion that I could watch them).

Interesting this.
So we are planning to play similar formations in all the three leagues?
