Fenham Mag Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 York City Reserves 1 Newcastle United Reserves 3 (Abeid 21, 28; Folan 23) Two stunners from Mehdi Abeid helped Newcastle Reserves to a comfortable win at Bootham Crescent in a behind-closed-doors practice match. United handed a trial to a right-back and also gave games to Phil Airey - his first since returning from a loan spell at Hibernian - and Paul Dummett, Tamas Kadar, Joan Edmundsson and Abeid on their return from international duty. There was also a debut as a second-half substitute for 14-year-old goalkeeper Freddie Woodman, the highly-rated son of Magpies coach Andy Woodman. With York boss Gary Mills looking on, the home side threatened first on eight minutes as Adriano Moke surged down the left and cut into the box, only to see his shot hit the side-netting, but from that point Newcastle took control with some sublime one-touch passing through the midfield giving them the platform. First Bradden Inman siezed possession and his low strike was expertly tipped around the post by the home side's 42-year-old goalkeeper Paul Musselwhite, then Joan Edmundsson supplied a clever chipped pass for Phil Airey - playing his first game since returning from a loan spell with Hibernian - who shot straight at the keeper. Australian midfielder Inman continued his bright start to the game as he started and finished a move which also involved Airey and Edmundsson but shot narrowly wide then, from Paul Dummett's short throw-in, Mehdi Abeid ran half the length of the pitch before letting fly from the edge of the box, but it was too close to Musselwhite. Another incisive move saw Inman feed Airey whose first-time lay-off was struck by Michael Richardson - but again, the experienced York stopper was in the way. But there was nothing Musselwhite could do to keep out Abeid's 21st minute opener, and indeed the goalkeeper will probably have seen few goals beat him in quite such spectacular fashion throughout his 25-year career. Airey teed him up nearly 30 yards out and the young midfielder hammered the ball into the top corner for his first goal in black and white. Stephen Folan doubled the lead just two minutes later - albeit from rather closer to goal - as Edmundsson's right-wing corner fell to the Irish defender who smashed the ball home from five or six yards. York briefly rallied with a couple of efforts from distance going off target before Michael Richardson cut in from the left but was thwarted by Musselwhite. But on 28 minutes the veteran keeper was beaten for a third time as Abeid grabbed his brace. A poor goal kick fell to the former Lens youngster 25 yards out and before Musselwhite could get back on his line, the ball was past him with unerring accuracy. From Moke's cutback, York's no4 hit the underside of the Newcastle crossbar with 16-year-old keeper Jonathan Mitchell helpless. But it was United who ended the half on top, with Edmundsson denied by a superb fingertip save from Musselwhite and Airey heading over from Richardson's perfect cross. Peter Beardsley and Willie Donachie used all six of their substitutes in the second half, including a debut for goalkeeper Freddie Woodman - son of United Goalkeeper Coach Andy - at the age of just 14. Their two best opportunities of the second period both fell to full-backs - first Dummett marauding down the left but seeing his shot saved and then sub Michael Riley scuffing wide after Inman had picked him out. On 78 mins, Richardson saw an effort well saved and sub Ryan McGorrigan was denied a certain goal by a last-ditch block from a City defender. Woodman did well to palm away effort from Moke, who then shot wide moments later after dribbling through the defence. But he was beaten in the 87th minute by the York no.7, who turned home from close range after David McGurk had headed on a corner. However, he made a superb reaction stop just moments later, then produced a strong save from the York no.4 as Newcastle ran out victorious ahead of their next Barclays Premier Reserve League game at home to Liverpool next week. Newcastle United Reserves: Jonathan Mitchell (sub Freddie Woodman 74), Trialist (sub Michael Riley 57), Paul Dummett (sub Brandon Miele 59), Stephen Folan, Tamas Kadar, Joan Edmundsson (sub Adam Campbell 46), Greg McDermott, Bradden Inman, Mehdi Abeid (sub Dennis Knight 53), Michael Richardson, Phil Airey (sub Ryan McGorrigan 64). 14 year old in the reserves Is that a club record?

BottledDog Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Just watched the highlight and interviews on .cock. Good stuff. Decent goals from Mehdi, and Edmundsson's curler would have been a cracker too if the old bloke in goal didn't get a hand to it. Woodmans kid is way too tall for a 14 year old though.

I remember people complaining about Lee Clark being reserve manager. It does help create an identity with the younger players though what it means to play for Newcastle... 'THE NEWCASTLE WAY' (just kidding). A few former youth/reserve players are gaining coaching experience with the Foundation at the moment. Nobby has been gaining experience too.

teohgk Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Peter Beardsley has been handed the task of identifying a new generation of Newcastle stars after being appointed as the club's football development manager. The former England international, who enjoyed two distinguished spells as a player at St James' Park, will spearhead the Magpies' effort to recruit the best young talent at home and abroad while retaining his involvement on the coaching side. Beardsley, whose current position as reserve team manager will be taken up by development coach Willie Donachie, has been handed a five-year contract in his new role. He said: "A large part of our club's future rests with our youth, so this is a terrific role for me. "Helping bring exciting young talent to Newcastle United will make me very proud. "I spoke with the manager today and Alan [Pardew] made it very clear how important this job is and what a difference he believes I can make to the club and its development." Managing director Derek Llambias added: "Peter has been an exceptional ambassador for our club for many years. "His international standing within the industry, together with the skills he brings to the training field, make him the perfect appointment for this vital new role. "We will also continue to benefit from the qualities that Peter brings to the training field. "He will continue to work with the development squad to support Willie in the coaching and technical development of players. "The Board is committed to improving the recruitment and development of young talented players who can progress through the ranks of the Academy and development squad. "We are delighted to appoint Peter to help us develop a truly world-class development programme." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
