Our boys look absolutely knackered. Or slow. I'm hoping it's the first.

 

Is there a reason we don't try to play the same system throughout all levels of the club btw? 

That’ll be an Ashworth change. Brighton send their loanees to clubs that play their type of football. This will be the next evolution.

Guess that our Intensity is taking much toll on adult body let alone teenagers that are still growing so we don't play that system

Not sure how McArthur isn't sent-off there. 


Think the refs are sometimes generous at this level. That #10 is mustard and just got a toe in - McArthur was tired and late but you could argue not malicious.

Watched most of the game then gave up. Such a gulf in class. We have a long way to go


Yeah the academy is very much in keeping with the 5 year plan - still a way to go - good thing is we are starting from the bottom and the only way is up

Good to see Shahar and Sanusi getting a mention.


2023/24:
Fortess Little Benton!

Newcastle U18s  3  Blackburn Rovers U18s  0
 

It's now played three won three at home so far this season for United's U18 side, following their latest conquest against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.

A bright start by the black and whites failed to produce a goal, both Joe Brayson and Darren Palmer firing narrowly wide from Leo Shahar's deliveries.

Rovers were given the chance to open the scoring on 34 minutes when goalkeeper Aidan Harris impeded Junior Nsango at the cost of a penalty.

Nsango got up to take the kick but pinged his effort of the angle of crossbar and post - United's Travis Hernes rattling the goal frame at the other end soon after.

Newcastle went ahead two minutes after the restart when Trevan Sanusi touched home Shahar's centre from the right.

That lead was in danger just four minutes later when Rovers were awarded another spot kick; Zack Stritch this time stepping up to see his effort blocked by Harris, who was on the bench in Milan on Tuesday.

Match referee Samuel Ross gave his third penalty of the afternoon on 56 minutes, Brayson sending Adam Khan the wrong way from 12 yards for 2-0.

Graham Carrick's youngsters opened up a three goal lead on the hour mark, thanks to a close range finish - Palmer credited with the last touch by the PL reporter present but colleague Luke Craggs congratulated by his colleagues.

Sanusi was then denied a fourth by Khan before going off - a lively display from the home debutant the highlight of an encouraging team performance.

Team: Harris, Shahar, Charlton, Munda (Emerson 46), Watts, Craggs, Brayson (Donaldson 58), Hernes, Neave (Bryant 69), Palmer, Sanusi (R.Powell 72).
Sub n/u: Harrison.

This is as close as to men against boys as you can legally get like. Vast majority of our side are from the u16s/u17s. [emoji38]
