Title: Re: Youth game vs Man Utd Post by: Ginginho on Tuesday, January 16, 2024, 21:00:40 That's some result that, fair play. Man Utd under 18s have won 11 of 11 league games so far this season.

Title: Re: Youth game vs Man Utd Post by: Legends-Lounge on Tuesday, January 16, 2024, 22:03:20 No of the ‘correspondents’ on the Man U forum thought it within themselves to eat a bit of humble pie and concede that they’ve just been turned over by a team 60 places (according to one of them) below Man U in the yoofs pyramid.
Title: Re: Youth game vs Man Utd Post by: Bob's Orange on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, 06:53:32 Great result over what is a formidable youth team going on their league performance this season. Very well done to Sean Wood and the players, and a crowd of 2k+ to watch, chuffed for them.
Who's next? I assume we'll be at home as we will be a 'minnow'? Title: Re: Youth game vs Man Utd Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, 07:33:53 Gillingham or Sunderland away

A few decent players on view for Town, highly likely that many will have been "spotted" and will be sold soon, but good luck to them. The lad Ameen took the 2nd goal so well and TBH Utd rarely troubled us, nice to see 4 at the back in a Town side. Enjoy your success lads, you deserved it.

Quote from: bitter united fan I think people underestimate the impact of this. The midfield couldn’t do their usual slick pass and move due to the state of the pitch and that may have been deliberate from Swindon. The teams capability has been demonstrated this season so whilst disappointing, this result is nothing to worry about. https://www.redcafe.net/threads/fa-youth-cup-4th-round-swindon-town-vs-man-united-16-1-2024.481071/page-3 Title: Re: Youth game vs Man Utd Post by: ChalkyWhiteIsGod on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, 12:22:13 Someone sign up and tell him we just have a shit pitch because we had to sack our alcoholic groundsman for stealing in the till at the bar and the new guy isn't as good.
How the other half live. Title: Re: Youth game vs Man Utd Post by: Wobbly Bob on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, 12:24:54 The pitch did look a bit rough in places nearer the Arkells.
Perhaps understandable given all of the recent heavy rain. Probably not going to improve much either but it's not the only one judging from EFL highlights. Title: Re: Youth game vs Man Utd Post by: Batch on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, 12:24:56 Someone sign up and tell him we just have a shit pitch because we had to sack our alcoholic groundsman for stealing in the till at the bar WTF!Quote and the new guy isn't as good. In fairness its had more concentrated rain and more use - so its not obvious. Apparently we have even had training sessions held on it. Title: Re: Youth game vs Man Utd Post by: Freeloader on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, 13:16:06 Just some perspective, I recall some years ago that Man Utd's youth team played a pre-season friendly against Swindon's first team at The County Ground and won 3: 0. I think that we were in League 1 at the time. Don Rogers should give the pre-game team talk on Saturday.

Didn't look watered pre-game, but what can you do with frost at night? Utd's comms clutching at straws, since when have youth team pitches have been consistently at EFL standard? George Best used to play on paddy fields and like Don Rogers used to have a clean kit, nobody could get near either of them.
