Away Match Day Thread +++ 19/11/19 FA Youth Cup Colchester v OUFC +++

[mickbrownsconscience]

A step up in the quality of the opposition for the U-18s in the Second Round Proper of the FA Youth Cup. Away to Colchester who have a well-established and well-respected Category 2 Academy. And the match will be played in their new 10,000 seater stadium.
Hope we didn't pick up any knocks against Brizzle on Saturday, and hopefully Viktor Milton and Slavi Spasov will be fully fit.

This time last year we went to Burnley, also a Category 2 Academy, and came away from Turf Moor with a win on penalties after a cracking game. Half a dozen from that squad will be playing on Tuesday so here's looking forward to another good game and a victory.

Winners have a home draw in the third round against the newly set-up Maidenhead United Academy, which on paper should be a much easier tie.

Looks like we have a strong team tonight I’m looking forward to it bring it on ?

 

[Sarge]

Damn cold here in Colchester. Hope the kit man has packed the gloves.

hopefully itll be a decent game and an u18s win ... can you give us updates @harringtonsghost ?

 

[mickbrownsconscience]

Chris Hackett warming them up. Only 6 of the outfielders wearing gloves. LBS studying the opponents. They have got some big lads but then so have we.

 

[mickbrownsconscience]

Strong side. Milton and Spasov both starting. Adam Smith on the bench.

 

[mickbrownsconscience]

1 - 0 Spasov

 

[Sarge]

come on you young U's

 

[Frustrated Yellow]

Sounds like a lot of yellow cards for Colchester

 

[mickbrownsconscience]

Proper pen this time. 3-2 Spasov. Game on.

 

[Sarge]

Matching dodgy pen to us. Also saved from Lopez

Hope it has the same 'consequences' as in the first half when cols got the upper hand and scored after their (dodgy) pen was saved.... utm

[Frustrated Yellow]

Smith on for spasov one goal machine for another?

 

[Sarge]

Spasov not long back from injury hope hes not limping for anything too serious

 

[Sarge]

Us on top now but Lopez and Elechi both limping

Remeber Colchesters first team being a bunch of cloggers(some years ago) ....perhaps their youngsters play the colchester "way' too ?

 

[Frustrated Yellow]

So does this go to pens if it's a draw at full time or extra time

Super sub ?

 

[Frustrated Yellow]

The goal machine struck again then

 

[Frustrated Yellow]

All over to Thame for the next round then
Edit we play Maidenhead

 

[mickbrownsconscience]

4-3 FT. Wow. That game had Everything. MOM for me was Leon Chambers-Parillon, kept the midfield really tight. Now to thaw out.

 

[bazzer9461]

Well done Oxford U18’s

 

[Notaswindonfan]

Sounds like a proper game of football. Thanks for the updates and COYY

 

[Sarge]

Is the next round away? .....isnt maidenheads ground one of the oldest in england?

 

[Foley]

Hopefully Spasov is ok. He has really hit the ground running having come back from a nasty injury.
Smith? Wow he just cant seem.to stop scoring.
That was a very big win. The next round on paper should be more comfortable. So a really good opportunity to get through to the 4th round if we beat Maidrnhead at Thame.

Looks like it will be at Thame Sarge.
