FA Youth Cup 3rd Round

[harringtonsghost]

Just realised that I am going to be in Burnley on the day of the U-18s cup match (11 Dec) so I have arranged to stay over and watch the game. According to the Burnley website it's a 7pm kick-off and entry is £2 (£4 for whipper-snappers). Might find myself as a crowd of 1 but definitely looking forward to it!

Don't forget to do a match report as it'd be interesting to read a non club view of the game.

You'll enjoy it - and (given the chance) play quite a sophisticated style of football, so there's very hope of a decent game

Just picked up my ticket. They are expecting to sell 'about 300'. They seem to be taking this game pretty seriously, even going to cover it on their main twitter feed. And they are very confident they are going to win.

Sh#t. 1-0 Burnley. Bad error by Evans.

 

[Dubai Yellow]

Despite the early set back, it would seem we are dominating possession and playing some great stuff. The better team by all accounts on the radio commentary.

 

[harringtonsghost]

Getting much more of the ball now but the short corners are poor. Their No 11 is flying past Sandford but not much of a threat from the others.

 

[harringtonsghost]

Finishing the half strongly. Pulled Lofthouse back one on one with the No 11. Smart move.

HT 1-0. Still in it. Some thoughts - Nico Jones is HUGE but a bit slow for this level. Elechi is everywhere could be another Baptiste. James and Spasov look class but Lopez doesn't look fit. McCreadie gave the ball away a lot to start with but got much better and ran the last 15 minutes. Chambers-Parillon completely anonymous. And I didn't know we had two blonde lady physios with ponytails.

 

[harringtonsghost]

Lucky lucky. Another one kicked off the line.

 

[harringtonsghost]

Job done there, they've taken off their No 11. Game on.

 

[harringtonsghost]

Wow. 5 on 2 break but great saving tackle by Niblett.

 

[harringtonsghost]

Lopez off, Crooks on.

 

[harringtonsghost]

Yessssss. 1-1. Crooks has made a difference and gets the goal.

 

[bazzer9461]

And their fella gets sent for punching crooks what a t**t

 

[Marked Ox]

Credit to the radio coverage which is decent but the main commentator does talk in a staccato and dramatic way.

 

[harringtonsghost]

FT 1-1. All Oxford so far in ET. Spasov off Edwards on.

 

[harringtonsghost]

Penalty to us. Missed but they now have 9 men
