RoystonFoote'snephew Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 City 2 up after only 9 minutes. A penalty from Palmer-Houlden (yes honestly a penalty) and a goal from Pearson. Quote
!james Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 Is Pearson back from Wimbledon then? Wasn't in their squad yesterday... Quote

I think Sam is a causality of the rest of Wimbledon’s January business, they brought in Janneh and Jaiyesimi who can both play wide and has probably pushed Sam down the pecking order, on finding out he wasn’t in their 18 for this weekend we probably told Wimbledon we’d play him today to give him some minutes, hopefully scoring gives Wimbledon a prod to include him Quote

Doubt it, he’s still on Wimbledon’s website and we haven’t seen anything official about any recall. Realistically all we could do is send him back to the national league anyway. This way a bit of loss of form from someone at Wimbledon and he could be back playing league football. Quote

Lrrr Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 Pearson off at 65 minutes indicates it was agreed for him to play rather than City just telling Wimbledon otherwise no reason we'd not have played him for 90. 1 Quote

He can, there's nothing that stops him, another example I gave when Fevs tagged me was Morton a few years ago when he was on loan at Gillingham, Steve Evans had no intention of playing him so City just started playing him in the U23's for the second half of the season but he was still technically on loan at Gillingham. 1 Quote
Guest Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 Strong display this afternoon. U21s doing what they do really well. Happy to play without the ball and hit on the counter. Really tight, solid shape not allowing an average Everton side to create and when they did, snuffed everything out. Back three were excellent. Especially Duncan & Jamie KL. Omar TC looking like first team exposure is aiding his development. Seb PH ran his socks off as usual with little to feed off. U21s are a tough nut to crack. Great result. Quote

What intrigued was that since the competitions introduction in 2013/14 neither of the Manchester clubs or Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal or Spurs have won it. Current holders are WBA. Quote

I’d argue cat 2 football is more realistic then cat 1 which takes things to the extreme and out of possession seems to be let them have the ball and do nothing until they get out of their own third. 1 Quote
