yeah I was going to go but something cropped up at the last minute. Looks like we've missed a good game

1-0 then 2-1 then 3-2 to us and then each time pegged back to all square within minutes. Currently 3-3.

 

[Giovanni]

3-2 ahead now. They all look so small, like 12 year olds

Goodness me its crazy. As soon as we score we let one in. We have conceded within 3 minutes each time!

 

[Hoddle_Ledge]

Excellent run from Bennetts into the box, 5 yards out could have shot but squared to Stirling 2-3.

Dons equalised almost from kick off 3-3

 

[coys200]

Bennetts having another blinder by sounds of it.Reckon hes next for 1st squad.

 

[Hengy1]

Looks like can’t keep the lead for long than a few minutes

that was a good bit of info on him.

slightly off topic I know but I was reading this guardian article on Rashford and trying to understand his rise.
If I remember correctly @spurs9 and @IGSpur had mentioned that there were several others at youth level who looked better than him. So is his success simply right place right time or something else?

Seem to have a lot of these crazy scoring games at U23.Surprising considering the 1st team ethic.

Pretty much. Judged against the rest of their youth team at the time Rashford just looked like a kid with a lot of pace and not much else, he also looked quite gangly and unbalanced - bambi on ice comes to mind. There were others who showed far more invention and skill in his team. I guess they were all trying to unseat seasoned international stars where as Rashford emerged as someone with a lot of pace at a time when United's forward like lacked exactly that. Right place. Right Time.

apropos of nothing...

Anyone know what the hell has happened to Shayon Harrison? Is he injured? I don't think he's going to make it here at all but he seems to have disappeared even from the U23 scene.

4-3 ...ex spurs parrett scores in injury time against us

 

[Danny1]

So it appears Bennetts is playing really well lately! For people more clued up than I, what are his chances of breaking into the Spurs team in the next couple of years?

Let Rose go and promote Bennetts maybe?

 

[Hoddle_Ledge]

That Wimbledon winner was on the cards for a while. Skipp's always looked good when I've seen him.

Even the youth team is Spursy.
