Good chance for Obertan, one on one with the goalkeeper and he bottled it. Tish!!!

There's something refreshing about watching the academy and reserves. Its a nice break away from all the stress and nerves that go with the first team nowadays.

I felt very nervous the way our defence was playing. All in all there are some promising young players there.

Its good to see there was four u18s on the pitch at the end, and I have high hopes for all of them. Fryers looked impressive in the bit of the game I saw.

Devlin needs to cut out his errors when he is one on one with a centre-forward. Brown needs to just calm down with his passing as when he hits the ball, it goes at 100mph. Apart from that, very impressed with the Manchester United reserve comeback.

I thought Devlin was the real deal a year back, but I'm slightly sceptical now. Tom Thorpe who came on right back is one of the top defensive talents we have coming through, great to see him getting a few minutes at this level. BTW thats 3 consecutive 2-2 draws for United at all levels.

He just needs to keep up the good work. As for the 3 consecutive 2-2 draws at all competitive levels, we are clearly failing to dominate teams in the last 10-15 minutes of games and letting them come back.

Great goal by Eikrem in the dying seconds -esp as he had not had one of his better games. I could see him doing ok as part of a 3 in midfield -in the way we were hoping Cleverly would this season.

I doubt that, Eikrem deserved a start at Scunthorpe, but didn't even get on. Our policy of giving youth a chance seems to have changed.

Sorry, I don't really get what you mean theqe. When I quoted your post, I used the name "Cleverley" rather than Eikram, so it sounded like it was irrelevant to the post you made.

Oh right I get you now. We have 10 quality lads on loan at the moment, which is the major factor in our poor start to the reserve league.
