Watching the u21 develpoment squad v a 'very young Ipswich team' - at half time it is 1 1. We scored in the second minute when a great cross by Sloth was headed through the keeper by Mulhearn - a soft goal really. Then the keeper nearly gave us another when he flapped at a ball under pressure from Erwin and it fell straight to walters who blasted over. They equalised when Cameron Stewart (yes that Cameron Stewart) turned Coyle inside out and a low hard cross into the six yard box was nudged in. We nearly went ahead again when Denton blasted over, Phillips had a free kick saved and Mulhearn right at the end dragged a shot wide. They nearly took the lead with the last kick of the half when the full back leathered it from distance but just whistled past the post. None of the other 7 look like troubling the first team squad based on this 45mins so that leaves us with Erwin, Sloth, Murphy and Calvin Phillips. Sloth has been the pick of the bunch really, very busy , keeping the ball (in a game littered with poor passes and giving the other team the ball) Murphy has strolled around as if he owns the place without breaking sweat - couple of long diagonal balls were decent but he has barely moved from a circle round the centre spot. Erwin has held the ball up quite well and had one decent run but looks a fair way off being ready for the first team. With regards Phillips I was thinking after 25minutes that I don't really know what they see in him, then he did a lovely back heel, a great tackle and took a mean free kick so maybe he does have something about him ? So 1 each at half time - I fancy us to win but will be close . Jason Dozzell's son is in their team as well as Stewart Dave _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected]
