We're just missing Hail and Storm!

1 up on 4 mins. Mumbongo.

Wonder if they have made their mind up on Mols and moved on

You are limited as to how many trial games a player can play

Leisure · Post by **Leisure** » Fri Mar 12, 2021 1:48 pm

If you're not watching this you're not missing a lot, as the stream is very poor. Even worse than Clarets+! The Villa commentators are being very complimentary about Mumbongo.

Leisure · Post by **Leisure** » Fri Mar 12, 2021 1:49 pm

1 - 1 on 16 mins. Armstrong og.

I knew there was some ruling but thought it was more than a couple of games

I’ve no idea how many, just thought the rule was in there.

Losing 2 - 1 on 23 mins.

Ignore that, still 1 - 1. Offside.

Leisure · Post by **Leisure** » Fri Mar 12, 2021 2:16 pm

Fairly even game in very windy conditions.

Leisure · Post by **Leisure** » Fri Mar 12, 2021 2:20 pm

1 - 1 at HT. Richardson booked on 45 mins.

Leisure · Post by **Leisure** » Fri Mar 12, 2021 2:38 pm

The og was Glennon and not Armstrong. Apparently they were wearing each others shirts! Mumbongo off at HT and Taranis on.

claretonthecoast1882 · Post by **claretonthecoast1882** » Fri Mar 12, 2021 2:52 pm

1-2 Glennon

Leisure · Post by **Leisure** » Fri Mar 12, 2021 2:52 pm

We're well on top this half and just gone 2 - 1 up.

Leisure · Post by **Leisure** » Fri Mar 12, 2021 3:05 pm

Harker off and Unwin on on 74 mins.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Fri Mar 12, 2021 3:23 pm

Stoppage time equaliser for Villa

claretonthecoast1882 · Post by **claretonthecoast1882** » Fri Mar 12, 2021 3:25 pm

2-3 94th minute Thompson

claretonthecoast1882 · Post by **claretonthecoast1882** » Fri Mar 12, 2021 3:27 pm

Good win

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Fri Mar 12, 2021 3:28 pm

95th minute penalty wins it

Cracking win for our Under 23`s

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Fri Mar 12, 2021 3:48 pm

Wasn't confident today when I saw the line up with no central defenders, one central midfielder a load of full backs and strikers - but what a good result.

Great win!
Thanks for the updates folks.
Always appreciated.

Looking at the table and the remaining fixtures, it is not beyond the realms of fantasy that Burnley could finish as runners-up to Leeds, although Stoke look the more likely to do that on current form and with games in hand.

However if that was the case, would Burnley be promoted to the Top Division?

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Fri Mar 12, 2021 4:18 pm

Fantastic result
They're are doing themselves proud considering how new they are to this level.

Another great victory for our under 23's, and clinched with a last minute penalty to boot.

Given some of the fears that our youngsters would struggle at this level, they haven't half confounded expectations haven't they.

And along with the under 18's the future is promising for our developing players at long last.

Cracking start to the weekend, let's hope it continues in this vein.

I'm guessing Rooney is injured.
Good to see Rob Harker back, I like what I've seen of him (admittedly not a whole lot), and also Jordan Cropper.

Great result too.

The 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th placed teams go into play-offs for the 2nd promotion slot.

Hadn’t realised that - thought it was just Leeds that got promoted. Here’s hoping we can finish strongly.

Bans are same as first team bans I think so it looks as though Rooney got a three match ban. Nartey was sent off for denying a goalscoring opportunity so that will be a one match ban.
