Owling_Wolf Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 A bit of a strange question to start with but, seeing as the BBC local weather forecast for York tomorrow is lightning from 12pm through 9pm, do we think the game will safely go ahead?  Said to a mate earlier, I can't remember an electric storm during a game before, which seems unlikely when we've been going to games for over 50 years. Are they likely to play in such conditions - especially a friendly - assuming that the forecast is correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vialli Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 My lad was mascot 6/7 years ago. The 3-2 win game against Bistol titty. There was a massive thunder storm just before kick off, was a doubt game would go ahead, not because of the lightening though. Very same night man titty postponed there champions league game for 24hrs just before kick off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skamp Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 T'was the corner of the Kop/ South that was flooded and needed squeezying off. I'd literally just flown back from Mallorca and went straight to game. Wondered why at 0-2 😆  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Well you can tell straight away manager is a possession based coach. Nice ground if a bit odd walking in through the leisure centre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owling_Wolf Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Defence very different this half. Nearly 2-1 to them just then. Shot across goal just wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 The game reminded me of Carlos 1st game in charge. Lots of possession, zero effort on goal. Reckon Smith redundant in this style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owling_Wolf Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Our best player 2nd half was the little right winger. Was that Fusire, anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Didn’t see it today was travelling. Did he switch things around or did he look to be playing a 433? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owling_Wolf Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Anyone that can identify the other 3 wide players in the 2nd half, pls? On the right was a young chap who I kept mixing up with Fusire. Not only were they very similar in size and looks at that distance, (far side), but the rotters kept switching and overlapping, just to baffle me even more.  On the near side was a young white full back, (wearing 5?), and a third smallish black winger, this one quite quick and direct. Whilst the keepers had little to do, (both goals were tap-ins into empty nets), I was impressed by our young 'un, Charles, at the very end. When a forward looked like getting clean through he came out very quickly and committed himself totally at their lad's feet. He pouched the ball and their lad copped the worst off it, just as the final whistle went. First time I've seen him in the flesh and I found his commitment impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing 4 in defence: James n Brennan at full backs. Wasn't sure about the rest but at times it looked like 3 up front.  They brought a forward on at h.t. that was very effective. Quick & direct down their left wing, beating players in the box and basically creating chaos. Caused their goal and almost one or two others. Just the kind of attacker we need. 😉  This also saw Brennan subbed.  Edited July 8 by Owling_Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 @Owling_Wolf The white defender will have been Flannery. The full back who looked like Fusire is Phuthi. The other winger is a lad called Favour Onukwuli. We picked him up from the Volente Football Academy in London last January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owling_Wolf Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Thanks. I've heard of all but Flannery. I decided today to get off my rear end and go and see the 'Reserves' for the first time in ages. I used to enjoy going up to Stocksbridge. Dunno if they still use that partnership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
