Cheers mate, couldn't find one myself. I'll carry on watching the Saints game with text running in the background.

Our live feed on here seems to have stopped

I got a perfect stream on my PC last match. Hopefully the same again tomorrow.

Never mind the 1-3 in the EDS.

U15's beat United 5-1 tonight, I hear.
Can anyone confirm that.

I expect Rio will give them s right rollicking.

Hard to be at all positive after watching that defeat to Derby. It seemed to start ok and for a while I thought we would walk it. Buckley Rickets, Nemane and Fernandez were getting runs on their defence at will and it was just a mayyer of time before we scored and would go on to win. It duly came with Hardy's goal which was very well taken.

Hardy was on as sub for Sarmiento the left back who got what seemed a bad injury. Not sure what happened but we didn't have a defender of any kind so went 3 at the back and as Hardy is really a striker it was a reshuffle up top. It definitely affected us and derby did find a way through a few times but we were still getting chances and should have scored at least one more.

Second half was just different. Derby were quicker to press and quite strong doing it. We seemed to need a little time which wasnt there so lost the ball consistently. Virtually everything we tried failed and although Derby weren't that good they basically dominated us all second half and once they got ahead it was 10 behind the ball and we never looked like scoring.

Even though Isaac and Fernandez could get past defenders with pure speed it just never happened. 3 at the back looked shaky and we just looked lethargic. Cameron Humphreys was nowwhere near his best, Charlie Oliver did ok, Colin Rosler at right back ok but the 2 supposedely running the game for us in central midfield were just not at it. Will Patching and Rodney Kongolo.

My biggest negative though on the night was Simon Davies as manager. The "crowd" was closewr to the dug out than usual and got a bit more of a feel for his involvement,shouting, motivation etc. I just cannot imagine the team being motivated at all by him.

He regularly shouted at Patching to "play it forward".The response was arms outstretched saying there isn't a pass on and looking a bit unimpressed. Davies shouted to Humphreys asking if he was ok. Cameron looked confused and said he was fine so Davies shouted " well why don't you put a tackle in then" or something like that. Real motivational stuff!

I don't think we have taken this competition that seriously and to me the lads were not fully up for this tonight.

Davies out would be my lasting thought

Anyone watching on Facebook?

[iwasthere2012]

I have no sound so am guessing at some of the players.
City got of to a slow and somewhat messy start but are quickly getting up to speed.

Foden after putting City 1-0 up with a welltaken shot into the bottom right corner.

Good work between himself and Sancho.

Foden the stand out performance so far.

[mr_nool]

It's like handball, except with only one team attacking.

No. 6 is a beast.

[iwasthere2012]

Foden to Diaz. Skin the full back. Picks out Sancho.
Bang. 2-0.

[mr_nool]

Wow, that was a great goal.

I think that's Diallo.

Yeah, I'm really enjoying it. Can definitely see a few of them making the first team.

[nottsblue]

Imagine in 6 years. This could be us slaying the dippers in the PL!

[iwasthere2012]

Pep watching from the board room too.

[iwasthere2012]

Couple of really good chances already for a fourth.
Nmecha should have scored after being picked out by Sancho.
Then Dele Bashiru nearly finishing off a stunning move.

This is fine football.
