3-0 at full time and we faded badly towards the end.
I'll try and do some player verdicts:
Flatt: Looked far too hesitant off his line whenever tested aerially, a couple of very unconvincing flaps as well. Didn't really have any chance with the goals. One smart stop in the first half. Kicked ok.
Iorfa: Probably our best player on the night. Got forward well and did his defensive work well to the point where his opponent (Parreira?) got hooked on the hour. Looks promising. I might be getting him mixed up with someone else but I thought he played in central midfield for the U18s? Whatever, he did well tonight.
Tank: Bog standard lump of a centre half really. Hard to see him ever making it here. Got made to look a right mug by Wilson for the second.
Hause: Early days, might be coming back from an injury, but this was not impressive at all. Clumsy and indecisive, and badly at fault for the third. Based on that showing, if our first team centre halves went down with the Ebola virus I'd rather play Elokobi. Nowhere near ready.
Cranston: Had a decent battle with United's right winger. Got booked and was beaten a couple of times but gave it everything and kept going until the end.
Whittall: Bit of a nothing player really. Can't see him making it here.
Kostrna: Ditto.
O'Hara: As I say, I don't think he has the intelligence to adapt his game. He's had enough time to realise now that his body only allows him to do certain things but it doesn't seem to sink in. That leaves you with a mix of disappearing for long periods, giving away possession quite a lot and almost never being high enough up the pitch to influence the game. Chuck in his trademark lack of defensive ability and seriously, I can't see anyone taking him on, not in this country anyway. He wouldn't have any impact at any club playing like this. Dead balls were shit as well.
Parry: Started very brightly, cutting inside a lot from the left and a few dangerous runs at the defence, really should have had at least an indirect free kick right on the edge of the box very early on. Faded a bit as United got hold of the game and eventually subbed. Plenty to work with there though.
Forde: Really cannot see how he managed to be getting Premier League gametime three years ago and how he's managed to get a contract running through to 2015. Has pretty much no attributes beyond being able to control a ball and pass it simply to an adequate degree. No pace, no strength, no guile, no delivery, no goal threat. And no chance of having any first team impact.
Reid: Short on service but looked lightweight whenever faced with a bit of physical presence. Tough to judge a forward on that kind of game but he struggled. Like Hause, absolutely miles away from being ready for the first team.
Kellerman, Torras and Erdei came on and hardly touched the ball.
Wilson looks a fantastic prospect, strong, three quality finishes, occupied the back four all game.
