Our U18s routed Scunthorpe 4-1. Goals from Tommy Smyth 8', Lokman Kaymaz 60', Bradley Robinson 73' and Chris Ferguson 78' were more than enough. Travis Mutero will miss 5-6 weeks with a twisted ankle.

Blyth (6-8-16, 22nd) vs York (12-6-11, 11th)

We stole a point against a promotion candidate, could we steal three against a mid-table side? Time is getting a bit short, 15 matches remain after this one. We're 9:2 dogs at home, in a light snow.

GK: Knight
D: Kulsten, Jones, Purvis, Rowbotham
MF: Matondo, Morrison, Vipond, O'Connor
ST: Mole, Bembo-Leyta
Bench: (Antwi, Phillips, Lobjoit, Groves, McDonald)

Halftime: York 1 - Blyth 0
McLaughlin scores in traffic off a corner at 35'

Outshot 6-2 with only 45% of poss. Assistants are furious, so I tell the team I'm far from pleased, most seem motivated by it.

Fulltime: York 1 - Blyth 0
Bembo-Leyta creates a chance but misses wide at 60'
Matondo crosses to Mole in the box ... denied at 66'
Purvis just misses a header from a Phillips corner at 83'
Mole misses on a cross from Bembo-Leyta at 86'
Switch to Overload at 88'
3 mins added

We had the effort, just not the result.

Kulsten 6.1, Jones 7.1, Purvis 6.9, Rowbotham 6.8
Matondo 6.7, Morrison 6.6, Vipond 6.6, O'Connor 6.8
Mole 6.5, Bembo-Leyta 6.7
Subs: Groves (65' for Vipond) 6.8, Phillips (74' for Kulsten) 6.9

Still 22nd, still 4 points from safety although matches played are now even

Lee Peacock wants to be taken off the transfer list. Since the window is closed, I agree. Halfwit.
