Match Review: Barnsley 2-3 Manchester United U21

We love a good United comeback at the death, and that's exactly what Jack Fletcher delivered - and in front of his dad!

United began their cup run in the EFL Trophy poorly, conceding to Barnsley striker Vimal Yoganathan after just 10 minutes and giving the young Welsh striker his first senior goal for the club.

A poor backpass from Harry Amass (the second in two games 👀) to a ball-watching Tyler Fredricson left United at the mercy of Kyran Lofthouse - who squared neatly to an unmarked Yoganathan. Manager Travis Binnion will be disappointed in the other centre back Louis Jackson too, who was several yards upfield and either not aware or not respecting the danger Barnsley's strikers presented.

Both sides kept the game going at a good pace; end to end football even despite the torrential rain that swept in midway through the half. Barnsley struck again though in the 37th minute; again through Yoganathan and again assisted by a Lofthouse cutback. Frustratingly for the manager, United had 7 in the box - plus the keeper - versus Barnsley's 3.

2,638 turned out to Oakwell for the evening game, including Martin Devaney - Barnsley assistant manager and United player Jacob Devaney's dad. In the stands were United's technical director Jason Wilcox, deputy football director Andy O'Boyle, interim director of recruitment Christopher Vivell, academy director Nick Cox, and ex-United star & Scotland international turned first team coach slash... some sort of first team/academy transition role? It's Darren "i've got twins smashing it for the academy" Fletcher.

Of course, it would take until late in the second half for the attacking twin - Jack - to show up and show off, subbed on in the 57th minute for Ruben Curley.

Barnsley flashed one across goal straight away in the second half, but following the introduction of Fletcher it was one-way traffic in United's favour; the attacking mid seeming to unlock Barnsley and unleash Ethans Wheatley and Ennis respectively.

Ennis finally got United on the scoreboard thanks to a lovely one-bounce low cross from James Nolan on the right wing, deep into the middle of the box and curled home into the mid left of the net.

Goal number two was a WORLDIE from Jack Fletcher. The socials blew up as three minutes later Harry Amass won an aerial ball, spun past the next man, and before he could touch it again Jack Fletcher hits a sumptuous volley top bins, upper left corner of the net, with Ben Killip at full stretch and unable to do anything.

Victory would come ANOTHER three minutes later with Jack Fletcher the man of the moment. A good throw-in from the right sideline found Fletcher in decent space, who then for some mad reason was left to drift across the box before hitting a cute left-foot finish back across his body, through the Barnsley defensive crowd, and in low at the keeper's near post before he could even see it. 3-2 United, comeback complete.

There was a little extra drama in the final moments, with Harry Amass going down after a challenge from Corey O'Keefe - RCM for Barnsley. The match camera didn't show the incident but Amass gestured that he'd been elbowed in the head, and moments later the referee sent O'Keefe off - seconds before the end of the game.

A disappointing end for the young Barnsley side, but a good comeback for United's youth in a tricky away game off the back of a rough defeat to Arsenal.

The next cup tie is another away trip in late September, to Doncaster Rovers, but for now the lads prepare for a home game in the league against Stoke City at 7pm on Friday.

Dear Mr Sandman....

(A cold December evening, in a small cozy flat above the New Inn, London.)

Hob: So... My Saturday girl, Rachel. She volunteers at the local library, helps with afterschool sessions. I... may have suggested an activity for the kids. You, Mr Sandman have mail!

Dream:.... Mail?

Hob: (Hands over a neat stack of letters and a small accompanying box). Yup! These are for you!

(Dream carefully unfolds the top letter and begins to read...)

Dear Mr Sandman

Thank you very much for all my dreams this year. My favorite was the one with the bubble rhinoceros. I have drawn a picture of him for you. I hope you like it. Mummy says if I draw anymore of my dreams she'll leave them on the kitchen table for you to collect. Sorry if our dog Charlie barks at you when you come, he likes to bark at strangers but is really friendly. You can find his ball in the top draw. He'd love to play with you. I've told him to be a good boy and you'll give him nice dreams.

Love from

Rosalie Mitchell and Charlie the dog

Dear Mr Sandman

Thank you for all your hard work this year. You must be really busy giving everyone dreams. Do you know Santa and the Tooth Fairy? We always leave Santa milk and cookies and the Tooth fairy teeth to say thank you. I didn't know what you liked so I gave Miss Feean a tub of my favorite magic sand. It's rainbow coloured so should make really good dreams. If you like it, tell Miss Feean and I'll ask Daddy to get some more for you.

Alex Southerns

Dear Mr Sandman

Thank you for letting me still see Grandma when I'm sleeping. I miss her alot. She looks very happy so I know you and the angels are taking good care of her. Tell her Amy says to give you a big hug from me. She gives the best hugs.

Thank you

Amy Haywood

Dear Mr Sandman

Thank you for my dreams. Except the one about the angry dinosaur, I don't like that one. Can you tell him to leave me alone as he is very mean and makes me upset. Are nightmares very naughty dreams? We have red and yellow cards at school. If you're a bit naughty, you get a yellow card and if you're very very naughty you get a red one. You should do that. And give gold stars to all the dreams that are really good. Tell the dinosaur I'll give him my gold star I got for my spelling test if he is good.

Big hugs

Louise Winters.

Dear Mr Sandman

Thank you for looking after me this year. I'm sad a lot, Henry Oakwell in year 6 is really mean to me. And I find school really hard. I'm not good at my school work and don't have a lot of friends. Mummy has to work a lot and I don't want her to worry about me. But you always give me really nice dreams that make me feel really happy. Being the Sandman sounds lonely, are you lonely? My Teddy really helps me when I'm lonely. I can't give you my Teddy but I've made you one out of playdough. Its ear feel off but Miss Feean says she'll put it back on with some glue. I hope he's really nice to you and is a good friend like my Teddy.

From

Tommy Brien

Dream: I don't understand?

Hob: Well, if Santa gets all that praise for one night of wish fulfillment, I reckoned you deserved a little acknowledgement for doing it since the dawn of time.

Dream....May I keep these?

Hob: They've got your name on them Duck. And I'm sure there's more where that came from.

Dream: I.... (Subtly tries to wipe a tear aside) Thank you.

Hob: (Smiles softly) Don't even mention it darling.
