According to Flashscore Lowton got the 1st.

Definitely Costelloe, both clubs reporting it as such.

26 year old Liam Kelly scoring their goal.

Cov 0-1 Burnley
Costelloe on 5 mins. "Outrageous" goal, apparently.

Follow up description doesn't sound that outrageous, sounds like a THB-to-Tella type goal. Inch perfect pass over the top from Lowton, Costelloe took it down expertly then dinked it over the keeper.

Is the game being shown?

Doesn't look like Cov stream U21 games but they do seem to put highlights up on YouTube.

Not being on the bench suggests to me Roberts was injured.

Mattster

not in the Grimsby squad this weekend, I hope he's not injured again. Out with a groin injury, was taken off against Salford with what they thought was cramp but was unable to train the following week. Grimsby manager doesn't think it's serious but couldn't say whether he'd be back this weekend.

They've had a website since at least a week (possibly even two) before the sponsorship deal was announced. A quick check shows their website was published on the same day the club announced them as sponsor - 4th August. It didn't show on searches on the day (the similarly titled EMA Partners site (...

Mattster

At least they actually have a website now.

Another U21s game with a few of the first team squad getting minutes. Looks like Egan-Riley at right back.

Were they lucky against us? In that 2nd half they could have scored 3 or 4 times on the counter but their final ball was shocking.

xG from that game was Burnley 2.74 vs 0.78 Hull which is the biggest margin we've had in our favour all season.

They were lucky.

Mattster

Finished 0-0

Mattster

Trialist on for Hugill on 84 mins

Mattster

Subs on 64 mins

Joe Westley (U18) and Seb Thompson on for Brad Grant (U18) and Michael Mellon

0-0 at half time. Young Burnley side, Bauress and Brad Grant starting from the U18s, 3 others on the bench. Two trialists in the squad too.

Waller, Healy-Byrne, Trialist, Ward, Dodgson, Lewis, Bauress, Helm (C), Hugill, Grant, Mellon

Similar route that we took watching England in the Euro 2016, think we even visited the cafe in Lille

Which players would he have watched

Looking at the games this was filmed back at the start of May so he was most likely scouting targets for the Premier League, given the teams involved.

PL Cup game

Lineup isn't particularly U21.

Franchi, Lowton, Long, McNally, Egan-Riley, Dodgson, Tucker, Bauress, Helm, Lewis, Mellon

On twitter a stream was mentioned from Arsenal, haven't found a link yet though.

Have we actually replaced Billy Mercer?

Yeah, Kompany brought Jelle ten Rouwelaar with him from Anderlecht

Mattster

I've said right from the first game that playing a more orthodox RIght midfield in front of Roberts has dragged the team marginally to the right and leaves the left more exposed. It also means we are heavily reliant on Jay Rod because the 4-2-2-2 becomes a 4-2-3-1. And poor old Maatsen is left comp...

Mattster

Will be managing Joe McGlynn, hope he likes the look of him and gives him starts.

Mattster

Dara Costelloe has been called up to the ROI U21s.

Mattster

You have it. Apart from the odd dart forward straight into the pen area, he is the 3rd centre back- like Walker for Man City and England. This negates his usual wingback play. I also see we have stopped using his long throw too. I don't think he likes the role as much as his usual one. I would also...

Mattster

Had a great game yesterday and won 4/4 aerial duels to boot. He's got natural footballing ability and is very intelligent defender, the physical side is easier to develop than both of those skillsets so there's no reason why he can't develop to be a regular England International (possibly not starti...

Update to this. The row second from the back in Block 3 was entirely covered (back row has been covered all season), much to the surprise of season ticket holders on that row. No stewards about explaining it to those fans as they arrived they just found gaps in the rows in front. Ones I spoke to had...

Mattster

In terms of where he’d play, he’d have come on last night either for Brownhill or Cullen (with JB moving back). Just said on another thread but teams that sit back like PNE did are exactly where I’m expecting him to make a difference, sometimes you need a quality long shot / moment of magic. Could ...

Most rational posters have identified that we have failed to sign a dominant centre half and a poacher type striker. This deficiency shows in our vulnerability at corners and set pieces, plus our inability to convert chances. I think Vince has too many choices and towards the end of October we will...

Mattster

There is a clear 4 point gap at the top after 9 games. They are running away with it. If they continue like that for the season they will have a 20 point gap on 2nd place. 1. "If" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. 2. After tonight, when everyone is on 9 games, the gap could quite easily 1 point...

We'll still be behind them on GD

Do you understand how GD works?

Mattster

I can't believe that something that has been implemented for 5 years+ and shown no functional improvement whilst damaging the enjoyment of the game as a whole is something that all the authorities are still blindly plowing on with. If it continues to be an overall negative addition and shows no impr...

Paid bank holiday for me and my wife (we work in Further & Higher Education), which is good since I'll have to pay the childcare despite my son's nursery being shut as they have us on the hook for bank holidays in their terms & conditions.

If we're likening this to everyday employment then you wouldn't expect someone of Pace's level to be giving the "thanks for your service" call/letter/whatever. I've worked on fixed term contracts at a University for years now, if I rejected the contract extensions I've been offered I certainly would...

this game was shown live on Sheffield Wednesday's youtube channel (apparently)

It wasn't, I checked during the game. It would also still be up, like their last one is, if it had been on.

4-1 Costelloe

Apparently a great goal where he flicked it over a defenders head twice on route to scoring.

Mattster

4-1 Costelloe

Mattster

2-1 up at half time having gone behind after 5 mins.

Mellon with the equaliser on his return from injury and Tucker with the second.

Mellon off for Westley after 64 mins, who has just put us 3-1 up on 77 mins.

Any stream for this ta?

Doesn't look like Sheffield Wednesday stream games from this ground, their last U21s game was at Hillsborough and they streamed that but no indication this one will be

Mattster

No Helm in midfield, would imagine injury rather than first team call up.

Wonder who would be captain in his absence? Dodgson? Ward? Waller?

Mattster

Mellon returns

Waller, Healy-Byrne, Sassi, Ward, Dodgson, Lewis, Hugill, Bauress, Tucker, Mellon, Costelloe

Subs: Moss, Armstrong, Deane, Westley, Ratchford

What I find odd about Eric is he was not allowed to come back and train. It was not that long ago David Jones was allowed to do it David Jones had left, with the club's blessing, for a fee and then later returned to train under the same manager he'd been signed by/played under. He hadn't rejected a...

Always find it a bit weird that some people seem to hate footballers and be happy that something bad has happened to them. The club has clearly been unusually callous in how it has dealt with players leaving at the end of their contract, or else players with lots of experience of leaving football c...

But usually he’ll expect know if he’ll on the retained list and not learning it at the same time as the public do. I think it’s poor form, even if you leave a business in a normal job, usually you get at least a thankyou from somebody. It seems at Burnley, when you’re done, you’re done. This is how...

Something I'd love to know: The overlap between those demanding a (subjectively) attractive playing style because of how a less attractive style looks or is perceived by others, and those excusing/defending an absence of basic decency and courtesy/respect towards a good serving player who, while he...

Most disappointing thing from that article is that we offered him a new deal at all.

Doesn't have any place in this team. Would have been a totally wasted wage.

Was what was being reported at the time, that's all I said. Those articles are still there if you want to check, you've clearly got a lot of time on your hands ;) And yet, for your crowing over this now, he has not moved this summer for 12m, has he?
