Reserves v Woolwich LIVE KICK OFF 7pm
By Since66
March 25 2008
The U18s did it on Friday 1-0 against Woolwich, the first team did it against Woolwich on Sunday 2-1 and tonight it is the turn of the reserves who take on Woolwich on their own manor, no not Woolwich, Barnet FCs Underhill Stadium over in NORF London!!! Some of the team who played in Chelsea's excellent youth win against Villa last week are rewarded with promotion to the reserves.
The reserves won their first game since September at 'troubled' Derby last week with a 2-0 win. 16yr old Jeffrey Bruma makes his debut in the middle of the defence alongside Football Icon winner Carl Magnay (who has been outstanding and IS JT in disguise). Adam Phillip who scored against Woolwich on Friday and scored in both legs against Aston Villa is on the bench, Daniel Philliskirk who was signed from Oldham Athletic last Summer and scored against Derby last week retains his place and plays alongside 'the potential sensation' Franco Di Santo. Woolwich' s team includes the Hoyte brothers, Djourou, Traore and is a strong team. When the two teams met at Griffin Park earlier in the season Woolwich won 1-0. Teams: Chelsea: Stuart Searle, Shaun Cummings, Jeffrey Bruma, Carl Magnay, Patrick Van Aanholt, Phil Younghusband, Sergio Tejera, Jimmy Smith (c), Fabio Ferreira, Franco Di Santo, Daniel Philliskirk subs: Niclas Heimann, Nana Ofori-Twumasi, Ricardo Fernandes, Michael Woods, Adam Phillip Woolwich: Vito Mannone, Gavin Hoyte, Justin Hoyte, Johan Djourou, Armand Traore, Rene Steer, Havard Nordvelt, Alexandre Song, James Dunne, Rui Fonte, Rhys Murphy Subs: James Shea, Luke Ayling, Abu Ogogo, Paul Rodgers, Jay Emmanuel- Thomas

Good to see some of our youth getting promoted into the reserves although our resreves are very young anyway.

Excellent free-kick routine have to say - ball was rolled 20 yards across Chelsea's area about 25 yards out and Song picked his spot
Chelsea since goinf 1-0 down have had two decent chances to equalise first from Philliskirk, good save from Vito and from 25 yards from Tejera, Vito saves down by his right

After a mistake by the Woolwich defence, Younghusband feeds Di Santo just inside the area and Di Santo's shot fizzes just high over the bar.

So, are we "kicking down" now then?
You would have thought a club like the Woolwich with their penchant for youth would have found better facilities.

A Woolwich attack breaks down and Shaun (my man of the match) breaks out and passes to Di Santo who takes the ball into the corner of the penalty area - he shoots low down past Mannone
Woolwich 1-1 Chelsea

Once Chelsea equalised they had the upper hand for 5 to 10 mins and then it has gone pot!!!
Shaun Cummings has been excellent, so has Carl Magnay (remember this geordie won Football Icon the 2nd series and he is in the mould of JT - except he hasn't dived using his hands yet!!!!! eheheheheh)
Di Santo has worked his socks off again - but has been booked for using his mouth too much, Latin American temperment to the fore I suppose)
5 mins to go

Look out for Carl Magnay
Look out for Shaum Cummings
Look out for Di Santo
Considering Carl Magnay was a Football Icon winner - this boy is quality and even Clive Walker who is no mug (hehehe) said the same!!
