Two games since our last newsletter and, disappointingly, predictably two defeats. There’s no shame in losing away to Chelsea, albeit City perhaps made things a little too easy for the hosts. However, City were not at their best on Tuesday night and were deservedly beaten 3-1 by Middlesbrough with the all too familiar defensive mistakes on show.
This Friday night Sheffield United come to the KCOM for a Yorkshire derby. The Blades thumped City 4-1 earlier in the season so hopefully there will be a desire for revenge among the players and a personal motivation from the manager against his former employers.
Here’s your update from the Trust this week…

Development Review
The under 23 played out what appears to have been a fairly dull 0-0 draw at Sheffield Wednesday on Monday afternoon. More importantly in the short term for the club was that Abel Hernández came through a 55 minute run out unscathed as part of his injury recovery process

They next take on Sunderland at Eppleton Colliery this Friday evening and then on Monday evening entertain Barnsley at North Ferriby. Both of these matches are 19:00 kick offs.
Last Saturday the under 18 side travelled to Huddersfield and came away with an impressive 1-6 victory. Ahmed Salam scored a hat-trick and Keane Lewis-Potter, Jacob Greaves and Mason Wilson-Rhiney all chipped in with a goal apiece. Their next game is next Wednesday when they travel to Nottingham Forest’s football academy for a 12:00 kick off.
