The game was played at Coventry’s Ricoh Arena and a reasonable crowd of 20,000+ turned out to watch the action and saw the youngsters throw away the lead twice before turning the screw on their Macedonian counterparts. Theo Walcott went off with a dead leg and will be a doubt for the full squad for the game against Belarus.
There were a number of good performances in a pulsating affair but some questionable defending which will have left Pearce seething. But of course the main focus for us in the game was young Andy C and he didn’t disappoint with a brace in the second half.
I’ve probably been quite critical of Andy Carroll in terms of his ultimate potential but he’s been getting on with the jpb of trying to find the net and he’s been relatively successful and these two goals will do wonders for his confidence and after dropping him from the first eleven, Chris Hughton will have been given for food for thought. Here’s a match report from The Daily Mail.

Fantastic game to watch, football as it should be played, two players looked head and shoulders above the rest, Jack Wilshire and Andy Carrol.
Carrol has the look of another Duncan Ferguson with his combination of power and good touch, i thought his chipped pass for the last goal was as good as anything else he did in the game.
We have to be taken over as Ashley wont resist a good offer for Andy and it will be a shame if his best years are at another club.
