Guisely 1 - 4 Everton U23s

Everton U23s saw another hat-trick from Lewis Dobbin secure a win in their second pre-season friendly, this one against Guiseley at Nethermoor Park on Saturday afternoon.

Everton were 4-1 winners, with all the goals being scored in the first half, Tom Cannon also getting on the scoresheet.

Guiseley got a goal back in the first half from a set-piece, but Unsworth's side saw the game out with no further scoring in the second half.

In the second half, Elijah Campbell and Isaac Price made way for Isaac Heath and the Number 17 [Who does not seem to have a name on the team sheet].

Everton U23s: Barrett, McAllister, Campbell (Heath), Astley, Welch, Butterfield, Mills, Dobbin, Cannon, Price (#17?), Hughes. Subs not Used: Leban, Kristensen, Hagan, Higgins.

Flying start by Dobbin. Could this be his breakout season after injury hit 2020-21?

Isaac Heath is a first year Scholar as from 1st July, he is a small, energetic midfielder so I would expect him to have taken up Price's position in midfield with the mysterious 17 going to left back / left centre back to replace Eli Campbell. With our communications it could be anybody, possibly Joe Anderson, left sided full back/ centre back, but who would know.

Nice to see Dobbin off to a cracking start, and an interesting selection in Heath as sub when so young, somebody obviously thinks highly of him, so well done on that.

Edit to my # 2:

Looking at the highlights of the Blackburn match, Joe Anderson came on for the first team in the 2nd half at the same time, wearing the No 7 shirt and playing left-back. Somehow I don't think he's the new Richarlison.

The No 17 for the U23s remains a mystery for now.

Could it be Jack Tierney?

My first guess would have been Hagen but I see he is an unused sub.

Peter, yeah could be Tierney, a centre-back, as it's hard to tell if we played a back three there. There are also three new Scholars listed as defenders who I know nothing about, so it could be one of them. Hopefully, we'll get team sheets when the season starts.
