Wormleighton can play anywhere

 

Playing left centre back at the moment 

[Shane]

Appiah is a tank

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Braybrooke is so good.

[moore_94]

Will Alves off for Oli Ewing on

 

Thought he had a pretty quiet game tonight

Will be a scandal if he doesn't get a loan to League One this summer

Terrible defensive set up. Guy totally unmarked.

Literally everyone stepped up as the shot came in, not even sure why they would do that

[lanefox]

Much like the senoir squad both goals were easily avoidable, other than that we’ve been the better team

[moore_94]

Fitzhugh and Maswanhise come off and the 2 Pennants come on

[moore_94]

Full time 2-2

 

Braybrooke our best player, ran the game

 

I thought Appiah looked decent as well

[Foxxed]

Braybrooke needs to be tested at a level above this. He’s a different class.

[Lesta2014]

Thought mcateer looked okay and more physical than I remember him being last season! 

[katieakita]

Ref had a mare, very quick to give spuds anything

[Webbo]

I think that Braybrooke is being kept back here for cover, in case we don't sign anyone. If we do sign someone, he might get his loan,I reckon he'll have some involvement with the first team this season.

[Webbo]

That Appiah looks a useful acquisition too. Big lad with a decent touch.

Agreed

[TommyK]

Hes a mountain that guy! Also looks like he can pass through. 

[moore_94]

Can see Brunt being a deadline day loan if this is his first proper game time for 3 months

 

4 games until then

New year, same playing no striker in the U23's.

 

Popov was superb when they put him in the U23's at the end of last season, really don't get what they're up to. We've Popov, Richards, Pennant all strikers and none of them are starting for the U23's.

 

 

...Popov my tip to go far, watched him in the Next Generation games, and he is playing way below his level!!!

If we continue to use him in the U18s he could lose all his zest for the game, his body language was not as it should be and we could lose him. He needs to be pushed, he is a sink or swim player, and at the moment we are letting him drown in the U18s

Joe Wormleighton has come on for Lewis Brunt

...love his attitude on the pitch, such a throwback player, he looks better on the right, and supports the attack well!!!

....his ability not to panic with the ball at his feet, even when closed down is a big part of his game!!!

Good to see a CB coming through with his confidence but you just wonder if he could play a progressive DM role. Can pick a pass, can beat a man, and looks to progress the play. Watched him in pre-season and thought he was excellent, I am sure now he will break through to the first team.

...he is better than that Ric!!!

He seems to be more robust, probably gym work as he seems more solid and looks a bit taller, we need to ask more from him, he is more than likely asking the same of himself.

He is Championship level but I don't think he'll get that this summer aged 18 I'm afraid.
