Been to watch them tonight in the cup v Middlesbrough. We won 4-1.
Despite the emphatic scoreline I wasn't overly impressed to be honest. Boro were the better team first half then forgot how to defend second half. The scoreline flattered us.
Best player on the pitch was our number 4, central midfielder called Toby King. I thought we was superb and has a lot to his game. He played left of the two central midfielders in a 4-2-3-1 and he very much reminded me of Gareth Barry the way he plays. He;s intelligent, uses the ball really well, can ping it long or short, will play forward and he doesn't need a touch to execute a pass. He can tackle, works hard, works back well and always ready to receive the ball and looks a really good prospect.
The lad next to him Jamie Andrews has potential too. He's a tall lad, good passer of the ball and puts a shift in. He receives the ball really well his touch takes takes him into space and creates a yard.
Fin Thorndike tries to do too much constantly. Jovan Malcolm is a strong lad but he's not dominant in the air, he's not blisteringly quick, I expected a bit more from him. Should've scored when clean through, tried to lob the keeper, failed.
The lad on the right side of the three behind Malcolm scored two goals, Tom Fellows is his name, there's a bit of promise there.
Josh Griffiths is decent with his handling but his distribution is poor.
The rest of them weren't up to much. The two lads at centre back, dear me. Harry Williams and Caleb Taylor, they have massive improvement to make if either of them are going to make the grade.
Andrews and King the ones to keep an eye on, particularly King, very impressed with him.
