Yeah, I can imagine he got a lot of banter in the changing room and training for that! He was gutted, but hey, he got up there-he really is a threat bombing on, and links superbly with King (who I think does wonders for his game) and McSheffrey, with Aron joining in. They weave some pretty triangles on that right wing when all fit. McSheffreys goal against Watford was all about us passing them dizzy before switching it to Bell on the other side. The way he talks about Keogh as an attacking RB: "Thats what I used to do-and I'm starting to get back to that now, I know I can do it, my confidence is coming back with this manager and I feel my fitness getting better every game."
V. encouraging. And prompts that age old question-just how much does not having a reserve team hurt us? Even a naturally fit young player like Clarke takes 5-6 games to reach 100% match fitness. It took Bell longer, and Baker always suffers from it when he comes in.
