I have to say this lad impressed me a lot yesterday.
He is comfortable receiving the ball in tight areas, takes the ball on the half turn well, moves intelligently to find space and tries to play progressive passes. One example was an exquisite through ball to Godden who should have scored the chance created for him.
The areas he needs to improve are his physicality and strength. I’m sure there are other current weaknesses to his game that the coaching staff will have pin pointed.
There is certainly a lot to work with though and he could be knocking on the AM door as a squad option by the second half of the season if he keeps improving and performing for the U23s.
