Holgate and Smith The 2 players who actually looked up for it today. I'm always a bit pessimistic when it comes to throwing young players in but they were head and shoulders our best players today.
agreed. considering how gash the rest of the team were in front of defence, i thought they were great. holgate in particular, growing with every performance.
Holgate was fab, Smith was ok. Oates looked up for it when he came on, although he didn't get much time of course.
Normally with young lads, their level of performance tends to diminish as a game progresses due to their level of fitness. However, I felt Smith started well and was getting better towards the end of the match. His tackling and distribution was sharper than some of his more experienced team mates.
Agree. He looked a bit nervous to start with but by the end of the game he was trying the long balls or putting balls in
I agree that Nyatanga and Ramage were good too, I just thought the 2 young lads were brilliant to say they've only a handful of appearances between them
Yes they both had good games two promising lads ramage n nytanga were good too. Positive for me was also the crowd got behined em second half the lads in the top of ponty were giving it some when thwy went down to ten but failed to deliver
all back 4 played well shame that Hemmings, Lita, Digby & Hourihane were useless & Jennings cleared the East Stand of pies at half time... thought Berry put a shift in, if his passing was woeful also
