    Fast becoming an automatic pick and I'd guess one of the first names on the sheet. Steadily becoming a 7-8 out of 10 performer on a very regular basis. Nothing fancy, just gets on with it. Hope he can develop the attacking side of his play to complement his steady, solid defensive performances.

    MOTM today for me.

    He has lots of promise but being in a struggling side will stunt his development if we don't improve soon.

    Defensively sound but for gods sake please stop stopping with the ball at the half way line and go forward, you have ability, show it!

    Agree, in the utter dirge that's been this season he's been the one consistent performer for me. Nothing fancy but has cut down on errors and looks to be maturing into a solid player. Which in our current predicament is all the more commendable.

    The guys who sit in front of us said pretty much the same on the way out. I couldn't think of a positive from our display, but there was one, it was George Smith.

    Have you thought that it's Johnson who is stopping him going over him going over the half way line,I thing George is going to become a top player.

    I agree that he is improving and had some decent games of late. Still a long way to go though. People slated Tom Keneday for not getting forward enough and crossing from the middle third. Also a lot of crosses come in from Georges side that should be stopped or closed down before they come in. He is young and these are points with the right coaching ( I have seen LJ working with him) can only get better.
