    I thought he looked like he could be a very useful addition to the squad. Surprised how fit he was considering he hasn't got a club at the moment.

    Hard to judge given the nature of the game and quality on display. Certainly worth a closer look.

    Jury still out. Need to see more. Cracking finish however and seemed to have some fight in him. Thought his performance improved as the game went on. Worked hard.

    Looked well off it. But showed pace, and a great finish.

    Nowt ed stick in the first 25 mins then his goal came, bet the defender for pace and lobed the keeper, not an easy chance. Win you games players like that.

    Difficult game to judge him on but I thought he did ok. Wonderful finish too. If he's showing it in training I can see him signing.

    He's capable of scoring stunning goals - see the video link below. I think he would complement the options we have and fit into the style we are trying to implement. Still we need to add pace and guile, as Johnson alluded to in his post match press conference.

    1 in 4 for Fleetwood isn't bad. Makes him around a 9 goals a season guy. People can't really say he's **** or worth signing based on abit of a training style testimonial friendly against a non league team.

    Don't know anything about him before today but I thought he did pretty well, looked skilful on the ball and linked very well, not counting the goal, I'd picked him out as one of our best performers.

    Non-league? They're in the division below us.

    I liked him. Much better than Wilkinson who was beyond bad.

    Agree. Wilkinson was absolute dire. And not of the Bruce variety...
