    Sorry to post it a little late but I'd just like to make a few points...

    Scott Hogan was excellent, ran at every man and caused Crewe problems all night long. Would be worth a 1 year deal I'm sure, reminded me a lot of Adam Hammill...cuts in from the right, takes the defender on and drills a shot at goal.

    Sonko was steady, didn't put a foot wrong but didn't do anything eye catching...the perfect centre half some might say, cleared the ball swell rather than trying to take a man on before trying to make the perfect pass which at times faulted us last season.

    Reuben well, that's easy...he's not a left back and never will be.

    Alnwick was steady and commanded his area very well and is very vocal, KH has found a very good keeper to rival Luke Steele...pulled off a wonder save in the second half.

    Other than that the young lads played well, nice pieces of passing play but I'll say it again before a few on here jump down my throat...the result means nothing, onwards and upwards! See you all at Rochdale! :eek:

    Thanks for that. Given what you have said about Sonko I can't see us signing him then...

    Thanks mate, let's hope there is some good news about signings very soon. There was a post last night about RNL playing at left back; I think most knew he wasn't a left back and questioned the wisdom of playing him there.

    Hopefully mate! Think it's fairly obvious we need a striker as a matter of urgency for the game at rochdale...I'm a Davies fan, but I believe he's at his best with a strike partner, rather than 5 midfielders s,assign a hopeful ball over his head. RNL showed some good touches when going forward, overlapped very well and looked dangerous...I'm not having a say on his defending, because he's not a defender and to be fair it's arguably the strangest position I could think of throwing in a 5"8 winger come striker? Still think he can be a big player for us, just in the right position!

    Ah some positively. Heard Sonko lucky to not give away a pen when red judged to be outside box but all in all that report makes me feel better!

    My god don't say that. You'll give some on here a heart attack with your positivity about a player that hasn't played 250+ games in the Premier League.

    I did think that myself when I first posted this! Let's give the lad a go, sure leeds fans had doubts over signing Jermaine Beckford from maidenhead...he didn't do too badly did he?

    He can't want all that much cash. He's surely worth a punt on very little a week for at least 6 months to play some reserve football/be around/train with the first team. If it hasn't worked out after that just let him go.
