I really hope we see this kid in the Ist team before the end of the season. Nearest thing ive seen to a young Wilf. Plays on the left too, one of our problem spots. During the Int break he scored scored against Millwall behind closed doors. We didnt need to sign Franca because this kid can step up. Anybody else rate him?

When he came on last night replacing JRS, he certainly gave us something different going forward, seemed very aware of what was going on around him & how to step his way through it to get forwards, providing both shots & crossed several good balls into the box - I thought he looked composed & talented, (one to watch) of course at that time Everton were 3: 1 down & having to push forward a bit & the game was a bit more "end to end" so he would have had a bit more space to work with -

Anyone know who the trialist was in the last couple of games? Looks decent as well.

Yes, this lad looks the business. I remember seeing him play as an unknown 'trialist 2' in a match at Copers Cope, can't remember who we were playing, but he stole the show.

I agree he looks every bit as good as Franca. Hope Ollie is preparing him for the big time.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

I think this is the trialist
