Jesus Wept #VanFlappershoef Apart from that bizarre throw in goal that was disallowed, I thought he dealt with pretty much everything that came his way tonight. A really handy replacement to have when Jaakkola goes away on international duty or gets injured.

Watched the development game for all but the last 5 mins. it was 4 - 0 when I went in to watch 1st team. Lee Mansell is doing a very good job ! We have 4 or 5 very promising players and it was very good to see THD give a Rolls Royce performance especially 1st half.
The keeper, Armstrong had little to do but did it all very well - catching. He's very vocal and gives good info to his backline. Tom Mehew at CB was impressive - his distribution was really good. Zain Walker -blistering pace - out wide and going through the middle, a few tricks, great energy - he deserved a goal. Lewis Clutton - dynamic in midfield, silky on the ball, worked hard to harry and win the ball. Harry Warwick - a hattrick and 3 other close ones - just oozes confidence - rounded the keeper for his first. On this form, I hope he gets a loan to a Nat League side. He could get on the bench next season.
Kieran Phillips had a bit of a mare with his finishing and crossing from the left - but he made some good runs - hopefully he can pick his form up at this level soon. Think he can.
If you love your footie and the dev squad play at The Mem again then get your asses down there - you'll really enjoy it.

Leadbitter? One of the quickest players over 10/20 yards I have ever seen, yet rarely used the pace he was blessed with. Also, the worst crosser of a ball I have ever seen. At any level. He’s a lot of things, but ‘exciting’ isn’t the immediate word that springs to mind. Totally agree. He was exciting if you like fast runners. But having got into position down the wing his ball into the box was truly woeful. His ball into the crowd was woeful, rarely got a cross on target. Also had a tendency to go past his man and then check back inside, despite the fact he had pace to burn

Easter was crap. Lot of rose tinted spectacles when people look back on him. He had a few reasonable performances towards the end when he finally started to get games ahead of the even more usless Luke James but he hardly ever set the world alight. Luke James would have been a better signing than Nichols. Firstly he can head a ball, secondly he sored from a penalty, well eventually

You build a team from the back.
