No rockets needed this week then?

I went to the game to specifically watch our players more than the actual game itself.

How anybody could ever compare Grimes with Bruce baffles me.

Grimes puts his body on the line constantly and also plays the 'sweeper' role better than most in the game at the moment.

Other than the odd errant kick, he nearly always puts the next player in line to advantage.

Watts put in an reasonable performance for his time on the ground. Bails should have put him on halfway through the 3rd qtr. - He is a clever footballer with all the necessary skills to become a brilliant one.

The thing he needs to do is go with his initial gut feeling and just go for it. Hesitance is his problem. He needs to play on instinct. His time WILL come !

Although a bit quieter this week Gysberts is in it all the time. Clever handballs to advantage in tight situations, he smothered the ball brilliantly on a number of occasions. He will be a star of the game.

(Watts needs to play with Gysberts instinct)

Bennell is way underrated by some. On the last line of defence (which is sometimes on the wing in the modern game) he gets us out of trouble on many occasions and then more often than not causes an offensive surge.

He may not get a lot of the ball but when he does something good happens. Increased possessions are just around the corner I think.

Bartam's disposal is getting better as time go's on, he plays a brilliant shut down role on opposition smalls which should not be underestimated in todays game style.

Stef Martin has made some amazing ground skills wise and is becoming a real footballer. He can read the game well and now knows what to do in the clinches. I feel as though he will be our most improved player this year.
