Cornish Steve Posted Saturday at 19:24 Report Share Posted Saturday at 19:24 If only he'd managed to connect on McNeil's cross early in the game. What a start and confidence-booster that would have been. dunlopp9987, Matt and KinL 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked his flick for Doucoure in the first half, it was very tidy, but I thought he struggled physically for most part. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you said that...I was starting to think I'd missed something. Although I don't think he struggled as such. I thought he did OK considering it was his first start etc. Decently OK. Plenty of energy and enthusiasm to start with. Thought that faded in the 2nd half...as expected. It's bound too. But I can't remember seeing anything that made me think 'Wow, what a kid'! Hope he gets more chances though. Like any player, needs a run in the team. Romey 1878 and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's where we want him to be - but in terms of his top level exposure that was a pretty amazing performance for a lad so young.  The positions he took were great, strong in his duels, needs work on his speed but looks so well rounded.  His blocked volley looked like it was going bottom corner.  brentford can keep Maupay Matt and KinL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are underestimating how difficult it is playing lone striker feeding off scraps with Doucoure struggling to be on your wavelength. 19 year old kids don't put performances in like that. No he wasn't dcl vs Liverpool - but relevant to his experience it was superb. Sev and KinL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought it was steady more than anything. It was a typical first start really, in that he had a go and there were a couple of decent bits but a lot of evidence that we shouldn't be expecting much from him for a good while yet. Got good attributes but a lot of work to do with him. I do think he's put on some mass since he arrived though, which is good, and I think we'll see an even bigger improvement in that regard after pre-season.

I think the praise is largely linked to the relative pressure he was under today. He could've hidden but he didn't. Masses to improve on but, all things considered, did extremely well.

Harv Posted Sunday at 07:07 Report Share Posted Sunday at 07:07 He wasn’t tearing up trees but all things considered he put in a decent performance. He is definitely worth more game time, that much was obvious. I look forward to seeing more of him. Matt and KinL 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted Sunday at 08:09 Report Share Posted Sunday at 08:09 I appreciate the effort he put in and how difficult it is to play your first start alone up top. While he didn’t do anything particular great, he went about his business in a mature way and showed a few glimpses of potential. He looks strong. His effort when he lifted it over the keeper showed his confidence in his ability. It was offside and he got it wrong, but he used his strength to get the chance and calmness to lift the ball. I would really like to see more of him these last few games.
