The great thing about last nights game although we only drew was the young talent and raw energy on show. I was really chuffed to see the likes of Academy boys Weslowski, Sheehan, Mattock, King, Chambers and Stearman on the pitch. Laced with a bit of experience like Hulme, Kisnorbo, Fryatt etc we have what I believe is a squad other championship teams will begin to envy.
When you consider the likes of Max Gradel (on loan at Bournemouth and really doing well, they love him there), Levi Porter, Eric Odihambo, Ricky Sappleton, Billy Kee etc it goes to show that Jon Rudkin and Steve Beaglehole are having a massive and often unrecognised part to play in the progressive future of our club. The recruitment staff at the Academy level are second to none and there are even more talented kids on the way up from the young age groups. Coupled with the fact that we now have a manager who is able to galvanize this wide range of talented individuals and is not afraid to give the youngsters a go - the future really does look rosy despite the last 6 months of uncertainty and despair.
Did you see how animated Holloway was encouraging the supporters to get behind the team.........similar traits to MON..............Great to see.
The only way now is up........................
