A belated message thanks to work, but i made the short trip from Northampton to MK to watch Nick Powell as not seen him play since the play off final, and things are looking very good for him
Overal a poor game, two poor teams, Wigan giving the ball away too cheaply, and MK looking like a mid table div 1 team (we can dream!)
Powell came on after 60, and firstly he looked bigger than previous ( i guess age and gym work) but this gave him a physicality which i had nit really seen before
Taking to account what I said about MK, they did not have a clue how to handle him. He was pushing up, dropping deep, and dare i say it, setting up play in the middle and making Scholes like (i've said it!) runs into the box
Goal 1 he was quicker and cleverer than the defence and keeper, and goal 2 was class with a dink at the end - once again far too quick
What impressed me was he was outthinking MK, and was always one step ahead
I'm not going to say he's the saviour of Man U or England quite yet,
