If Anene isn’t fit on Tuesday I would expect Walker to start in the middle; he’s a tall lad, technically good (the ball stuck to his feet when played to him) and quick. He’s obviously a bit different as he liked to take the ball on the half turn and run from his defender into space - this is far from a bad thing but it’ll be interesting to see if he does take that position and how he and we adjust if he does.
One more thing came out of the match - the good judgement of the management. Firstly to recognise Offord was ready for the first team, seemingly from nowhere - 3 starts, 3 wins and made it look easy. Secondly to stick with Jonah; the match suited him and he was still going to the last showing great stamina. Finally bringing Ainley on for Finney, who had been excellent by the way; fresh legs and his trickery, combining with Pixie and Kirk down the left tore them to shreds so that Charlie was able to slalom through some very tired players to get the winner. Well played Dave and Kenny!!!
