It's basically him and George Abbott who've been our biggest threats recently
for me CE looked a bit shaky at first but seemed to adjust really well in the games he's played. From his reputation too, he could almost be as influential as JJ coming back, but he's older, coming off an injury, AND still adjusting to the div4 game. I wouldn't put too much pressure/expectation on him at first.

Abbott seems to be dividing opinion on here a bit. I'm a bit with AntiClough, to me GA will likely become an upmarket Matty Palmer, sorry MP! His energy and engagement/focus, and offball movement and ability to actually impact play, is very good, but still too often his energy and bluster doesn't result in net gains. Having critted him for losing focus after 60 mind before, I thought he was much better 2nd half than 1st against Newport.

Brown's progress seems to be slowing unfortunately, but in his defence against the comments elsewhere about movement up front, there was at least three times he made runs into the inside right channel and Ness or Palmer went left. GB visibly frustrated. There may still be more in him?
