Cocu Nominated

Wow Vidal, I expect you are the first person to notice that grey rhymes with gay. With wit like that you could write scripts for comedians like Jim Davies or even Benny Hill if he were still with us.

I thought Spartacus had departed this mortal coil earlier in the week?

When I met him in the Merlin last year, I have to say he looked well for 102.

Good win for the U23s tonight, 2-1 away to Leeds. First time I have seen Hepburn-Murphy, looks a decent player. Hector-Ingram lively. Archie and Jordan Brown good.

But the star again was Feste Ebosele. He looks like he is going to be a hell of a player, and in the not too distant future. Very quick, very strong on the ball and already looks physically ready. To me he stands out more than Bogle did the season before he broke into the first team.

Ebosele still listed on the U18 squad and is Irish. This brings under the Heb Celtic umbrella. He will do well

We whinge a lot about recruitment and with some justification when it comes to some big signings for the first team in recent seasons. But Bogle and Mitchell-Lawson were acquired from Swindon for the Academy and Ebosele from Ireland and I think all three will end up at a high level and could ultimately earn the club tens of millions of pounds, or save it in transfer fees paid. Hector-Ingram and Hepburn-Murphy might be similar and all of these players brought in for an outlay of nothing or next to nothing at all. So credit where it’s due.

Eno Nto is the one to watch. What a future in store for us all

Win tomorrow and we will be 7 points off the play offs with 15 to play. That sounds doable. Must be due an away league win soon.

Yes, Vidal. I also thought the CBs were outstanding tonight, esp when Calvin Phillips was running the 2nd half. Ethan Wassall rarely gets the plaudits he deserves and Jordan Brown has impressed me in every position that he's played in. Under the radar more than some of the others, but quietly authorititive.

I think View must be working on the match thread as we speak

Yes Ang, should have mentioned Wassall. Considering the possession Leeds had in the second half the defence limited them to very little in the way of clear chances.
