Just scored for the DVP

76' | GOAL!!! Mark Harris taps in the rebound after O'Sullivan's long-range shot was saved (3-1)
Did ok, as did Waite, Spence and Coxe when they came on as subs. Nothing spectacular, they all kept it simple but played their part in a slightly fortunate win. Waite and Spence linked up nicely to put Declan John through near the end but his shot was saved. Craig Bellamy was in the technical area all game.Originally Posted by itkman
The term 'technical area' does amuse me. It's just a rectangle where management is confined to. Nothing technical involved.
Considering their age (Spence is 16) the subs did well. I thought we were quite comfortable apart from a sloppy 15 minutes in the first half but don't think anybody put their hands up for first team selection.
2 assists for O'Sullivan as well
Again, did ok. The defence splitting pass for Southam's goal was superb and he had a purple patch around that time but just when you think he's going to take the game by the scruff of the neck and turn in a 9/10 performance, a couple of passes get mishit and then he drifts out of things. Frustrating because he was playing in a position that suited him and he was infinitely more effective than Immers has been in that role at DVP and first team level lately but he's still not doing quite enough to force his way into first team contention.
To be fair, there were baby-sitting duties to be done in the second half and players like O'Sullivan, Wharton, John and Ajayi held it all together pretty well. It must be an odd feeling for Tommy, Declan and Theo to see the youngsters coming through and realise that was them a few years ago but they still haven't progressed. If the club has made mistakes with players like them then I hope the lessons have been learnt as the new generation starts to break into the DVP team.
