Nice to see the U23s developing and if their transition to the first team is done well (I don't think it is currently) we could have a crop of real gems for years to come.
D'Almeida looks to be growing into a right wing back position although he did move into a more natural centre mid position in the second half He's very solid. Semenyo was in the other wing back position and really caught the eye. Tracks back, reads the game well.... Very quick and skillful and takes players on at ease... He looks more like a natural winger to me than anyone else in the entire squad.
Connolly caught the eye at the back along with McGuiness who certainly must be close to a run in the first team... Rarely played long and his passing accuracy must he excellent. Along with Denham at the back it makes an interesting trio with a little bit of everything... Tackling, pace, passing and some exceptionally well executed professional fouls!
Patten And King did ever so well in the middle when often being outnumbered. The pace and movement in front and to the side of them really helps. Davies also makes himself available and goes looking for the ball. A quieter game for him today though.
Zimba continued his scoring run as did Evans. Both will learn the game and make better decisions... A few times they took the wrong option but they are explosive and work well together.
Ratcliffe, the keeper, also looks very good at this level.
