I think the right back is deffo one to watch, Chris Davis... he looks a good player, didnt look out of place, cool, calm and has good awareness and a nice touch. Would like to see him on the bench at least where we cant fill the bench (When the embargo is off, of course). Acheampong marshalled them well (although should have cleared their 3rd goal), Bellamy tries to pass the ball and does plenty of running, probably needs to bulk up a little bit so he doesnt get brushed off the ball but hes definitely got potential and we know our coaching team is excellent so they should develop him if he sticks around.

Mohamed Diakita or Diakite not sure how its spelt but he was our number 8 on the night... to me hes got massive talent id say hes our best youngster hes got just about everything as a footballer quick, strong, technically gifted, skillful, intelligent, great touch, awarness, vision name it the lads got. one thing that i can criticise about mohamed is hes not so good defensively and as you can see in the video the midfielders ran off him several times as he didnt track runs. other than that i see a real gem of a player, iv seen him play in several youth games and hes run the show not the box to box type but a playmaker. great on the ball always lookin to make things happen and what makes me enjoy watching the kid is he plays the game with a style probably the most stylish player at the club which makes him a joy to watch. cant wait till he gets pushed into the 1st team so i can see more of him great lad. also jack taylor and leon farrell also players to watch out for all 3 players are what we need.

Jack plays center half?? looked lightweight upfront. Leon had 2 shots and didnt hit the target.
Apart from Chris Davis, the two others who were ok were Liam and Ant. Didnt see anyone else who could step up quickly, although Emmanuel could be a possible with coaching as he stretched them a few times. I didnt personally rate the left back who mistimed a couple of tackles and went missing for a goal or the keeper, who probably should have saved two of the goals but they are only young and only learn from experience Jusging them against a Ryman team is perhaps unfair.

Steven, i'm not sure about that. I think the number 8 was one of our poorest players on the night. For me the right back chris was our MOM. He did all the simple things well and looked composed on the ball. I've seen a few of the youth games this year and he stood out alongside the young centre back Ryan Wall in most of the games. Not sure the CB had his best game here, but has impressed me and i heard he was an unused substitute for both luton games. There is definitely potential in the academy. As mentioned above by JGFC, the number 4 looks a good prospect and always wants the ball. If he bulked up would be some player! Hope they get another chance to impress. I'm sure they'll take it.
Deffo potential, they were well organised, looked a bit tired after an hour but kept going well, Did create a couple of chances for leon, one of them he should have buried.
