    At 21, the chances of him improving his decision making are very slim indeed.

    It's like he doesn't understand the game, a low football IQ, or however you want to describe it.

    If you score then great. But for a chavvy kid, for the winning kick, he made himself look a reet turnip

    Bowyer saying its a privilege to be involved in the game. Deflecting the performance a bit.
    Devit done his hamstring. Pritchard was outstanding. Didn't think the goal should have been disallowed.
    One or two have given him something to think about. One or two also let themselves down.

    He sounds like Ozzie Osbourne a bit.

    It was the long, dramatic pause with his back to the keeper that did it. Beags put the ball down, walked back to the edge of the area, turned round and blasted it. I feel sorry for that kid, as he obviously had a "sick" celebration routine sorted out too.

    He’s just not good enough. Shows bits and pieces of ability but its false hope. He should have buried that chance he hit the post with. Can put in some half decent crosses but then tripped over his own feet etc. I think his mental weakness and tendency to be frustrated with himself beats him. His body language suggested he wasn’t happy with himself

    He's still working out if it's Everton Richards or Richards Everton!

    Maybe. 21 is still fairly young and he doesnt have much pro first team experience. I think his movement is pretty good, he just gets over excited when he gets on the ball. It's a huge season for him really, if he doesnt break through this season, next at the latest, I dont think he'll kick on.

    I think the only positive is Devine's and Anderson's performances tonight will thankfully keep them out of the side for the foreseeable.

    And to think people were creaming themselves over his performance a few games ago. Some even crazily mentioned a motm performance. He is a park avenue player in the making. Same with Anderson, just doesn't have the basic skilset of a professional footballer. Certain players are stepping up to the plate now, BRE looking solid every game, both AOC and POC look able partners. O'Donnell looking good, Vaughan and Donaldson look threatening. Pritchard should get the left side berth, the three other midfield spots up for grabs.

    Massive, massive season.

    This is it, this is the lowest level of the EFL.

    If he isn't ready now, and we get promoted, he will never be ready.

    Ha ha. He said Bowyer made some good subs that helped turn the game for us, lol.

    We didn’t make any subs at HT but started brightly after a rollocking at the break. If anything Pritchard was our best player and subbing him and stand in captain Donaldson to keep them fresh for Sat actually effectively killed our hopes of killing them off after a good 15 min spell or so!

    Bizarre.

    You said it was crazy people thought he was MOTM in a game. Why is that crazy?
