That's bad news about Jarvis. We may see more of the Murphys than we thought. I wonder if Kean leaving might mean McGovern is coming in.
No, you're right - I should have mentioned it on here for those who do have a Player subscription. My bad, not yours!
Us exiles have to keep in touch by whatever means. I used by Canaries player subscription to access the Posh Player. Something new learned every day!
Great review mate! Glad to hear Effete looked good, but I thought he was mainly a right wing-back? Great to hear he impressed at LB. Also great to hear Maddison looks like the player we are lead to believe he is. As for the Murphy's I've already had my say and expressed my joy! Did Toffolo play? And did he look competent?
Certainly, based on that performance I think both Murphys will be in the squad this season. They have both matured big-time from their loans last year and given that Jarvis has just had knee surgery and will be out for 2-3 months, their time has come. Maddison is a composed player with some very neat touches and what seems to be good vision, but he still looks a young player compared to the Murphys. Both Toffolo and Thompson looked solid and like I said Toffolo should have had a penalty when clean through on the keeper. Thompson teamed up well with Tettey (who looked very composed throughtout) and I think both of them could make the squad this year. I could see Efete as a WB but he defended well too. He also got into a very good position for a close-in header that unfortunately went over the bar. Hope that helps mate!
Looking at Woodbine's goals clip again, what a fantastic long pass that was from Bennett for Josh to run on and score. Shades of Ian Crook for the oldies here, David Fox for those a bit younger.
And we've not really had anyone like that since Fox left. Maybe, to accommodate Maddison, we should deploy Wes in that deep Ian Crook, sweeper role?
