Rocco Vata

He can count himself unlucky not to have an assist in both our last two games. That cross for Oh should have been put away and the Starfelt one at the end should go back across goal for a tap in.

If Jota and Abada doesn’t make it I would be tempted to start him next week.

 

Not ever a 'maybe' for me, I would put him in. Highly unlikely Ange will though.

 

Has a cracking cross on him.

 

He's not had his head down and tried to impress as a player but tried to work for the team.

His crossing has been exceptional.

If Jota isn't starting next weekend, I'd happily see Vata start.

 

Great cross on him but didn’t look as pacey today as I thought he was.

 

Did well. Biggest criticism today is he got bullied a bit in certain situations. But not aware of him ever being out on loan, so still has to make the adjustment to playing against men, not other development players.

Looks really promising. Hopefully Ange gives him more game time, including a start, in the rundown of the season once it's done and dusted.

 

Has some definite potential. He'd be starting for lesser sides in our division. I'd like to see him go out on loan to that end next season.

 

He is very quick as well but I think it was more he didn't use his speed well for the most part..

O’Donnell's experienced and got in between man and ball a couple of times. Vata looked like he was trying to go at him too early when facing up. Did get by him twice though for a couple of good crosses..

 

No where near ready to start next week.
He won't even be on the bench .

 

Great cross on him.

 

Given our lack of home grown talent I don’t think we can afford to send him out on loan. That’s why Welsh is rotting on the bench this season and why we signed and aging, injury prone Forrest to such a long extension.

 

Another promising look in for him, think it was good to see him up against a physical left back like O’Donnell as well which he’ll learn from. He’s nowhere near a starter but happy to see him get game time.

 

Yeah put in a few decent balls and looks a talent but he was shoved off the ball easily by donnell and looked at times very much like an 18 year old kid straight out of the n team.
Agree nowhere near a starter and some saying they'd start him next week is way ott

 

He isn't ready to start next week and understandably isn't physically developed. He's literally just turned 18 and has had no loans or much first team football..

He is good enough to get some starts though in my opinion. Has the talent and only way he'll physically develop is by playing against better first teamers..

 

Put in a few quality crosses at the correct height-something that others failed to do all game.

 

Aye definitely looks a talent.

It's a difficult 1 bcoz the pressure we are under most weeks we can't afford to put youngsters in we also have international players sitting on sidelines who need minutes and won't be happy having a youngster getting game time ahead of them.
The lowland league was ment to be a bridge to playing against more physical players but the standard is so low that these kids still arnt getting developed properly.
When they go on loan its usually to a * team managed by some * halfwit who have no idea how to coach/utilise talented players.

It most be soul destroying being an academy player in this generation bcoz they path to the 1st team is probably harder than its ever been unless you are an absolute superstar. The problem we have if we are lucky enough to unnearth a superstar is that they are lured away to likes of Liverpool/bayern before they are 18.

 

O’Donnell is strong and quick so was good tester for him, he’ll bulk up and learn how to beat the more physical defenders.

Once we’ve wrapped the league up would be happy to see him get a few starts.

 

Personally I'd rather give them to abada and try get another year out of him.

 

Abada is away no matter I think, playing him last few games in dead rubbers wont convince him otherwise.
