DRINGO
Player Valuation: £5m
Based on the way he's got these lads playing I'd have no problem giving Unsworth the caretakers role till the end of the season. They all worked for each other, pressed Leicester all over the park and played some lovely crisp, quick football.
Really enjoyed this game, it was a very good team performance with an outstanding performance from Dowell. He's come on a lot physically since I last saw him live. You won't see a better hat trick than this. He always had time and space, his awareness is superb. He's not the finished article but he should be getting some playing time between now and the end of season. I think he actually maybe Spanish!!
Putting Dowell to one side there were good performances all round. Pennington looks too good for this level, I don't think he'd let you down in the first team. Connolly played well at centre half and at left back. Davies was very good in midfield, looks to have a bit of everything. Williams played well but looked better when he got pushed a bit further forward in the second half. Jones played well on the right. Foulds looks like he has something about him, he played well at left back. Evans is only young he struggled up front and looked better when he dropped back to his natural position at no 10. It will be interesting to see what he looks like in 12-18 months time.
Looking at this I'd have Pennington, Connolly, Davies, Dowell and maybe Williams involved in the first team squad till the end of the season. But overall we've got some great lads here and a few of them have a chance. Factor in the lads on loan and the future looks bright just hope we have a manager who'll give some of them a chance.
I went tonight also ! was good game to watch and some quick interplay was class and should of finished off ! dowell first was a cracker he was looking to slip someone in i was looking to see who he could slip in and then dink ! the guy just has finesse! as above and also thought holgates cameo was good ! won some good headers and brought the ball out stones style a couple of times !
