great to see him start

Delighted for him and looking forward to seen him play. Hopefully gets protection of some sort from Mirallis.

Get him on those corners, could make the difference

Not sure playing this lad against the attacking threat Wolfsburg have is a great idea myself, could be a baptism of fire.

Glad to see Martinez give him the opportunity this evening.

Hopefully he uses it to his advantage especially, as I doubt Tony will be bombing forward too much this evening.

Tell you what mate,he's done more bombing forward under Martinez than he did in eleven years with the ginger fella

Not so sure myself Dave but he is a talented, mature lad and hope he proves us both wrong. Happy for him on a personal level and that this leads to a league start soon as well.

Great line up and to see him start. Some people incorrectly thought he should of started ahead of Hibbert at the weekend, be a harder game this one tonight than it was at Goodison against them but im sure there not going to let us down

Well you're not wrong there to be fair. Thinking back, I almost had an aneurysm at Manure away when he charged (or danced) into the box.

I was gutted that Shaw brought him down, as I would have liked him to have had a poke at goal. My life would have been complete...

 

[Stutheblue]

Lets hope he does well.

Colin Harvey didn't do too badly after his Baptism of Fire v Inter Milan in 1963

Big chance for the lad tonight

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Good luck to the lad.

Impressive first half from Luke, composed in attack and defence and a couple of decent corners Distin should of scored from one of them.

 

[Jozzy]

Doing fine so far, defending well and doing well with the ball at his feet, can really whip in a corner.

Would like to see him try and cross the ball more in the second half. In saying that he didn't have the chance to in that half.

Distan and Garbutt doing well on the left.Garbutts confidence is growing and he's looking a player
