Don't think he was fantastic today, they had a lot of joy down that side of the pitch first half.

Considering his age and the fact he has been thrown in he did well.

I thought they targeted him first half but got no change from him, the chances they had were from Mori side when he was going on walkabouts.

He's totally ace.

Agreed. Known it for a while, but he's getting a chance now. I can't see a weakness in his game. Hopefully he carries on getting some more confidence with more appearances

It's fantastic to have kids like this who come in and do a magnificent job when they're asked.

Who was that lad at the back for them that come from Barnsley a few years back, also what did he cost them in the summer from his last team? he had a bit of a mare today. Our buy from Barnsley looked a class above him and can actually defend.

Errr he was up against aguero silva and Stirling ohh and throw the pale Belgian in there as well

Yeah he's gonna be fine

I know we're all raving about Davies, and rightly so, but Mason made a great double challenge to get us back in possession just before. The young lad looks very promising.

Long article in today's Times on Leon Osman.
Leon reckons that Holgate can be better than Stones.

On today's evidence, that looks spot on & i like him in a central 3.

Superb today , this lad is the real deal. Every time he shares the pitch with our former boy wonder he looks head and shoulders better than him.

Biggest compliment I can give him is that I forgot who he was another youth playing today. Fantastic.

So good.

Great game :-)

Enjoys playing and hopefully will be major part of our rise back to the top

i don't think he'll be as good as stones, but he'll definitely be a better defender. Feel a bit sorry for barnsley producing these good lads on not getting a massive amount for bringing them through. Then again, i don't like barnsley, so NEA.
