    Nathan Jones is at the U21 game.

    Junior Nkeng definitely catching the eye. Hit the crossbar in the first half (might also have been a cross rather than shot). Wicked low cross in the second period which a Sheffield United player managed to lift over for a corner.

    The recent…

    Strange, because it was not a PM kick-off.

    Who is nearer a first-team run (even if only as sub), Nkeng or Reid?

    Probably Nkeng as he's been on the bench every game , Reid I don't think has (I know Bradley Tagoe has been)

    I didn’t see the entire game but Reid and Nking both looked very useful.

    Reid has really good close control, can diddle players, but his ball retention allows defenders to get goal side, if he released the ball a little earlier, or drew opponents towards him to create spaces for others, and moves the ball on quickly to those teammates it would improve his game. In mens football he would not be allowed the time on the ball he currently wants.
    Still able to learn and refine his game in order to be more incisive consistently I reckon.

    Otto did not look out of place particularly, but was not eye catching either.
    Unlike Mwamba, very eye catching throughout the game.
    Good to see Edwards play a half.
