He hasn't been able to get a start because the team has been doing really well. With David Brown's unfortunate injury he finally got a decent chance and was very impressive. If he can sustain that level of performance for a full 90 minutes it will be a mouth-watering prospect, considering the way he got on the end of Mullin's flicks to burst through on goal and bring out the best in their keeper. But he is also very much aware of what is going on around him and delivers good ball to his colleagues. One moment when he cut in from the right and took out their defender with a feint was sublime - if you blinked you would have missed it.
I think he and Gary Roberts together are fantastic, but to single them out is wrong. The whole team played with such intensity yesterday - you could even see it in the pre-match warm-up. The fitness levels have moved up another gear or two recently - I think the workrate is phenominal.
