Herve Pepe Ngoma has looked a class above anybody else on the pitch, still 0-0, nearly 90 minutes

He looks class

On tonight's showing, he wouldn't look out of place in too many lower end Championship defences. Can't believe he's not in our development squad, he's 18 now. He looks very good with the ball at his feet, wins so much in the air, particularly from set pieces, leads from the back, wins tackles, defends the front post from crosses as well as anybody I've seen at this age... may sound like I'm hyping him up but I am seriously impressed we have a diamond like him.

FT 1-0. Held their own well enough at the back and one deflected goal in it. Unfortunately, never looked much of a threat going forward apart from when Fox or Rowe showed rare glimpses of magic. Midfield very poor going forward and Stankevicius barely had a sniff, service was very poor. Dour game to watch but it was evident that our game plan was to get men behind the ball and frustrate United which worked for most of the match. Once they went 1 ahead, we never looked like scoring, a shame really.

Been pretty impressed so far with Brandon Fox, Stankevicius and Ngoma. All seem like they could make the step up perhaps in the future. The left back Chilwell is a liability! Flying into tackles, awful passing.. not too bad defensively though.

I really do despair at times and wonder what some of you clowns are looking at

Let's see how the above statement about various players pans out in the long run

I wrote that about half hour into the game. Fox started very brightly I thought and seems a capable winger - I've heard he's only 16 too so plenty of time to develop, granted he did drift out of the game as it went on though. Stankevicius did very little after that, had some good flicks and hold up play but received very little service. Herve Pepe was comfortably the best player on the pitch. On the other hand, my opinion of Chilwell changed, like I said above, he flew recklessly into a couple of early tackles and twice after winning possession played poor balls across to the right centre back which almost put us in trouble. By the end he really impressed me, very energetic, good pressuring, solid defensively, good getting forward. Think he could do well. 

 

What are your thoughts anyway? Obviously you're in a better position to say as you've seen them play a lot more than me.
