McCowatt was doing okay? Seemed to have bulked up a bit.
What do we think about Louis?
Thought McCowatt did well, certainly looked to offer more than Sotirio. Fenton was impressive, still can't cross but (solely based on that one game) he's a better player in the right FB position than Payne, good to see him back. Was really worried he'd do his shoulder again with the amount of slipping over though.
Yeh, Payne had 3 assists. That means goals from good passes.
Louis had a good start and did well defensively. I wonder if he could be used further forward too if Payne gets brought back.
Anyway good to have the competition. I think with Louis the strikers have to look more for flat fast balls near post or cut backs, from the byline, rather than something aerial.
Surely he's secured a starting spot for the next game. Thought he was very good overall. I noticed that compared to pre-injury Fenton he seems to have recovered some upper body flexibility that's been missing in recent years.
Was he previously wearing a lot of strapping to secure his vulnerable shoulders or has he just simply lost some bulk? Either way he seemed slimmer, more agile and was able to feint his way past players in a way that he's not been able to for a long time. And as always he's got a fantastic engine.
