I honestly haven't seen anything from him to make me think he's got the blistering pace people talk about. In fact I'd say he's no faster than Rodriguez.
I do feel that sometimes Adkins waits to make substitutions because we are starting to take control when really that is when we should be bringing someone on to press the advantage.
Odd that the same people who are now laughing at those who said there wasn't much difference between the NPC and the Prem are now saying that because Sharp is scoring goals in the NPC he would be effective in the Prem...
At least 2 points from the next 2 games is needed now. It'll be tough but it'd be a big boost going into the new year to be unbeaten in 2 away games in a row.
Personally I was surprised Rodriguez didn't start up front, but I was interested to see what Mayuka could do.
Other than that it was our strongest team. On the bench...Lee instead of De Ridder for me, maybe even Reeves.
