Walters showed exactly why some people know what they are talking about with youngsters and others don’t. He looked clear ready to have a proper a plan on development. Not ready for a first choice shirt, but ready to utilise in the first team when opportunity permits. We should have been looking to use him six to eight games this year, with dual reg for the rest. That is how you develop him. The likelihood of that happening is slim, as we have a big quantity of players and overlooked his potential.
The backs of Stephens and Hall showed again why there was no need to go out and make a desperate cover signing. For when it will be required, they could have done the job. The backs short in first team, should have been addressed with quality if deemed required, instead of a bit part to stump others.
Thought McLelland looked much better than other preseason games, and especially considering the age of the team he was driving around. Impressed.
Also thought Burton gave a good account of himself. Didn’t see Ollie as a potential super league, but thought he pushed himself to that bracket last night. Much better option than messing about with Whitely, who had his chance previous and nothing will change for his future.
