Can't see a reason for Lineham to take his spot after that performance. Nice to see competition for places and a youth player doing well

He's really good, wonder how many games he will play before he has a bad one. He's answered every question asked of him so far. Real deal this kid.

In due course it'd be great to have Thewlis, Ashton, King, Dean, Trueman in our backs.

Thewlis, Mamo 2 & 3 is a potentially underated threat. He had Yaha in his back pocket all evening

It weirdly works.

It does, they look committed and switched on very effective line speed applying pressure putting that bit of doubt into the opposition mind.

No problem seeing either of these names on the team sheet

Thewlis is a class act. Think he’s a genuine superstar.

Even though he looked very assured tonight, Thewlis is only 18/19 and won't be played week in week out.
I do like the look of Mamo and Thewlis on the right though. They are not the biggest, but work well together and there's no doubt they're quick.

Why not (on that performance) game time will suit him well and being on the pitch with Inglis, Widdop and other internationals will only benefit him. For me, he's a starter now until and only if his performance drops.

Glad to see him get his opportunity.

Defended well down that right side against a much bigger bloke. His break in the second was very impressive, hope he continues in the side.

Should it not really get lineham in charnley out ??

I like what lineham offers he makes good meters returning and makes yards after contact and still gets a quick play the ball. I made get frustrated in the over use of him taking the ball off our line but it should be less frequent now we have a decent rminterchanfe for hill n cooper he gives us size and power close to the libe which thwellis n ashton don't. Charnleys form has dropped byt he is hardly getting the ball.

We should get behind the good enough old enough mentality thwellis and Ashton have both so far shown that they are good enough thwellis's next challenge a will be his response to a bad game or a few mistakes. I see him more as ratchfords successor over the next few seasons as hes a Mich better full back than winger imo.

Thewliss is not a winger so it is quite a compliment to his footballing ability to still be chosen to play. Ashton has been really unlucky with injuries but it will at least provide Thewliss more chance to get game time and preferably in his specialist spot at FB.
