Peak Rover
Vital Reserves Team
Now that the most exciting for many a season a few personal reflections on our recruitment
Ravel Morrison obviously at one time had skill but not the attitude to go with it. Perhaps a worthwhile
gamble . Failure
Oliver McBurnie Took a long to get fully fit. Control lacking, puts himself about making himself a nuisance but not the speedy consistent goal scorer we.needed. Only reasonable
Lys Mousset. Not fit when he arrived, and never appeared to be fully fit. He had the speed we desperately needed ,but he didn't seem to have necessary commitment for the manager. sorry to upset his fan club Failure
Callun Robinson looked good at Championship level but was not able to make the step up to the premiership. Failure
Luke Freeman. seemed to have plenty of energy and a fair amount of skill. He was probably under used as a sub to add a bit of running at tired defences. Fair gamble
Ben Osborne Had to wait along time for his chance but when he was ask to fill John Flecks boots he did it successfully. Another year under manager and he can only get better. Success
Jack Robinson Like Osborne had to wait for his chance and although not as good going forward as o'Connell, he did not disgrace himself as an understudy. Success
Michael Verrips Very difficult to assess the progress as he has not had much match time to show his talent. He is still young for a goalkeeper so should improve. Jury out on Success or Failure.
Mohamed Besic Looked a very competent mid field player. I am surprised he wasn't used more as he
seemed to have steel and movement. Also he looked capable of scoring goals. Sorry he was not able to stay when the season resumed. neither Failure or Success
Phil Jagielka. We can only guess that he was signed to pass on his knowledge of the team and if necessary fill in at the back. On the success of the team he has been a Success
