Makama looking like a proper player. I'm old enough to remember some people writing him off as having played his last ever imps match.
Agreed. I thought he was excellent today.
The big difference is that Skoobs has taught him how to press, and accelerate into closing down defenders. Might earn him the odd booking, like today, but we won a lot of balls from his closing down. He's now probably ahead of Draper as regards a first team spot (although Draper still looks nowhere near fit).
Makama has always had the skill. If was the effort that was missing. Thankfully it now looks as though the penny has dropped, and its improved every aspect of his game. Very much enjoyed his performance today.
