Thought it worth pulling Skipp's thread back to the top after it disappeared from the foreground of this forum.....like the player himself all season.
So behind the loss, the Jose discussions, the Dier shenanigans etc there was a 19 year old that played 120 mins last night. A lad that gave away a silly foul on the edge of our 18 yard box and had to navigate a serious chunk of that game on a yellow. A lad that burst through in extra time and then got a nosebleed.
All in all though, I think Oliver should be chuffed to bits with his contribution last night. He showed passion and commitment for the club and a load of maturity. I'm guessing he'll never be a world beater but do think he has something to contribute with his energy and tenacity. He also showed a load of classy one touches and short passes mixed in.
Whilst everyone wants to talk about Parrott, I think young Skipp deserves some conversation.
He did ok, nothing spectacular, but was also being constantly told what to do where to be by Jose from the touchline. I think nosebleed came from that by then he was too scared to even try getting up there!
