I’ve been impressed by the way Skubala has managed Jovan Makama. Makama was having a tough time before Christmas, when he was exposed to regular League One football way before he was ready. His potential was obscured by his confidence draining away and when we had more striking options available most people expected Jovon to be shunted off on loan well down the pyramid.
Skubala though has kept him in the squad while keeping him out of the firing line. He’s managed to quietly rebuild his confidence by giving him a few minutes from the bench in several recent games and I reckon we were all delighted for Jovon when he recorded his first League goal yesterday. The lad did look a bit sheepish though in the goal celebration, maybe thinking Jack Moylan deserved the credit. Jovon should stand tall and be proud though, that sort of tap in is what we need our strikers to be doing, not every goal can be a classic, and in fact Jovon’s follow up put the icing on the cake to what was arguably Moylan’s best run of the game.
