McCarthy is incredibly one footed, really needs to think about his body position as too many of our passes to the right just keep coming back because he receiving the ball almost facing the goal.
So far pretty impressed with Skura & Pattenden both have looked pretty solid.
I am definitely amazed how high in the pecking order he has been (to come on as a sub in league games) considering how little he has shown. Hopefully this competition is good for his development, though.
That phase of play on the left at the back post where he took the safest option ever by going backwards was utterly bizarre. I’ve never seen a young attacking winger take such a safe option - and it went wrong.
Bits and pieces to like in that 1st half. Some nice passing, Vokes and Bakinson have played well. Not a great deal of creativity though and for all our possession they've looked as likely to score as us.

Today's milestone: Jason McCarthy moves into 16th place on his own all time for appearances (league era), with his 214th.
Also, good to have @BrianJeeves68 back.
Ibe?
Ibe surely the youngest
Roughly 7-8 years ago GA was having to bring himself on as a sub in this tournament.
Now, we have Sam Vokes starting.
Too quick before my update! @manchesterchairboy too.
I added Roger Johnson in too.
Great from Skura there.
Ibe
Kadeem Harris
Roger Johnson
Harkin
Probably Fred
Anyone else younger than Dotse?
It is just me or is the Sky feed really jerky?
Can’t be internet as connection is 150mb
All this new attacking prowess and vokes is on fire... rattles the post
Had to take a quick flight to Frankfurt.
Kevin Keen was 15 years 209 days, when he played for us in 1982, according to Wiki.

Great headed clearance from Udoh from a yard out...oh wait, that's their goal.
How did he miss that?
Unoh
Matt Phillips had just turned 17 when made his debut.
That's always the knock on Jase - take away his right footed passing lane and stop the attack.
Vokes should have a goal and an assist by now.
Bartolo has been poor

New daring prediction: Bakinson will score an absolute screamer or two this season.

Telling that for all our passing around the back, the only real chances we've had have been from quick crosses into Vokes.
Bakinson seems allergic to shooting
Bartolo looks nervous. But he’ll never get past that if we don’t play him.
Would love to see Jasper score his first ever goal for us today.
Or damage windscreens up and down the country
Haha - he definitely launched that one!

Both our fullbacks are very one footed. Apart from that it’s a bit mneh
