Popped up Colney to see the U23s

for an entertaining game against Derby. However, as you might expect the only player anywhere near ready to be around a Premier league squad was the captain Tomkinson. He was outstanding. No surprise that he took part in the first team pre-season games on this form. Big guy (looked like twins) playing alongside him could be another future prospect for the CB conveyor-belt. Interested that Alan Neilson said afterwards that the performance wasn't up to standard. Tbh they looked like a young version of the current first team in that when playing quick counters the ball would just run away from players due to poor close control under pressure.
