Thought he was excellent yesterday.

Full of confidence, some lovely touches, and took his goal well.

The lad has a bright future

[Northernhibee]

Was very impressed with him.

[HendoDelivered]

Fully agree. Happy we have tied him down on a longer term deal. Top prospect.

I thought he could have looked for a pass a bit more often and he lost the ball quite a bit but that was due to him always looking to beat a man and be positive. A goal and assist is a good return and considering he has been out it was a good return

[Pretty Boy]

He was pretty frustrated in the 1st half that the ball wasn't coming out to him often or quickly enough. Gray seemed to share his frustration and was telling him to hold the touchline and not go looking for the ball.

He done well when he got on the ball though. Wants to be positive and he'll learn when to release it as he grows and plays with his head up a bit more. You can teach that more than you can teach an instinct to attack.

18 year old and the best player on the park by a distance. You can see the team grew in confidence in him by the fact they so often looked for him when playing the ball. More time on the ball means more time it doesn't come off but his success rate was unreal. Confident and strong, he'll get us £3 million, I think Seria A would be a good fit for him

Agreed. Looked too keen to impress with his individual skills rather than being aware of team around him. Kuharevich found himself space in the box on a number of occasions but was left frustrated as Rudi beat another unnecessary player. Love to see him in the side but wish he would find that pass

Agree. That was my biggest bugbear of the game, particularly the first half. Players trying to beat their man constantly instead of looking for a pass. Miller was the biggest culprit. It's almost as if the players thought it would be as easy as that againt a low level team. Second half was a bit better.

I thought Rudi was OK overall.

I think the issue is first half he played LWB but maybe didn’t trust his left foot to get a good cross in.

Second half when he played in the middle he looked a lot better

[A Hi-Bee]

think we have a real player here if he progresses as he should. Bright future in the game.

[Tambo]

Have hyped him up the last few years, was impressive at the start of the season, even in league games, a drop out the team and injury has slowed him down a bit.

Boy clearly has talent, I'm not sure if a loan move for the rest of the season is on the cards, would be better than sitting on the bench and making cameos here and there.

Fair point. 👍

Had a good game but best player on the park by a distance is a bit much.
Boyle probably would have hit a treble had he been kept on.
Definitely plenty potential but still plenty to learn.
