Did decent I thought. A lovely player to watch.

Just for context ben doak and koumas are same age and wide front players who have had excellent season so far in championship on loan and kaide gordan is 18 months older but had lots of injuries and is on.loan at Portsmouth also a wide forward. Then you have Rio who is younger on the bench today and Young same age also on the bench today both wide forwards as well.

Not to mention obviously Diaz gakpo salah chiesa elliott and jota all who can play that position. He is about 11th in the current queue for 2 wide front positions at Liverpool.

Ranel Young has been moved to centre-forward since they sold Harvey Blair to Portsmouth and is 2005. In pre-season, it was Danns followed by Blair, then Danns followed by Young and now with Danns out on loan, it's Young starting centre-forward and Keyrol Figueroa backing him up (the son of Maynor, scorer of that ridiculous free kick for Wigan from his own half)

Also a slight difference in age, in that he's 18 and they're 19 (Koumas and Doak), and closer to 12 months older than the same age. not that it really matters much either but Gordon is closer to 2 years older than 18 months older...

It goes:

2004 - Gordon
2005 - Doak, Koumas
2006 - Kone-Doherty, Morrison
2008 - Ngumoha

Good at least that he was selected ahead of Ngumoha - i would have expected him to be given the nod off the bench rather than Trent, so that's a good sign.

interesting that Trent played 45 mins on Friday night, not a lot of recovery time before your debut. He was replaced by Young. Mabaya played 71 minutes on Friday and 47 minutes tonight (before being subbed as a sub), Norris an unused sub played 64 minutes on Friday before being replaced by another unused sub in Nallo. Ngumoha was the only lad they saved for the FA match. You'd really expect better planning.

i think he's coming along fine - he's basically where Koumas was last season. you'd hope he's in Jim Crawford's thoughts, although i'd be pleasantly surprised if he was
