From what I've seen from the team put out they do look like the two likely prospects who'll break through to the first team.
Sometimes forget that to actually break through as a youngster it’s very difficult and very few make it so it wasn’t likely anyone else that played tonight would look as good as Elliot and Hoever.
Chirivella has been decent but he should be looking decent at 22, obviously him, Christie and Kane won’t make it with us given they are now in their 20s but I’d like to see them try and up it a gear in the 2nd half, Kane has been far too pedestrian and always looking to slow the play down...reminds me of Spearing. All 3 of them need to do more defensively and ideally not handball it too.
But it’s good to see they are trying to play in a similar style to what the first team does, stands them in good stead for if they were to get more first team opportunities. Could have sat back and defended like many teams would have done but at least we’ve had a go and can count ourselves unlucky not to have scored.
