The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I thought Sam looked very quick when he came on , seems to have been working on his speed, but his ball control let him down a bit at times

Sam looked good when he came on I thought. It was great to see him back on the pitch after such a long time injured. He certainly was one of the very few who looked like they wanted to win it yesterday

agree that he looked lively and at least showed some interest in going forward. He must learn to control his first touch, however. He always tries to play it too far in front of himself and experienced defenders have time to cut this sort of ball out. He goes down the wing well but we need someone to get into the box or he is forced to go through on his own which is often unsuccessful.

Sam needs the confidence of his manager and games under his belt.
