Vimal

Had a good game today was everywhere at one point. What did everyone else think?

 

Looks a good prospect to me. Thought he started to make a few loose passes before he was taken off though

 

I think he’s quite limited in possession but if he keeps it simple he can be a really useful player. He’s a brilliant athlete. Gets around the pitch really well & challenges for everything. No one will want to face him.

 

Arguably our best player for an hour very impressive

 

Thought him and Vickers were our two best players so was surprised they were both taken off. However, the two replacements were outstanding so what do I know?

 

Kept his place when bringing in Russell was expected by many and he played really well.

 

That's what I thought they did fade towards end though. Thought vickers goal was class but haven't watched it back. Vimal won the ball back and broke up play time after time put himself about well. Looks a good prospect considering he's only 19, when he fills out could be a strong player.

 

Vimal and Bland are going to have great careers no doubt about it.

 

I thought he was excellent again, but he needs to channel his aggression the right way, as this week and last week he has got involved in off the ball confrontations that are unnecessary. He could turn out to be a very good player for us. I always enjoyed watching him in the U21s

 

Vimal was excellent. The box to box energetic midfielder we’ve lacked. Kelly was great too when he came on.

 

Seemed to control everything with his shins. Too early to say for him. Feel like him and Bland have been forced upon us to accept they are first team players.

Genuinely hope I’m wrong though.

 

He seems to have a bit of bite about him but can also play a bit, especially driving forward with the ball. Seemed to play a bit deeper today but he did okay.

I’ve got high hopes for him.

 

Going to be some battle this season between him, bland and Kelly for that third midfield spot alongside Phillips and Connell.

3 excellent prospects

 

Love Vims positive, aggressive approach. Thought he played well again today.
Brings some real fire and urgency into midfield.
Kelly also looks like a sound acquisition. Another one who is forward thinking with an inclination to attack.

 

I thought he played really well first half.

 

He was much better last week for mine and we improved when Kelly came on. Still worked hard and got stuck in today but wasn't able to influence things in the way he did last week. Both Vimal and Kelly look, at this early stage, better than the options last season.

 

Look good first half - he was everywhere, had lots of energy, looked to break when he got the ball. A few dodgy touches here and there though, and fouls too. Went missing a bit second half.

I think he’s a really promising one - great to have him step up

 

He's had two very decent games. I think we should sell Russell given that we need funds. I know Vimal & Kelly are young, and their form will dip from time to time, but I think they are good enough to cover his loss.
Of the players that would command a decent fee he's the only one where we already have a replacement in house. money could be spent on a good centre half.

 

Russell’s out of contract next summer too
