I think Tom Caroll staked his claim for a starting place on 20:17 - Aug 21 with 1006 views | Swansea_Blue | Yep, I thought the same at the time. We were starting to look after the ball the best we had all game, which you need to do sometimes. It can't all be looking for the wonderball 50 yard diagonal but then seeing it come straight back at you. There wasn't really any risk until Evan's brain fart and I expect we'd have seen the game out if it wasn't for that. Oh well, hopefully he'll learn. | |

A good communicator also to others. He users his arms a lot to direct play. Has played with No fear - I want the ball attitude ! | | | |

All things I don’t think the other midfielders did. Very disappointed with Harper and Evans today; really didn’t look like a partnership. But my, what a player Edwards is! Pure silk. | |

Harper played well today. Evans didn't play as well. But I don’t think either are playing poorly. I don’t think either are suited to playing anchor defensive role. Evans is playing supporting role following Cook instructions | | | |

Harper played well? Really? It’s interesting how we all see things differently - I thought he was really disappointing. He was very static much of the time, miscontrolled the ball several times (as did Burns) and really didn’t contribute much. I can’t think of one positive thing he did - anonymous much of the time. | |
