His best game tonight and did well to win the penalty, but now needs a goal and a few games at that standard.

Agree with this. If he keeps improving (and growing physically) in 3 years he will be some player. Runs like a gazelle.

Wingers are never consistent....never mind a young 18yr old lad trying to find his feet in a tough, tough league.
To be fair, it’s possible to be someone who is absolutely buzzing to see we’ve got another youngun deemed good enough to represent our team, but also think he’s not ready based on what we’d seen so far (up to Friday night). I know, because I am one. He’s looked miles off being ready, in his starts so far but the ability is there and the potential is great, that much is clear to see.

I think sometimes it’s obvious a player has class even when very young. The players I recall thinking that of are Bridges, Henderson and Rigg. Watson has that but will need to improve the physical side of his game. Plenty of time for that. If we could have him and Roberts coming on as subs to run at people replacing Mundle and a new RWwe’d be in a great place on the wings.
Too stupid to reflect

I don't think,it's physical mate, it more a case of getting to know how to use his body/shield the ball certain ways etc.
This. He hasn't mastered the anticipation of a shove in the back, holding or somebody getting a leg across him. He's getting caught off balance and then loses control or goes down.
If he's able to add some weight, that would probably help, but should also be able to improve by working on his body position and anticipation.
There are plenty of lean players who are able to cope with physicality through tenacity and coached (or natural) body positioning.

He doesn't seem too keen to track back, a little apathetic in his chasing down after losing the ball I thought, would like to see more aggression from him.
I know he's young but he did look like a little boy caught in the headlights at times.

I think Roberts would be even more frustrating coming on as a sub tbh, he'd be trying worldies from everywhere

Has to keep playing on the left because he’s wasted anywhere else.

It’ll come with experience. Mundle is good at it, Jobe is excellent. Using their body to get between oppo and the ball while dribbling

Bang on mate. It will come with the more games he plays. I think he's going to be an absolute star. Keep Mundle well and truly on his toes. Great options for Le Bris.
Yeah. At the minute he has that "I can't believe he just did that to me" look, when he gets out muscled, but he doesn't appear to be intimidated, more about being naive.

A few more games under his belt at this level and Mundle will struggle to get the shirt back off him. Going to be some player.
