Simpson shows his class

Posted by Jeorge Bird on January 27, 2008

Good morning.

Well, after watching the FA Cup highlights last night, Jay Simpson stood out again as he was on target once more for Millwall against Coventry. He definitely has an eye for goal and it will be interesting to see what Wenger does with him come the end of the season as he is clearly a very talented player. However, there are quite a few decent strikers at the club at the moment so he may find games hard to come by.

Carlos Vela was also in action last night as he played 84 minutes for Osasuna.

The u-18s succumbed to their second consecutive defeat (and their second against Ipswich this season) at London Colney yesterday morning. Goals from Kyle Bartley and Emmanuel Frimpong weren’t enough, but to be fair the players minds were probably more focussed on the task ahead at Anfield, rather than the game in hand.

Thanks for reading.
