They equalised from a free kick after about 18-19minutes but Ramsey has just put us back ahead after dribbling through about 4-5 tackles.

So far we've been miles better than them, Caleb Chuk looks far too good for kids football, I suspect he'll be off on loan in January if he's not on the fringes of the first team by then.

Oh and there's a 3rd, Chuk again.

Very entertaining half of football.

Great desire to get the ball back and when we have it always looking to move the ball forward quickly. The striking thing for me is how comfortable all of our players look on the ball, loads of skill out there.

Caleb Chuk has played well and Thorndike has some real quality on the ball. Ramsey Jnr a class above. Also really like the look of Lindley, who has put in some great tackles.

Wouldn't have flattered us to have had 4 or 5 goals.

Thorndike has the thing a lot of young wingers do which is he looks fantastic until it comes to end product, he should have a goal or 2 and at least 1 assist already.

Iroegbunam is going to be a player I reckon, he's not quite ready but he has everything you'd want from a young centre midfielder.

The only negative is that our defence has looked a bit of a mess but I think most of that is down to swinkels looking badly out of position at left back.

Enjoying this a lot. Great to watch free-flowing football and some great talent on show.

We finally sign Thorndike so that he no longer appears as 'Triallist' and we sign another one! Anyone have any idea who the trialist is?

According to Twitter, Declan Frith, who played for Chelsea as a left-back last season. Seems to be playing much further forward for us though.

We've played poorly so far in the 2nd half and as a result they've pulled one back from a corner, hopefully we wake up a bit now.

3-2

I think I'd like to see him as a full back, he's a bit meh on the wing, not got the pace or skill to make a full back uncomfortable but does seem pretty neat and tidy.

Better since they scored but a few players trying to do it on their own.

Ramsey has been subbed but they were doubling up on him and he'd barely had a kick 2nd half.

Not watching the game but that seems a weird reaction, surely the manager (and players) should be identifying where the extra man is?

I'm not sure if he went off because of it, just pointing out that we didn't take off a guy who was bossing play. Lad who came on for him (O'Reilly) has worked his tits off to be fair, reminds me a bit of trez, in both good and bad ways, seems to sometimes be running too much for his own good.

Big Chuk gets his hattrick, great ball to him by Frith (the trialist).

He'd missed a couple of decent chances this half so glad he didn't blow it. His movement off the ball is really good, I reckon he'd do really well with passes from Buendia and Bailey.
