Watched the game last night, and here's my 2 pence. (Also have watched most of the reserves games this season)

I thought that the team played with a great passing style and one which will keep them in line with the 1st team should they get there.

Fletcher was fantastic. Always impresses me whenever I see him play. For me, he has just 'got it'. Hard to explain, but he just has that class and composure which makes him stand out. Good finish for his goal last night too! If he doesn't make it at United I'll eat my hat!

Richardson was very good. Although, I think he needs to play at this level mainly this year and really push through next season. Hopefully he will feature for the first team a bit this season though. He has obvious talent, confidence and pace.

Jones scored 2 good goals and looked very comfortable at this level also. He will be a very good player in the next couple of years. Good left foot and passes it simple when he needs to. Needs to fill out a bit first.

Chris Eagles came on mid-way in the 2nd half. I think this lad will also make it at United. Reminds me of Giggs but on the right hand side. Goes past players with ease, good pace, and always popping up in the box. Would like to see him play in the Carling on the right of Midfield.

Nardiello. Unsure as to whether he is/will be good enough for us. Seems at times to have a great natural finishers instinct...... but it deserts him at times in an alarming way.

Mads Timm. Having heard loads about him over the last year or so, I have been slightly disapointed with what I've seen of him so far. Good finish against Boro the other week, but I keep hoping for him to be involved more in the match. I have seen glimpses of why he is compared to Scholes, but he needs more time and is only young.

Alan Tate. Got really badly out manouvered for WBA 2nd goal, but otherwise was solid and passed it well from the back.

Eddie Johnson. Didn't play last night, but have to mention him for other games. Really like his work-rate and sheer determination to get to seemingly crap passes. He's a player United fans would really take to their hearts if he got a chance. He plays extremely well with his back to the goal, and has a decent eye for goal.
