Handwritten notes, because I’m also the editor and I can do what I want

For Stockport

Che GARDNER (10)

Gardner tapping in at the far post:

Getting the 10 in the game in match ups like that is often a matter of finding a flick to put a midfielder facing play

A couple of decent first time passes

Gardner ? Yes

Marcus KOUAM (9)

For Charlton Athletic:

Alan MWAMBA (4)

Patrick CASEY (10)

Casey plays at his own pace, but can also back it up

A brave finish

Kaheim DIXON (9)

Dixon is interesting because he’s quick, and direct. It is a nightmare for defenders to handle a striker who runs fast, but then can also take on the defensive line on the ball from wide areas.

Dixon’s activity out of possession, and to make runs isn’t matched yet by his finishing technique

Dixon has the streetwise problem solving in small spaces, which becomes an interesting package when you know how quick he is.
As for clusters, quick players rarely think outside the box, they’re usually faster anyway.

Ibrahim FULLAH (8)

Fullah is tenacious out of possession: tight without making fouls

Kai ENSLIN (11)

Ryan HUKE (8)

Josh LAQERETABUA (2)

Reuben Reid’s finish

One to keep an eye on, just like Micah Mbick; still injured
