Martin Waghorn - An excellent debut by the youngster. Made some good runs and put himself about and looks a good prospect for the club. In my opinion we are conceding to many goals. We are desperately missing Nyron at the heart of the defense.

We showed Manchester United too much respect. We didn't close them down and gave away possession too easily.
