Not had much to do,a couple of two yard passes here and their,looks confident,not overawed by what he's facing.
Which is not much at the minute,slow start like the England game,fancied a draw for this,i think the last home game Uruguay had was a draw against Honduras i think it was.

Bam Bam Cavani nearly scored,Northern Ireland trying to mix it with Uruguay,only one winner their.
Terrible pitch,Uruguay look totally crap without Suarez.

Let's make sure we extend his contract we don't want him walking away at the end of the season. One for now and the future. If his performances in league one are good we do not want to lose him for nothing. If he has another good game against Chile we may get enquires this summer.

Quite right. If Luke is to fulfil his promise then, next season should be a pivotal one for him, and for us hopefully.

Looking at the line-up, he seemed to play in a back three with Hughes and Baird. I wonder if that might be the best way to deploy him next season, with maybe Jones and McCombe alongside him.

Get him in the starting line up,the fella has got plenty of potential,though i do think think the papers went a little overboard with the praise.
For me he wasn't involved in the game enough to go over the top,but when he was did better than average,against some top rated players.
Although if Uruguay play like that we will have no worries,i think a back three would suit us,it would also bring the best out of Husband,as he would be doing more going forward.
Not sure i'd like to see Coppinger as the right wing back though,a lot of tracking back involved,we would need to get somebody for that side,assuming we hold onto Husband,getting back to McCullough a lot of potential to develop there,he needs the games now,we haven't a lot of money,give him his chance.
