Jack Sparkes

[The Proper Chap]

Thought Sparkes was outstanding 2nd half vs Orient.

He certainly was and it was mainly due to the fact he was playing in a more attacking role.

Sparkes can do a job at left back / left wing back however if we want to get the very best out of him we need to play him further forward.

His main asset is his crossing ability.

He was excellent again tonight.

 

[Rosencrantz]

He was excellent again tonight.

He is definitely growing in confidence and taking his man on in the right areas of the pitch. His corners were mainly very good tonight, whipped in with pace not allowing the keeper to come and claim as has been the case before this season with Williams and Law floating them in.

Wonderful how he has seamlessly become a first choice,starting six consecutive games. And too good /valuable to use in the Checkatrade or U23s. I see he gets plenty of MOM nominations too.

The rest of the football world will wake up to him,once he scores from either one of those thunderbolts or after a mazy dribble.

I can see one of them coming very soon, to be honest I thought he had done it in the first half on Tuesday night only for the keeper to make a finger tip save.

I’ve been really impressed with Sparkes so far!

I've been very impressed by Sparkes too. Must confess to not knowing much about him before this season but he's looked good. Makes a difference when he comes on. Physically strong. Very confident on the ball and going forward. Can beat a player (or three) and can cross. Would he be more effective playing further forward?

Yes.

If I recall correctly used to have an eye for a goal or two at youth and under 18 level, just a question , could he be turned into a left sided striker, or a goal scoring midfielder which would or could fulfill a need team needs at the moment.
