Tell you what, for a kid that just turned 18 last month he doesn't half have a bit about him. Look forward to seeing more of him, probably starting tomorrow night.
I'd put him in the Solanke type of style. Yes he's not fast but he is quite mobile and agile for a big guy. At 18 still growing and developing physically and as he does his coordination and balance will improve too.
I'm just happy to see an attacker who has come through the academy who isn't pint sized!! The last one of any size was who, Neil Mellor?

2 lovely taken goals, very different goals that required a range of skillsets. Glad we could execute them both the way he did. Big future ahead.
good players (and average players) can learn to do the first one now and then. The 2nd one you don't ever learn how to. You strike. You strike. Quickly. You striker.
I think he is too, certainly in his age group anyway....question now is whether he can replicate that trait, whilst improving the other aspects of his game so everyone can witness in in the league. 5 years ago Brewster looked every much of that natural goalscorer, 10 years ago it was Adam Morgan and the list goes on.
I wouldn't say no to that. Maybe he could incorporate bits and pieces from all 4 and go on cement his legacy, his name amongst those very guys. Am I going too far too soon? Well I certainly apologize.
