Declan John

Cracking player with a big future. Did well tonight

I'd prefer to see him on the left wing!

Attacking wing back

Should never had been dropped.

Did really well... Top lad and good to have some homegrown talent coming through at the club

Looked good tonight, Very quick will look forward to seeing him more, Kimbo also played well.

Fantastic performance full of running and positive going forward great to see at last what we see down the right flank with Theo, and only 17! Gave Sunderland something to think about.

Not as good as your old man Wakey!!

If that is John's son of course?

can't believe my lad was playing in the same team as john along with ralls and nugent just 2 years ago and now a prem footballer !

He looked every inch a prem player yesterday - Taxi for Taylor.

He's going to be a top player for us although I still think we need a proven left back in January possibly on loan. This will give Declan the time he requires so he can continue to develop at this level.
