We only saw him do that once (and on the second tackle!), though. His only mistake in an excellent performance from him. Very encouraged by Phelps last night.

If everyone maintains their improvement and the team continue to gel we could be on the cusp of something good.

Our weak areas look weak no longer and I'm starting to feel a bit excited.

Another good effort this afternoon. Wind was blustery and swirling and he had a lot of high bombs to defuse which he did well.

Has Phelps dropped a high ball since he came? So solid under the bombs and his kick returns are good. Good support play from him too, if he had a touch more pace I think he could be one of the best in the league.

dropped one in his first game i believe

Wigan? I wasn't there so won't have seen it. Anyway, the point is that I've never felt confident with high kicks watching FC for years, with Phelps that's one worry I no longer have.

Now if he can teach some of that to Sharp then we'll be laughing!

looks the part to me TBH, we dont need another FB we have a cracker already

starting to get that Prescott and kemble habit of always beating the first man running the ball out another good performnace today.

he had a good game, took some difficult high balls, if anyone needs to look at their defensive performance today it's turnstile Westerman.

Thought Phelps had a great game today, well worth another year imo

we wont buy better for cheaper, personally I'd give him two years.

me too

of all the squad he worries me most ...
in my humble opinion he isnt what we hoped he would be

Horne, Turner and Washbrook worry me more.

thought Jordan had a cracking game today TBH, Horne had his best so far but washbrok doesnt inspire me i agree

gotta go , BGT is on , aparently Hudgel is on with his juggling act !!

Turnstile Westerman? I hope you're only meaning today, as he's only missed the same amount of tackles as Fitzgibbon.
