Rush is only 18 I think. Done really well, hopefully he gets more starts and minutes. He's got lots to learn but I think he has all the attributes for a great player in the making. Hard working, Pace, skill, strength, awareness and finishing... And an Essex boy!Matt Rush is 19 and that was his first full start for us. He's made a couple of sub appearances but previously he was a regular U23 player. You may well have been fielding a weakened defence but I reckon @rlb999 called it right when he said he didn't get bossed by your central defenders. In terms of size and experience they were a pairing he has never experienced before. I hope that gives it some context.
Cool I get you now, a good prospect for you then over the next few seasonsMatt Rush is 19 and that was his first full start for us.

I think you're right @jimmy55 , just. His birthday, I discover, is 11 March 2001 so he will 19 next month. Jeez, my double glazing is older than that.Rush is only 18 I think.

His results were no worse and his PR was 100% better.
Sol hasn’t lost 7-1.... yet
To begin with league 2 ,who knows from there.Sadly agree, never known such sad SUFC days. Not sure where we go from here.
The game would have been very interesting had that shot gone in off the post. Our lack of experience in defence showed in that first goal. Clifford in no mans land because he was left with two players to deal with. Dieng as clueless as ever with his offside appeal and Elvis, not for the first time, stuttering with his arm up. One more yard and he would have blocked that goal.
Did anyone notice the clear hand ball by their lad for the second goal. It turned out to be a perfect assist, he even tucked his arms in after to show his guilt to the ref. Never mind they will equal themselves up....... Next season hopefully.
Just to add to the injury curse, Ox gets further hurt saving an offside shot and only because of this new obsession with flagging late. Yes i know the new rule but that player was clearly going for the ball and thats why Ox had to make the save.
We got our offside right for the 3rd goal, well that is apart from an injured McL i think it was. He was hopping out on one leg so played them on. The curse strikes in many ways.
Yes the 4th was a free header but it didn't matter at that stage other than to make it worse than it really was. The lads should not be judged on the final score.
Was Sol trying to prove a point about lack of players to rotate....Absolutely yes.
Perhaps he has read some of the crass posts on here that blame him for the situation, so feels the need too.
Yes he has made mistakes and you can see he if feeling the pressure. For those that say he knew what he was taking on, that is utter b******.....None of us including Sol expected us to be half way through Feb without a single signing, eight players gone and another 4 or 5 long term inured.
Lets hope his decisions don't hurt the likes of Hutch or Kelman to much. lets also hope our fans carry on this Saturday where we left off v Lincoln at home rather than Peterborough away on a Tuesday.
Sol hasn’t had nine men .......yet.
Sol hasn’t had Ron saying that he won’t be appointed manager thus stripping away any authority from him........yet.
