Fowlers Verdict
"Overall I am very impressed with how we have started in the league, we've been great in some games scoring 3/4/5 each time and other games we've been excellent grinding out 1-0 victories, the team is showing great character and potential and it is great to have a set of lads like this. Morale is at a high at the moment and the players love going out there and putting on a show."
"I was particularly impressed with youngster Joao Teixeira, he has been phenomenal this season, scoring 9 goals and leading the way for assists in the league and average performances, he is very much like our former forward Luis Suarez. He enjoys getting on the ball and running straight at the defence causing them a number of problems and it is great to see, he is in devastating form lately and I'm enjoying watching him. This is why I have voted him player of the first third of the season. He has totally deserved it!"
"The whole team is developing great and having Steven and Kolo around is making it easier for them because the youngsters are high in energy and Steven and Kolo are there to keep them grounded and as ever are very reliable on the pitch, so far so good. Roll on the next 15 games!"
