The match turned the spotlight on Liam Delap, who has already made a significant impact by scoring four Premier League goals in seven appearances. Interim boss Ben Futcher shared his thoughts on Delap’s performance with football journalist Henry Winter.
Ben Futcher said, “He’s given their centre-halves a real rough night. Liam was an absolute handful. If you want to go and fight him, he’ll match you. If you want to race him, he’ll win the race. He’s very difficult to deal with, he’s quick, he’s powerful, he’s in good form in the Premier League. It’s a good aggression. I wouldn’t be trying to take any aggression out of him because that’s one of his major strengths. But he needs to learn to control it.”
