I watched Couto tonight he's still only 19yo and one I'd retain. Because he's at an NPL club it doesn't mean that's his level.
I don't care what league they play in its potential I look for and IMO he has it.
Couto had more attempts at goal (one hitting the crossbar and another cleared off the line) than Kitching has had all season- and defended well too. Some of his crosses were excellent.
He should be given another season IMO.
I know it was against Avro, but it was the ability and performance I looked at.
Benny Couto best player on the field, but still light weight.
I wouldn't write him off though. Ashton number 10 Cusani about 6ft 5" playing wide right is strange, but although lacking pace looks decent.
0-0 half time, a bit like watching Latics.
Avro v Ashton United cup final at BP tonight 7:45
Will probably be the best match seen this season and maybe some better players.
Benny Couto should be playing for Ashton.
I'd like to see him play for the first though, even if its the last game of the season.
It's no gamble though IMO he's a terrific prospect.
Having said that he'd probably get no service from the present crop.
I always renew mine. It's the team I follow not the regime.
Mind you if I won the Euromillions jackpot I'd buy the club, make Frank and his family honorary members... and myself chief scout.
