Kyle Scott is Joe Edwards go-to player in midfield for the Under-18s and has been for some time. In my opinion he is unique in a group that includes [or has included] talented players like Colkett, Ali, Sammut, Christie-Davies, Quintero, Maddox and Mount, in that he alone [possibly Quintero too if he improves defensively] can fulfil all the midfield roles at a high technical level. More importantly, he shifts the ball from back to front with an impressive fluidity of movement - very pleasing on the eye.
Even though it was only in a cameo role on Friday and admittedly he wasn’t at his best, you could see he was brought on specifically to take the sting out of the game, slowing it down and keeping control for long periods. We were happy to bring City back to the Bridge on level terms at that stage and Scott kills a game, whilst still keeping it flowing forward at pace when necessary, better than all those other players I’ve mentioned. I think this is just as much of a skill as finding a forward with a Fabregas pass - and I’ve seen him do that on a number of occasions as well!
