Funny that football19 mentions both of these issues - I've spoken to Kevin Long and Andy Owens for a bit of a defensive special in Saturday's programme and they've had some interesting things to say.

Kevin seems a very determined character who admitted that not playing competitive football for a year has harmed his development but genuinely couldn't be happier to be getting the chance to play games (for what it's worth I personally agree with Shaker that he's improved with every appearance)

Andy is just recovering from a hamstring problem - he was superb for the ten minutes he was on at Southend, but then had to pull out of the warm down because it was hurting him a little. He's got a very interesting story to tell and has been coveted by plenty of clubs. His time will come I think. I was very impressed with the impact he made on Saturday.
