TAYLOR IMPRESSED WITH DAVIES DISPLAY

Peter Taylor praises the attitude of Callum Davies following strong performance as Captain against Stevenage

Peter Taylor says he has been impressed with the attitude of young centre-back Callum Davies and praised his performance as Captain during the 1-0 win over Stevenage on Tuesday.

Davies, 21, led the team out at the Lamex Stadium and helped to ensure a clean sheet to progress to the second round of the JPT, and Taylor had nothing but praise for the defender following the game.

He said: “I’ve been impressed with his attitude ever since I’ve been here. When I first came here I decided to put Leon Legge at centre half so he was always playing catch up.

“He then lost a bit of form because he hasn’t played so many matches and he was desperate to play which I totally understood.

“His attitude has always been first class, he has now done a pre-season and played a lot of Football and I’ve been impressed.

“He’s perhaps been unlucky not to have had more league matches before now, I very nearly started him last Saturday as a central defender but in the end I knew I needed him on Tuesday night and because of his attitude I decided to make him Captain and I thought he played like one.”
