My interest in Oliver Skipp’s progression at Norwich is turning into heartbreak when I then look back at Tottenham and see the journeyman Harry Winks still on our books after all these years, adding nothing to proceedings.
The Canaries drew 0-0 against Middlesbrough yesterday and again, Skipp was a player of note. From tenacious defending in the clip above, to this counterattack disrupting tackle below.
In one note of caution though, Ollie lost the ball on a horrendous number of occasions, this was atypical of his usual game, but worth mentioning, less we opt to ignore the warts n’all.
We also were treated to this clever back-heel which is surely an indicator that the boy’s confidence is growing.
Skipp is still in the process of having the rough edges worn away, however, Harry Winks days are surely numbered. Please don’t make the dull mistake that I’m using Skipp to arbitrarily bash Winks, our squad in urgent need of a shake-up, and Winks’ name is is on the list. I’ve seen enough of both players to know which one is the more interesting.
