Called up to the Welsh senior squad for the first time.

Looked more than handy against Burnley, bodes well for next season.

Been scoring lots for Wales U21.
Hopefully he'll kick on with us this season.

Hopefully he'll get a run out. Good luck to him.

Maybe, in future, we can bow to the alter of the man named Church.

Not much to go on but we actually looked lively upfront in the 1st half against Burnley - as soon as he went off and Kitson came on it all went back to ponderous and obvious.

He has already shown that he is a good finisher but what impressed me was his speed of thought and movement. Very much looking forward to seeing him in action for us next season.

Thought he looked like a very intelligent player from what i saw against Burnley. Exciting prospect me thinks.

Agreed he looked lively in the first half but I'm convinced that Matejovsky coming off was the key reason behind that poor second half performance. I think we could contribute significantly though.

Unfortunately Marek gave away the goal with his pass. The triple substitution was terrible. It said to Burnley we were panicking. I think if we had kept the three players on (possibly the most creative players in the side) we could have got two goals back.

Anyway congrats to Churchy and looking forward to seeing him next season. Always been a big fan of him. Did pretty well for Orient too by all accounts...

His selection shows how far we have come. 10 years ago we could only dream of having so many full und under something internationals. Congratulations Simon. Do yourself proud.

Looks like a great player - hope to see him a first team regular next season (and perhaps he should of been this season with benefit of hindsight - ah well)...
