Sutton-born 17-year-old striker Jimmy Knowles was a substitute in Tuesday’s reserve defeat by Doncaster Rovers and Flitcroft said the ex-Forest youngster’s cameo performance had really enthused him.
“Young player Jimmy Knowles came on the field for the last 20 minutes and on a different day he could have had a hat-trick. He impressed me more than anyone,” said Flitcroft.
“He was an enthusiastic workaholic and just made it difficult for the defenders. He wanted to run
“The experienced players put a right shift in and the younger players absorbed that.”
