‘Flo has the drive where he wants to improve’
Folarin Balogun scored his 12th goal of the season on Wednesday night as we ran out 2-0 winners over Northampton Town in the FA Youth Cup.
The 17-year-old opened the scoring with a cool right-footed finish, before Zak Swanson doubled our advantage in the second half.
Here’s what Ken Gillard had to say after the final whistle:
on how he reflects on the game…
First and foremost because it’s a cup game it’s nice to get through. It was a difficult game as we expected and I know the management team well at Northampton. I’ve come across them a few times so I knew that they’d be organised and hard to break down, but we got the job done in the end so that’s the main thing.
