Moving up a level and now he and Mullin both in League One, interested to see how they both get on!

200k is the potential figure, seems bonkers that he's gone for as little as that but I hope he takes League One by storm and who knows, maybe this presents Jephcott with the opportunity to realise his potential.

Scored a tap in on 4 minutes after a GK howler, later hit a post when might have scored but not a bad first half for him.

1 goal in 3 league starts, 1 appearance from the bench, 1 league cup start and 1 football league trophy start. hopefully things pick up for Will soon, it felt like the perfect fit for him at Newport.

Can't knock him for moving on really. Surely on much more cash and at his age, might not get another chance to move up. Hope it works out for him as he gave his all for us.

Fair play, I wasn't sure whether he'd make the step up well but he's proving me wrong so far. Has to be knocking on the door if he's doing well at League One level. |

Has to be knocking on the door if he's doing well at League One level. yes lets hope Bellamy is good to his word as he said along the lines in the sgorio interview he would be picking different squads so I take it he will have a core of regulars, but places will be up for grabs so that is refreshing |

Back in the goals with a brace yesterday.
Mansfield surpassing all expectations early on.

Way down the line for a call up. 27 years old an very limited league experience. Not an option in my opinion. Rubin Colwill, Kieffer Moore, Brennan Johnson. Is he better than them or Nathan Broadhead or Tom Bradshaw?

Bradshaw should be nowhere near a Wales squad ever again regards Evans he is a natural finisher IMO than the others but hasn't been tried at a higher level, so its hard to tell |

Personally, I can't see Evans getting a call up anytime soon either mind. |

I don't think we can draw too many conclusions from Bellamy's start as a) so early on and b) second game was almost unique in weather conditions and second/third games were with several notable players missing.
But each side has started with one striker up top who can be used as a focal point in one way or another.
Will Evans has met every challenge well so far, and strikers scoring 1 in 2.2 in League One or better will definitely be on the radar, but I think each game for Mansfield has been as front two.
That being said Bellamy made an early comment about being more concerned with pictures and patterns rather than formations. I don't think anyone/anything is ruled out at the moment.

That being said Bellamy made an early comment about being more concerned with pictures and patterns rather than formations. I don't think anyone/anything is ruled out at the moment. Ramsey played as a false 9 against Turkey. You’re right it’s too early to draw any conclusions, but I think we’ll go back to that approach with perhaps Broadhead playing a similar role in Ramsey’s absence. Whilst I like Will Evans, I take a similar view of him as I did with Bradshaw when he was producing better numbers than Evans is now and people were calling for him ahead of Simon Church (although now Evans and Mullin are all the rage, and Bradshaw would be an unpopular choice). He hasn’t shown that he’s any better than the likes of Mark Harris or even Cullen arguably, both of whom are very limited players themselves. I don’t see the point of flip flopping around lower championship / high league 1 standard forwards. They’ve basically all shown they potentially have 20 goals in them at League 1, but then the ones that have been given the opportunity have struggled to produce similar numbers in the Championship. I suspect Bellamy will prioritise the lower Championship players for now (Harris and Cullen). It’s up to Evans to get a move to the Championship and produce decent numbers at that level to earn a place ahead of the others. |

It’s up to Evans to get a move to the Championship and produce decent numbers at that level to earn a place ahead of the others. Reluctantly I have to agree with you. It would be a fantastic story if Evans were to be capped, but as you say there are stronger candidates playing at a higher level. The only thing that could sway things in Evans' favour is his excellent work ethic out of possession. However, the same could be said of Harris and Cullen and they're both playing at a higher level. I can only see Evans getting capped if he has prodigous scoring figures and there's an injury crisis. Highly unlikely. |

I don't think it will happen this season, and then it gets tougher to break into the side as we go into World Cup preparation, but I'm not ruling anything out.
Evans is just about young enough that he has time, e.g. Füllkrug not getting Germany cap til he was 29.
My biggest question mark is how a striker used to playing as a two meets the challenge of playing as a one acting as sole focal point or as main instigator of manipulating the space where a forward would be.
But that might be getting carried away a bit. Am relatively confident Bellamy is a manager who will have a plan b and maybe c.

None of us have seen him play much at this level regularly, and given the fairly low profile of the league he plays in, I'm always conscious that we get a very warped insight into how well he's doing where we only ever see the good stuff. If you look at the cold statistics, they're not that impressive to be honest - Bradshaw was doing much better than this at the same level and at a younger age before he went up to the championship: www.whoscored.com/Players/443315/Show/Will-Evans |

I would like to see Broadhead and koumas being given a chance as that false 9 think they are well worth a try, especially as Bellamy has played Brennan on the right[may change if Brooks is available as that could allow Brennan to have a go centrally] we have options which is good |

The Radio Wales commentary were saying that he got fouled a few times without free kicks being awarded, so perhaps his complaints were justified...

Having seen him live and watched him off the ball, he really is a pain for defenders and gets fouled a lot as a result but they're not always given. If he continues his trajectory he could be a very useful player for a Championship team or top end League One side as he's all action, gives everything and can slot into different positions at any point and not look out of place at all. Whether he'll ever be good enough for Wales and Bellamy's vision is another thing but what a story it would be if he gets a call up in the next year or so. |
