Wealdstone Manager Matt Taylor had nothing but praise for Crystal Palace loanee Jack Wells-Morrison after he played a crucial role in their 2-0 victory against Aldershot. The 20-year-old midfielder has been on loan at Wealdstone since the start of the season and has already made 11 appearances in the National League.
Wells-Morrison had started the last two league games on the bench but was given the opportunity to start against Aldershot, and he did not disappoint. Taylor, a former Premier League player with West Ham and Portsmouth, commended Wells-Morrison for his outstanding performance.
“Jack was excellent again,” Taylor said. “He covered a lot of ground and executed his defensive duties exceptionally well. His quality on the ball was evident throughout the game. It was a fantastic performance from him.”
Taylor also praised the overall effort of his team, highlighting their hard work and commitment on the pitch. “Our players really put in a shift today. They outworked the opposition and executed the basics of the game perfectly,” he added. “This win was well-deserved, and I couldn’t be happier with the team’s performance.”
The victory against Aldershot extended Wealdstone’s unbeaten run to three games, and Taylor believes that the team is starting to gel and understand the importance of hard work. “When we play like we did today, we look like a formidable team. I am extremely proud of the players and the effort they put in,” Taylor concluded.
It is clear that Wells-Morrison’s contribution, along with the collective effort of the team, played a significant role in securing the win against Aldershot. As Wealdstone continues to build momentum in the National League, the performance of loanee players like Wells-Morrison will be crucial in their pursuit of success in the league.
