All of our players seemed to be worserer than last season but that's not down to them it's down to the oposition and the amount of time they have on the ball. The shooting was at times fantastic and sometimes woeful but how many times did the wood work get struck? how many good saves were there?
I thought that our defence played well yesterday especially Icky who seems to be growing in stature.
The midfield was packed with energy with Wiles and Crooks. Barbaser had a better game but how impressive was Lindsay when he came on? This is going to be the strongest midfield in the league. Wiles I must say was full of running and when he was asked to man mark Quin he showed that he was capapble of doing that job however you could see that Quin had the first half a yard in his thought which gave him an edge until Wiles got to grips with it and thereafter Quin had no effect on the game.
Crooks looks like he's grown in bulk! what an engine and what strength what a player we have there.
The forruds played well as a three. They supported each other really well and forged out some good chances but alas neither of them scored with the most likely to do so being Vassell. I think Freddy was a bit out of sorts and got a bit côcky which effected his game.Smith did better wth his control and was able to draw defenders.
They had to work hard to lose 1-0 yesterday because on another day that couls have been 3 or 4.
Still some work to do but the keeper will have the back four playing in front of him with confidence quicker than we could hope for.
It's going to be a long hard season but you can see that this team is going to do well and it'll get stronger and stronger as the weeks go by.
Great 3 points!!!
