Williams has definitely changed our style of play, no more aimless passing around the back, there's purpose to us now which is great to see.
Austin could have scored a hat trick tonight, he looked miles better than earlier games I've watched.
You never quite know in friendlies U23 squads aren't the same as men's teams but the style of play is definitely more positive than Burchball.
I think we either need to give Brooks more game time or sign a keeper, have done for a couple of years, Slocombe is a weakness and midfield still looks a player short.
There's no height up front although Scott looked pretty strong when he came on. Set pieces and hold up play are crucial at this level and as well as we played tonight I still think we could do with a big, mobile no 9.
