Brizzle Rovers losing 4-0 @ ht had 60% possession. Nuff said

Pretty much what you’d expect so far.

I get we play out from the back, but Slocombe has to use his loaf and not drop that pass into a kid out of the academy in that position.

Been impressed with Adiefeh. A few nice passes and worked hard.

Ness and McDonald looking good too. Tsaroulla looks dangerous.

I’d really like to see us get Martin the ball more. On the occasions he’s had it, he’s generally looked to be positive. Be nice to get him the ball more consistently.

[MancMagpie]

Yeah, I'm all for giving the kids a run out but we're nowhere near the level of performance of the Burton game.
Think the balance is wrong this time and there's too many youngsters. Needed a couple more experienced players or 1st team sub players in the team really.

[SmiffyPie]

IMO if this is what's coming through then we are F...'d.

I think Gill looks very lightweight, easily out muscled.
Hinchy looks dodgy
Ness needs game time but looks OK
Impressed with McDonald
The young lad Adiefeh is showing promise in midfield but will probably run out of steam.
If Premier League sides can play their under 21s, why can’t we?

[1955pie]

Just had a message from a friend who is a Northampton fan and is at the match.
“For you, Martin looks promising”

[The Dug Out]

This standard is just about Brown's level, terrible.

[irish_pie]

Never thought I would say this but I would like to see Austin out there to inject some urgency into this... my God Brown has been pretty terrible so far tonight 😕

[irishpete]

This standard is just about Brown's level, terrible.

The last 2 signings seem to be panic signings to me.

Whilst we’ve been better tempo since half time, got to say, we seem to have a ‘can’t be arsed’ feel at the minute.
Struggling to see what Brown brings to any team. I sincerely hope we’re not paying of his wage as he really doesn’t seem to be bothered. Even when he’s got a sight on goal he lazily kicks it anywhere.
Cundy and Hinchy look good in moments and then so poor in pass judgements in others.
