We were playing a decent side who cut through the centre of midfield at times and looked comfortable in the first half.
first goal possibly off side in the build up. Super finish from 18 yards. Keeper might just have done better. I realised tonight that whichever keeper we get this year each goal conceded will come with the nagging doubt , would Ripley have saved it? He was unlucky with the second having made a terrific save. Didn't quite convince enough
dummigan seemed to be improving on other friendly performances. Did ok
edmundson - seemed too central at times which made us more defensive as he didn't pull out right to either support or cover the rwb as Wilson does so effectively
clarke - scared the shit out of Stuani. Ever so slightly rusty
gerrard -'ok again a bit rusty
Hunt solid I think he'll improve with each game
flynn and banks- I am not prone to knocking players but they were poor. I've put them together because together they were the problem. Both can't position themselves when defending and don't move forward quickly enough when they have the ball. One might be a luxury we can just about afford but I think together they are a liability
Fane - carried the midfield. I think he gets over hyped on here but tonight was the best I have seen him play. MOM. Never thought he was about to get sent off. Could be learning
davies and Holloway- quietly impressed .held it up well and got about. Made chances and got in the box
subs - 17- think he flattered to deceive. Had a few pacy runs. Incredibly small
duffus isolated up front. Did 3 things.superb turn and shot out of nothing which went just over. Won penalty ,scored penalty. I am looking forward to watching him
fawns busy saw little of the ball
edit
missed 18 and Obadeyi which says it all really. 18 tried but had little end product. Was switched a couple of times which couldn't have helped a triallist. And Obadeyi didn't seem arsed .
