    I enjoyed that half, loving the rotations when we are in possession and then how quickly we get our shape back when we lose it.

    Browne is going to be so important to us, you can already see his quality and his leadership skills in CM

    Cirkin not been great so far, would like to see him influence things a bit more when we have the ball

    Jobe started to come into it towards the end, some brilliant runs into the box

    Aggressive when pressing and moving the ball at pace

    Enjoying it so far

    Enjoyed that Some nice football and we actually seem to have a plan to get the ball forward.
    Similar to TM's teams struggling a bit with their low block. Mayenda doing OK (raw but at least he tries and puts himself about) but an experienced Centre forward
    and we have a half decent team

    Think RLB will work a lot on getting the fullbacks right. He talked a lot about the triangle of winger midfielder and fullback. Starting to see it with Jobe Clarke and Cirkin

    His movement has been good so far but he just lacks a strikers instinct in the box - caught flat footed on a few occasions n not anticipating where the ball might drop

    Doing some great work defensively with his pressing n blocking passing lanes tho

    You can see it at the right hand side with hume roberts n browne and im sure itll happen on the left

    Browne moves the ball quickly which helps, as does hume - dont have that on the left just yet

    Good to see Johnson. Should be fit as well considering he's been playing league football in Ireland.
