well, not gonna sit here and try to pretend i knew all the face and names, especially the heed game, they all looked different in the new strip (have to say after seeing it in action i actually like it) but a bad performance would have shown up and i never saw one, yes there were a few 'rusty moves' and few plays they look as if they are going to use this season that never quite came off.
basically, every lad that got on either pitch today played his part, new lads looked settled and the young lads just played as if they were part of the 1st team...would like to say 'this lad' had a good game but i would be guessing at names and all look capable to step up the odd game.
semedo and bellingham, couple of nice steady debut's there i think, lihadji and ekwah seemed to step it up in the 2nd half, wanting to get involved more, only other one i am going to add is pritchard...when that man is fit and ready he is a shoe in, his work rate and movement means with the wide boys he needs to be central.
not going to be hard on any of the lads as there are obviously things to be sorted, partnerships to grow, understandings to be made and i have to say both games provided a good test for our lads, two good teams there and i hope they do well in their leagues.
was just good to see games back again.
