Even our sub has been subbed.

Not sure what the goalkeeping pecking order looks like at the moment and we didn't get to see much of Watts from a shotstopping perspective but right now for me its probably Vigouroux > Broome/Watts > Fisher

 

[Ringwood]

We've made more back passes to the keeper since our first team midfield has been on

 

[NorfolkSwan]

We look so much worse in centre mid now. Fulton & Cooper are probably on twice what Abdulai is paid but he was doing both of their “jobs” first half.

Really hope it finally sinks in to Williams that Fulton is a wasted space in the team

Vigouroux > Broome/Watts > Cabango > Fisher...

Based on that hour of football for the fringe players in my opinion the ones ready for first team involvement:
Pedersen
Tjoe-A-On (no surprises on these two)
Abdulai (fairly impressive in the middle, plenty of ground covered and always getting involved)
Franco (again no surprise here)

Maybe Thomas but we didn't get any service into him to judge him by.
Lissah needs to improve his reading of the game and defensive lapses

 

[WentToSchoolWith]

Have to think that Abdulai is nailed on as a squad player now, always impressed previously but he's now timed looking decent with us having a dearth of centre midfielders.

I'm all for him featuring ahead of Fulton, but we still need an extra body in there or we're left with Grimes, Franco (unknown quantity), an old, injury prone Allen, and a permanently out of form Fulton.

 

[Ringwood]

Eom looks a real threat down the left... having no striker or presence in the box is really evident again

 

[NorfolkSwan]

Lissah needs to improve his reading of the game and defensive lapses

Agree, but in the second half he showed he’s much better on the ball and has better distribution than cabango. Maybe he’s yet another centre mid rather than a centre back?

 

[bakajack]

Parker starting to get more involved now, a couple of good runs and crosses into the box.

 

[Blackpooljack]

Oh for a striker

 

[bakajack]

Agree, but in the second half he showed he’s much better on the ball and has better distribution than cabango. Maybe he’s yet another centre mid rather than a centre back?

He punted a cracking 50 yard crossfield ball to Congreve in the second half and another time he turned a defender and carried the ball about 30 yards to the edge of the box and put in a decent ball towards Thomas which was cut out.

That kind of play from the back is invaluable, he is only 19 so he has time to cut that defensive frailty out of his game. If he can he can be some player but right now its a real achilles heel for him.

Some meaty challenges going in from them
