Went to the game expecting to see our team prove we can beat teams that are better than pub teams. Warnock described this as 'the perfect test'. Heres a summary:
Kenny - Did not impress me at all. Looked shaky and spilt a few balls, bad communication with the defence almost lead to a pass back being an own goal
Orr - Didnt look very good, mediocre performance. Can't say he was better than leighterwood was at right back last year.
Hall - He was ok in the air, doesn't have any positional sense at all
Connolly - Gave away a blatant penalty at the start after he was done for pace
Hill - Very average looked quite composed though
Leighterwood - Can't pass to save his life, very good physical attributes but he isn't a very good footballer
Buzsaky - Decent performance
Faurlin - Good display, brilliant passer of the ball
Ephraim - He missed a sitter near the end but he looked a different player to the one we saw last season, he wasn't afraid to take a man on and actually delivered some end product
Mackie - Good performance, he didn't stop running and deserved his goal
Ageymang - Looked like bambi on ice, he is pony, get rid.
Subs
Gorkks - Ok
Derry - looks like his legs have gone, he lost the ball a few times and struggled to win it
Parker - First time i've ever focused on him, but he looks very good and he isn't scared to take a man on. He is quick, dangerous and has an end product. Very good throw is aswell.
Helguson - He is sh*t, can't win a header and missed a great chance from about 5 yards out (at most). Very slow, overweight and lazy.
German - Didn't do much
Franck Moussa - Trialist released by southend, was on for last 10 minutes. Think he touched the ball once and when he did he managed to lose it. Has pace to burn though
The defence looked very very slow, we were done for pace a lot.
Not impressed at all; the only ones that impressed me were ephaim, parker and mackie. If this was the 'perfect test' then we have failed it. We played a lot of hoofball aswell.
