I've neither the time or the patience to write a review on today's game, plus there's fellas on here who do a much better job than I ever could. I Just thought I'd throw a few positives out there before bed.
-Jack O'connell read the game well, looks confident on the ball (at the right time) knows when to get rid, uses his strength in the right way and looked a threat in their box in the last 15min of the game.
- Sharp looked a thousand times more up to speed with the game than he did at Stocksbridge. Beat Davies for speed and strength at one point which was brilliant to see.
- Although Hussey's crossing went to shit just after I explained to my old man what a good delivery he had, I really enjoyed seeing him today and having a relatively big -yet mobile left back is a breath of fresh air.
Fleck- basically what we've needed Wallace for these last 2 seasons. Constantly available, great eye for a FORWARD pass and looks to pull the strings and dictate the game.
DCL- Brilliant, and I'm not his biggest fan. I would have snapped Evertons hand off for 1m but today his touch was much better than I've ever seen. Let's be fair nobody has seen him play more than Wilder with him being there last season, so if he thinks he should be in contention to start for us than so do I.
Brooks- now I know very little about him and I can count the times I've seen him play on one hand but I think we are on to something with this lad.
Il be honest I said the same about Khan and probably got it wrong but with this kid I'm pretty sure he can make a splash with us and maybe as early as this season.
He seems to glide, Scoogall does the same but never has the ball truly under control(he seems like he's always playing on a really steep hill where the ball is always running away from him too quickly) where as David's touch and balance seem fantastic. He looks direct, fearless, and has a good delivery.
I wanted a new target man, a better version of Bash for centre midfield, another center half and a tricky, quick winger.... I think I can now knock that final one off the list.
*not really a positive but did anyone see how mardy Sparky got when Sharp netted his second? They might be team mates but I doubt Wilder will ever play them together so in friendlies like that, why the hell would you pass to the lad who's vying for your position!?
I really enjoyed today.
