My first friendly and to be honest was quite impressed (in the main).
First half our defence looked solid and if Gerrard had bothered jumping it could have been 0-0 at half time.
Spyrou and Mandeville looked very useful up front. Boden just didnt look comfortable all night and had no pace to beat a defender.
Gerrard needs to lose half a stone minimum and learn to jump, Rowley looked like a rabbit in the headlights, he was just totally out of his depth. Easily pushed off the ball and couldnt wait to get rid of it when he did get it at his feet - usually to an opponent .
Buchanon looked class and Evans was just superb. Hollis looked solid and didnt put a foot wrong nor did Weir who also started. Coddington looks a good find.
The rest were pretty average and am being generous to some of them.
It was a very hot night and take it for what it was, a premiership side against a non league side. I saw more positives than I expected and I only had 2 pints.
