Missed the weekend's game as I was away. Saw the goals but that was it.
With that in mind, I was keen to watch today's game and see some of the new boys and youngsters play. If nothing more, it confirmed we need further reinforcements if that's our first team back up.
Obviously you can't judge a player on one game, but if I was a betting man, I'd say that none of those youngsters are going to make it at Championship level. I just didn't see anything in any of them. A couple of the lads we brought on at the end looked like absolute donkeys. You sometimes wonder how these players ever make it pro...
As for the senior players, I thought Frabotta showed positive signs. Looked athletic, wanted to get forward and whip balls in.
That was about it really.
Diakite showed some nice touches, but was poor for the goals. Cole did well for the goal, but was absent otherwise. Dobbin showed a couple of nice touches but was largely absent. If you're not going to impose yourself on teams at that level, I can't see how you'll do it in the Championship. If we think he's going to replace Johnston, I fear we're going to be bitterly disappointed.
Not going to blame Corberan for his selection because we can't afford to take any risks with our paper thin squad. We're not going to win the league cup anyway, so what's the point? His subs were just to preserve those who will be involved in the seniors.
