I thought it was an encouraging performance, despite the scoreline. We conceded four but, as has been commented, one was a gift after an error from Doohan when he tried to play out, and the movement and finishing for the others was of a higher standard than we will face in League Two.
We actually looked dangerous throughout and created a number of chances, and the score does not really reflect the game. On another afternoon Hemmings would have had two or three.
I thought McAlear was excellent again, with some lovely touches in addition to a good finish for the goal. I think he will be a big player for us this season and will score goals from midfield. Both full backs were very adventurous, with Bristow impressive again. Robinson played as the left of the three centre halves and looked quite comfortable on the ball. It is good to have three left-footers in the squad and natural balance on that side.
Of the players that came on in the second half, I thought Nolan and Hughes were tidy on the ball and did well, but Mumbongo was fairly anonymous against a better standard of opposition. It is difficult to judge a trialist when neither of the games he featured in were against League Two opposition. The other trialist was a right sided centre half and did not particularly impress, going awol for Huddersfield's fourth goal.
In Doohan's defence, he made a couple of very good saves with his legs in addition to his error.
I am still quietly encouraged by the football we have played in pre-season.
