A game which began promisingly, but became rather frustrating. All of the players that impressed me in midweek performed pretty well again in the first half; Laird and Koumas ran the show in midfield, the centre halves looked pretty solid and Cole worked hard. We created numerous chances and should not have gone in one down.
However, when we made changes in the second half and ended up with a team of trialists and youth players, the game became a complete mess. Both full backs we played today and the trialist centre half were varying shades of awful, and we were defensively very poor when Holness and Ihiekwe went off.
The squad is too thin at the moment and we seriously lack depth in the defensive areas and out wide, in particular. We need to bin off the trialists and sign two or three experienced players with the money we have received from Everton and the Cresswell deal. If we don't, we will have to pray that our first choice back four can play all 46 games of the season.
