A bit surprised Morris isn’t starting, while McAlear ahead of Hughes for a place on the bench? Assuming Merrie isn’t fully fit either. It will be interesting to see how it goes.

Can't see us getting bullied in midfield with Lewis and Walker in there. Hopefully will let Hendry pull the strings with Walker ping nice passes from deeper.

Badly need a presence up top. Jennings ok but need Norris and Dennis on.

Not convinced with 4-3-3.

As last season, lots of huff and puff but no end product

Walker way off the pace. Nowhere near fir enough to showcase his ability.
Hendry to many touches for me.
Leake looks a real find. Incisive passing.
Agree with Sparky re no presence up Top.

There's been effort but not much end product. We certainly need some natural strikers on the pitch. We can get back into this but need changes.

Don’t think Walker has played much pre-season so seemed a bit of a gamble to start with him, though a better defensive mid option than Lewis. Sounds like we’re still deficient in the creating, so just switching forwards won’t cut the mustard.

We actually had two very good chances. The first when Hawkes couldn't beat the keeper and the second when Jennings was through but the ball got trapped under his feet.

I'd rather have a fit Lewis in there Boz. Walker has the class, but he didn't have the energy to run into a space to receive a ball, or to deter opponents running past him.
