A totally one sided match where rovers who fielded a strong side in each half, grabbed 5 but hit the woodwork 4 times and ran out very comfortable winners.
Two trialist players. One a left back who looked solid admittedly against a poor Vauxhall side. The other a quick winger who hit the post and was involved in a couple of goals. Looked very good but as I say, against limited opposition. Dont know their names.
Other observations:
Cook - looked very ungainly and doesnt looked like a footballer. That said, he put both his penalties away and tapped home for his hat trick. He clearly has goalscoring ability but it remains to be seen how he'll hook up with Norwood. For me, a player like Cook needs service from wingers. Not sure any sort of 4-3-3 type set up would work but time will tell.
Maynard - looked very good in a central defensive role. Athletic and very good in the air. Maybe an option and good competition from McNulty & Ihikwe.
Stephenson - only played first half up front. Very impressive. Quick and strong.
Others - Kirby looked sharp and Connor Jennings did ok in the middle of midfield with namesake Steve.
