just got back....
cant be bothered to write in depth!, so ill just point out a few of my thoughts....
Zoltan - really pleased. good passer, good header = i feel will turn out to be an excellent signing
hooper - definitely looking good(and only 19!)
Baily - better than sat as said before, did some excellant things, yet some poor mistakes/passes. great tackler though....with time, will be good.(allready can see he is a better footballer than gutteridge - who you cannot deny was excellent in league one)
gilbert - classy, quick(very) committed, despite being fairly slight in build. as said before, i think thats quite a coup getting him tbh.
foran - worked his socks off! total commitment, tackled with purpose and also put in a decent performance - and a nice goal.
JCR - why wont you pass it!!! looked good - but NO end product. I think Black will turn out to be much more valuble a player to us(despite being very off when he came on - but i get the impression he will add much more quality/vision in end product)
Conclusion
have to say,our squad is looking most pleasing. quality and skill flows throught the side and having been impressed with liptak/gilbert, i think our defence worries will be sorted! yes! chufed on the whole - its coming together well. the competition in midfiled is fierce, with many skillful AND commited AND tough tackelling players fighitng for places.
....just need that striker dont we - apart from that, we're very close to being a formidable force in legue one. At last i truly feel we have quality, desire and commitment in depth - potentialy we could have a very good season.
