Enjoyed the match last night , it was a very entertaining evening + well worth the tenner admission.
But some of the decisions by our management team was ridiculous. We had 2 of our trialists who must wonder why they wasted their time coming to the club. Firstly Don Cowan , a lightening fast striker. We desperately need a striker. What did Brown do? Played him wide midfield. He spent half the match tracking back the superb talent in Jordan Spence and we barely saw Cowan in forward positions. For what its worth Cowan battled really well but understandably became frustrated + took a few knocks during his many tackles he was making. What we dont need is yet another right midfielder, what we do need is a striker to join the lethargic + sluggish Eastwood + Corr ( which brings me to why the hell did Corr play 89 minutes when he was blatantly feeling his hamstrings after 40 mins?? .. if he is out injured for saturday i'll be spitting feathers that Corr was forced to carry on last night)
Which brings me to Bennet. In our squad we have Prosser,Straker,Barker, and recently signed Coker+White. I would say we have more left backs than Ron Martin has unpaid bills (well maybe not) So why the hell did we play Bennett at left back for 90 minutes. If he is on trial as a centre back why not play him there? We learnt nothing about those 2 trialists what a total waste of time.The positions we glaringly lack is down the spine of the team... Brown,Penney+Coughlin must have 2000 league games under their belt between them but it makes you wonder what planet they are on !!!!!!!!
i thought the strong tacking Clifford is worth another look ( he'll get plenty of red cards unless he learns not to lunge) + Thompson was very quick in thought at the back. Jack Payne showed some nice touches + great skills but not sure how he would fit into our team. Pinnock is rusty but looks a great prospect. Bentley made a few errors which he got away with but made up for it with some spectacular saves.
But the stand out player for us again was Ryan Auger. What an outstanding , asssured , clever player he is. He plays with confidence + composure of a player with 200 games under his belt + i would feel totally comfortable if he plays in the 1st team right now. His distribution is quality + he actually pings the ball on the ground , no hoofs. His running off the ball is excellent. This kid is certainly 1 to watch , i just hope we dont waste his talents kicking his heels in the reserves.
