Well, we’re 10 minutes in and we’re not losing.
This team doesn’t look like it was cobbled together. Wicky appears to have the well organized. 20 minutes in and they look cohesive.
Jake should take less shots.
James and Bartlett definitely got better in the off-season. James has been very good at recognizing danger and being in a good position defensively. Bartlett has had a couple of giveaways (to be expected), but has had a few really good line-breaking passes and has been good at cutting out dangerous passes.
Uh, who is on the depth chart behind Reynolds?
Ok. Now we need to see who will step up.
Still waiting….
On a bright note, Agyabeng looks good out there. Very tidy, keeps the ball well, and doesn’t misplace passes. Does not look out of place at all.
well you know expectations are low when commenters seem reasonably happy with 0-3…did we even force the other GK into a real save? i was only half watching so might have missed it
