A spirited effort from a group of players most of who really have little prospect of getting near the first team.
Preston- a good youngster who made a couple of good saves, he's good enough for our no2.
Higgins- good pace,kept going,good engine, maybe Smiths replacemnt
Greenslade- good youngster,improved as the game went on,
Mitchell- sorry,no pace,lacks hieght, made a couple of serious errors that should have been punished
Trotman - a big unit,ideal for us.
Ward-Baptiste- missed the easiest sitter,flitted about a bit,not impressed but may improve in time.
Broom- looks about 12 but improved as the game went on,a good attitude and lots of energy but wont be more than a sub at best.
Gosling- well worth the petrol money,this lad oozes confidence,was involved in everything,with Sinclair and Mansell around im he could emerge as a real star,someone should tell him he's not Ricky Lambert,his free kicks were his one weakness.
Thomas- Gave the ball away far too often but a nice touch and got involved,always wanted the ball.
White- Looks a bit overweight but is obviously a good footballer,plenty of running off the ball.He'll get goals.
Thompson- a gangly,awkward bugger,my mind went back to big Dev, maybe one to come off the bench and confuse the opposition.
Subs
Harrison-same as usual,useless
Lucas - beginning to fill out a bit,theres something about this kid I like,no where near the finished article yet though.
In summary,3/4 could feature but Gosling apart it wouldnt worry me if we didnt see any of them again.
