How were Dibling, Hackney, George and Armstrong in the match last night then?

They were all ok. Hackney played 45 minutes. Armstrong played most of the game. Rohl was on the longest and had a good game, but, as Seamus was when he first came, not a Tony Hibbert. If he is to become a right back, it's a work in progress. He's as much a right back as Jimmy Garner is, not natural but effective and good going forward. If we went to 3 at the back and played him as a wing back, he linked well with dibbling, who looked better and was better in the middle, running at goal.
Hope that helps GB. Did you know you can watch all the preseason away games through the club? They're £5.99 per game, or the bundle for all 6 was £25, or £20 if you're an official member or season ticket holder. I've been doing that through my phone and screen casting it to the telly.

Thanks for that, mate, cheers.

Thing that I find amusing is that it's us lot that cry for DM to play the youth ('cause he doesn't play them, doesn't give them a chance') , then when he does, and we don't register a goal on target in a friendly it's 'get rid of DM'. ? Really doesn't make any sense.

He did play youth, but the tactics were same old dross. Think it's become bigger than the lack of playing youth. Aznou ended up running as much towards his own goal as towards the opposition when he had the ball because Moyes' tactic of sideways or backwards.
We can't break down teams. Need to attack before the opposition are fully set. Otherwise it's down to winning a set piece and hoping for something from that.
