First half saw us have one proper attack and score. Being completely out passed in midfield and look all over the place in defence.
Hoping for a better second half.

Lucky win that. Beto wasn't going to get to the cross and their defender turned it in to win it for us.
Played better once subs were made. The most promising thing was Moyes made subs before 70mins! Absolutely shocked by that.
Bringing on Armstrong, Alcaraz, Graham (needs to bulk out) , Aznou and Beto gave us more attacking options. More pressing and forcing errors from opposition.
Sadly, Dibling was not in the game (in my opinion) . Need to stop playing him on the wing as he did nothing. Give him a go at 10 and see what he can do.
Rohl didn't stop running. Really impressed with the engine on the kid. Thought he played well.
My starting XI for next game would be:
Travers (when is Pickford back?)
Aznou.
Branthwaite.
Tarks/OBrien.
Rohl (until we sign someone) .
George.
Hackney.
Alcaraz (until Garner is back) .
Graham (until Ndiaye is back) .
KDH.
Beto.
Subs:
Bring on Dibling for KDH.
Armstrong for Alcaraz.
Some of the other youngsters to give them a run.
Barry for Beto (75th min earliest) .

Does DM making subs at half time in previous friendlies not count or something??

Not for me, FBS. Half time subs tend to be forced when a player is injured or really poor. Nice to see subs around 65-70 mins to influence games. The subs did well today. Brought life to the side and we played better with them on. Wonder if they could do it from the off..
