Well that was pretty good! We have the makings of a good side and a young one too. Obviously making 9 changes affected the 2nd half performance, but the starting XI looked good and I'd imagine it will be pretty close to that next weekend.

We played very well in the first half, Swinners.
I'd say we are a few players away from a really good side.

There are promising signs, particularly when it comes to midfield and having players who can play with the ball at their feet and make quick decisions - hopefully we won't give up possession as easily next season.
For me it will all come down to whether Davey can be more flexible with his starting 11. As I see it, when fit, only Pickford, Branthwaite, Garner and Ndiaye should be nailed on starters.
Everyone else needs to be rotated and played based on form or the needs of the game. Also, we should be making a lot more substitutions this season as we have players that can offer different things - less of the predictable sale changes every game at the same time nonsense.
