Not the only one going backwards, he showed good awareness and made some good passes, mixed with some poor decision making and execution but that's to be expected from a young player making his full league debut. Other more experienced players had similar or worse games, he was sacrificed at ht for overall poor team performance and the need to change shape. .Thought Chapman played well but did a lot of passing the ball backwards
We've only played well in 1 out of 4 games so far
Need to find a settled starting XI for league games as that is the only way we will gel. Pett should start, so should McCartan, so should Wharton (if fit) with Bossie in mf. Not too sure about the forwards but inclined to keep Akinde as sub for now.
Also looks like we have an injury in the one position we have no cover for, at Right Back. Hopefully Eardley will have recovered in time for the weekend.
i haven't seen one decent ball through for akinde yet, or a decent cross for him to attack. the only goal from open play he made himself. a quick look at his showreel and it is clear to see where he is at his most dangerous.

Pett was excellent again. So pleased he has turned out not to be Billy Knott MkII. He's not quite Woodyard, but he gives energy in the midifield that isn't coming from anywhere else.
OS still showing McCartan as scorer (also BBC etc) although the match report correctly credits Freck. Is this a case of functionality/feed from the site supplier being unnoticed of cannot be overwritten locally?
I think 80% of his touches for us have been with his back to goal too
I believe the majority of sites use OPTA now and it doesn't look like they have updated it as most are still showing McCartan as the scorer.
