Credit to the players today they were all outstanding.
I was worried we would be vulnerable today to their wide players and although at times we were I thought on the whole we coped ok. If we persist with 4 at the back though I still wouldn't mind a bit more depth and quality at full back although saying that we do have Burroughs and Eyoma to provide cover.
Going forwards would also like to see us getting to the opposition byline and getting more crosses in. Hackett provides quality but he doesn't drive to the byline that much so hopefully that is one of the areas we are still looking to strengthen this season and we can find someone to provide more ammunition for the front two.
Understand the desire to get game time into other players but I was surprised we replaced the most dangerous player on the pitch. He has a lot of the attributes to be successful at a higher level, just add a bit of composure and a pair of shinpads.
Also glad we got to see a bit of Draper's abilities today. Having followed him closely in Ireland and Warsaw I know he has got a lot more to show and he will improve bundles in the future.
