Excellent performance overall, against one of the strongest squads in the league. We pretty much dominated the game and though they did have a few very good chances themselves, we should have had the game won by then.
The new guys all did well and with some more games under their belts will be even better, as they get to know their team mates.
As I've always said, Geddy is a class act, and now he's had a good pre season he is showing it again. Awesome.
Both Colback and Fig looked a little rusty, but did well regardless. Contrary to some I thought Osborn was excellent. His work rate is phenomenal and I thought he did really well against a very good winger. I also thought Darikwa did well. No one seems to have mentioned the two great covering challenges he made to prevent WBA break always and he made some good runs forward. He was always free and available and if Lolley in particular had spotted him, he would have been clean through on several occasions.
That brings me to Lolley. Worked his socks off, but his decision making in the final third needs to approve. It was abysmal last night. On 4-5 occasions he could have either scored or slipped someone in, but each time he made the wrong decision. He was otherwise excellent, but needs to show more composure.
I thought Grabban did fine, just needs more game time. Looking at the two strikers they were able to bring on when chasing the game, for me highlights why we need another striker. We didn't really have another striker to come on and get us a goal if needed.
I still thought we looked a little suspect from crosses into the box and I was a little frustrated after we scored that we didn't go all out for a second and finish the game off. After we scored, we had several really good break away opportunities, but didn't press it, just turned back and played it backwards. If we had stopped messing about like that, we would have won that game.
But overall, really impressed.
