I thought that when O'Brien got the ball in his hands he looked class, with that extra half a second that the top players seem to have. The trouble was that he only got the ball in his hands a few times and I spent a lot of time looking to see whether he was still out there.

O'Brien's pass around the defender that set Bridge away ( before his forward pass to Monas ) was the single finest moment of skill in the entire game. Sheer class.

Plenty of positives last night. There were far fewer daft errors and our completion rate seemed much better. I haven't watched it back on Sky yet, but I'd be interested to see if they gave the percentage out and how much it had improved. It was noticeable that Carvell and Wood in particular seemed to be trying to cut out the stupid offloads.



It was a really encouraging game from the youngsters as well. Dwyer looked a handful and showed great vision for his kick through, Chris Hill was one of our best forwards again, Currie looked a hell of a prospect for such a young lad and O'Brien showed glimpses of his class.



The defence in the first ten minutes was a bit of a concern, but considering how many changes there were from last week, I'm not surprised they didn't gel straight away.

Actually we had 10 players out.

awwwwww, shame

Any good ones?

i-pitchtastic!

Yes

no, i mean properly good ones

To be honest Watts,Marsh,and Winterstein are decent the others are average.But what you expect in the first season as good ones turned us down.Lockyer and Griffin turned us down and you can't do anything about that.Anyway I am used to us been .

Only 3 of those injuries have been sustained on the ipitch. The rest have happened away from home on Grass pitches.



HTH

Winterstein, Watts, Davies, Briscoe, Mullally, Kavanagh and Marsh, would all be likely first choice players. Either way, the team is incapable of defending, under the current coaching set up. So, I doubt it would have made a difference to the result.
