At least it looks like we plan to continue playing the same style of football as we did last season. 

Alfred seems to like a few more forward passes than Jens too. So that should be interesting.

Early days, but it looks like we have a plan.

And someone mentioned, first half we put in a lot of crosses so perhaps Thor might be heading (sorry for bad pun) for a good season?

Considering there were quite a few sub optimal factors going into this match I thought we performed well.

Priestmann and Fadinger were excellent.

Sharpness and fitness will increase and so will understanding between the players.

We lacked a physical presence in general and a cutting edge up front but I'm sure we will address that and we were missing our four first team centre forwards tonight.

Overall a decent win with improvements to come.

All in all I was pretty happy with tonight, the defence looked a bit at sea occasionally but that was mainly due to being unfamiliar with each other. I could pick a few holes here and there but given that it was a scratch, and very young team, I was pretty happy with what I saw.

Quite enjoyed that tonight, 2 cracking goals.

Moorman was good.

Euan Wilson gives me the fear whenever the balls goes anywhere near him, he just isnt very good.

Once we get to know each other and get 3 to 4 new sigings then hopefully we can kick on!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Mon the Well

Don’t quite understand the comments on Wilson - from my view he had a solid game and had some good interchanges with Williams in attacking sense.  Noticeable that manager kept him on the pitch for the whole game and trusted him in central role when Longelo came on.  
he might not be starter ahead of Longelo / Williams but nothing I saw gave me the fear.

I'm not sure why Ewan Wilson is being picked on tonight, I wasn't too impressed with him under Kettlewell, and I presume JBA didn't fancy him either, but he got forward well tonight and linked up with Williams on several occasions, and when he moved to centre half when Longello came on he looked comfortable playing the ball out.

He will be third choice behind Longello and Williams on the left, and may fall further down the pecking order depending on signings, but he looked ok tonight.

He is the whipping boy.  I don't get it. He done just fine tonight.  I love Said and his enthusiasm but he made more mistakes yet gets less criticism

Hindsight is a great thing, sitting last night in the wee hours thinking about this game and how they would consider us as opponents? what threat are we to them? Like the Alan Moore's Watchmen quote "I'm not locked in with you, you're locked in with me!"

We are the big team, and it showed, not perfect, but perfectly acceptable.

I was unsure what to expect tonight but in the end I thought there was an obvious difference in ability between the teams.

That's not to say they did not give us some nervy moments. 

I thought Fadinger was a class apart tonight. Preistman was excellent and will provide must needed continuity from last season. Said was characteristically frustrating. His end product is awful at times..

I had the fear about Vogt given the slating he got last week but looks like there is a player there after all.

I think 3-0 would have made the perfect night but as it is the tie is still very much alive. 

Hibs showed what can happen so altogether a very satisfying evening.
