Thought we held the ball pretty well and passing was decent on the whole, just the final third was sometimes overplayed.
I feel that the wingers in the first half were more effective and would love to see them paired up with the strikers from the second half (Sid & Montano out wide, with Charlie Mac and JCH).
Good to see so many players capable of playing in midfield and what looks like good quality.
Thought Smith got involved a lot more when Wes went off too.
Connor Brown didnt seem to do much wrong to me, so maybe he has an injury.
Agree that Mellor has a lot to learn about playing CB, not that I can talk as I am a keeper.
Now, I am not bad mouthing Baxter as he scored and made some good runs and passes, but I felt we were more creative up front when he moved out wide (out of the way) allowing the CM to be more creative. Hoping we arent building a team around a formation that limits the team.
Not unhappy, but not inspired, in saying that it was a friendly, despite their fullbacks putting some aweful tackles in. Their number 2 was dirty, but also put in some excellent blocks.
