Points of Note:
With Hunt & Missilou on the bench, we had more of a 'technical' team out than usual. This along with the less intense nature of the game enabled us to play a lot more football and keep the ball on the deck a lot more.
Hamer is looking a big lad, he's filling out his frame and looking faster. He's far better with the ball at his feet than Hunt and Graham and should be starting or at worst the first choice when making a defensive substitution. He could make a hell of a lot of progress this season if given game time.
Maouche looked like a rolls royce. If he could take this into a blood and thunder league match he'd be playing every week. Changes direction very quickly and passes forward when it's on. It was noticeable he would point and direct the other midfielders around. You feel he needs at least 4 or 5 continuous league games to see how he does and then we'd all know one way or the other if he is up to it or not.
The 90 minutes will do Lang the world of good. Loved how chuffed he was to score and the way the players celebrated with him was nice to see. He's more skillful than Surridge, just not as direct.
Lyden is a Lee Cattermole type, will he stay fit because Missilou will find himself on the bench if so.
Surridge is a goal machine. Loves to run with the ball and while he never seems to do anything spectacular, he just scores. Really hope Bournemouth don't do to us what Wolves did to Coventry with Nazon.
