Ronan (who seemed to be trying too hard) and Dicko (again tried hard but until the last 15 wasn't at the races) having games to forget.
Incredibly harsh on Ronan...he was the main player in the first half and key to a lot of good stuff we did!
On the game, pretty controlled the pace of the game without carving out too many clear chances. Should have been 1 up when Boly headed wide when unmarked 8 yards out but he put it wide. Other chances were 2 long range efforts from Ronan that went wide. We got some decent crosses in as well (apart from 3 corners in a row that were woeful but all led to another corner and on the 4th he created the chance for Boly) but no one could get on the end of them. There was a clear difference to how we set up v Boro in Midfield. Price sat deep on his own and Dave was set free (pointless asking him to do a Neves impression because as his first pass attempt showed, he can't). This did lead to some positives as Edwards main contribution came off the ball, at least 3 chances were created from his runs as he pulled a defender or 2 out of position and made space, mainly for Ronan. We won't see much of Dave this season though. Subs were made at the right time as the game was just starting to drift and Yeovil should have scored. Vinagre and Boly had a break down in communication and the Yeovil striker was 10 yards out, central and unmarked and beautifully scuffed it wide.
Felt for Dicko a bit as his position was keeping him away from the action (think he had 2 touches in the first 20 mins) but when we made the subs and he went back to being central he scored and created 2 decent chances for himself.
Good appearance for Bright and put the game back on track with his direct running and passing.
Like the look of Norris - No actual saves to make but he dominated his area, quick off his line and crosses were his and good distribution.
Boly is just a god - Never seen a defender take a hoofed clearance out of the air and turn his clearance into an acurate pass to a midfielder.
Graham did ok, considering he was playing in a new position and his first 90 mins for an age and of course he got his assist
Vinagre looks good, bit more settling in and Douglas will have some competition
Batth probably nailed down his spot as 4th choice, solid performance kept it simple and he was probably relieved that when he got the ball he wasn't expected to launch it forward. Did play one stunning 80 yard pass though
Bennett - Bang average really. Didn't do anything bad but didn't do anything to make you think he should be pushing to play. Another we will see very little of unless injuries take hold.
Leo - All about game time right now, but some good touches and one insane flick out wide that fooled 3 defenders and everyone in the North Bank
Normally a 1-0 win v a League 2 means the game was dull but I enjoyed watching what we are trying to do and with a lesser team than we had on Saturday. Some in the crowd are struggling with it though with a few gerrit forward shouts.
