Hey people I'm just home...
Tbh that performance has dampened my optimism a little.
First Half -
Started brightly with Oldham having a trialist in goal and parrying Cash's effort in from a good cross from Robinson.
From this point onwards it just goes downhill tbh, I thought Bridcutt & Watson where terrible.
Watsons reactions to everything where just so slow and Oldham completely dominated our midfield in the first half.
There no22 in particular having a good game. Worrall got his first 45 minutes in and did ok & Dawson was solid as a rock, all our attacking flair seemed to come from Soudani who was our best player until he got substituted.
Soudani broke away a couple times clean through and seemed to choose the wrong option with his shot but used skill and cleverness a lot to beat his man and win free kicks, he looks a good player.
I hope Colback can be the difference because Bridcutt to me looks not good enough, he gave every pass away and was just generally sloppy just was Watson.
2nd Half.
Up until the subs came on around 72mins we did nothing in the second half in fact our play was worse, we conceeded 2 goals once Lam came on and he again showed he isn't good enough so I feel that will be the end of him.
Gabriel did ok, but again doesn't look ready yet a lot of balls out touch and just a lot of general sloppy play from everyone.
72 mins - subs come on... we start to look much better.
Dias gets the ball and just want's to beat everyone with skill power & pace... he's clearly full of confidence and did well once he came on.
Carvalho had an instant chance to equalise but blazed it over and his first few touches where all off then all he goes and creates a sublime chip over 2 defenders to leave Grabban with just the keeper to beat which he does placing it in the bottom right corner.
There where flashes of what can be when the Portugese lads came on we looked 10x better, Lolley was poor in general and not really in the game also.
Scunthorpe on Wednesday and there needs to be a huge improvement, I think the Portuguese contingent will start and we will be much better for it.
Central midfield now is a worry for me, but Guediora came on and looked much better than Watson who was just a yard off for me.
Onto Scunthorpe.
