Full team:

 

Rogers, Harrington, Harvie, McKenna, Arnason, Tansey, F Ross, Wright, Storey, Maynard, Rooney

 

Subs: Craddock, Storie, Roscoe, Mbayo, Wells, McLennan, Anderson

Not so very long ago that would have been a decent first team for us. Shows how far we've come.

So anyone in attendance? If so how did Kari get on?

He did OK. Had the back four organized and was dangerous in their box. No Ash Taylor moments that I can remember.

 

It's clear why Storey doesn't get a game though. No ability to read the game and made a number of poor runs on and off the ball. Think he'll go this window if we get Moult or May in.

I can't see why we'd keep him as it stands. He's 4 choice for a game upfront and has GMS, Stewart and Wright probably ahead of him in wide positions. We'd probably play Christie or maybe even Rooney wide ahead of him too. If we were to get another striker in then I'd say it's more likely to be Stockley under threat as he'd have Rooney, Maynard and the newby ahead of him and he's not exactly capable of playing elsewhere as far as I'm aware.

 

Edit: Maloney still meant to be signing too which would be another in his way of a game. A loan is an option but with his contract up next summer, maybe little point, but would still give us the option to offer him a new contract if we fancied keeping him after that. Think we'll have bigger fish to fry however

Team played a 4-4-2

 

Rogers - A couple of shaky moments. Very good distribution. At the wrong end to see if he should have done better with their goal but it did look postage stamp.

Harrington (RB) - looks a very good find and wouldn't bother trying to sign more cover for Logan

Harvie (LB) - also looks a very decent prospect so hopefully gets a decent chance this season

Arnason (rCB) - strolled through game with little hassle. Grabbed the headed goal from a Tansey corner

McKenna (lCB) - caught out a couple of times but his brute force style certainly offers us something different to the other centre backs at the club

Wright (RM) - you could tell he's stepped up a bit this season with a few runs but nothing particularly came off

Ross (CM) - not his normal position and didn't see that much of the ball

Tansey (CM) - good game and a great range of passing

Storey (LM) - if he had a football brain he'd be a superstar. Finds it so easy to get in the game but wastes the ball continuely.

Rooney - Quiet game though he did hit the bar early on. A little bit off the pace and would be surprised to see him starting on Thursday

Maynard - Unlucky not to get on the score sheet. It looks like he could have something but will we give him the chance and enough minutes to rediscover it

The subs were all in the last ten minutes so not much to report

 

It's very hard to see Storey and Storie not being binned shortly

Remarkably similar to a post which appeared earlier on Pie & Bovril...
