Following the matchday thread I have had a little browse at I thought I'd share my thoughts for whoever wants to read/agree with/disagree with/laugh at or whatever.
Sinclair will be a huge fans favourite and rightly so. Seen him twice now and I usually give a player 6 or 7 games before making an opinion on him but this lad was absolutely everywhere. Defended, attacked, passed well, tackled, headed, pretty much did everything. Even got his own song now too which I hope catches on.
Taylor looks a cut above the rest, scored one, one chalked off for offside and missed one other but other than that he always wanted the ball, was great in the air for his size and had a great first touch. Will be key this season.
Parkes looked a totally different player to last season, much more composed on the ball and no aimless punts upfield. Should have scored though from Harrison's ball.
We more than matched Cov I thought but it wasn't anywhere near their first team. With the 3-5-2 in the first half we played better but didn't create as much. Nice football though which was far more pleasing on the eye than the dross we have put up with in the last 3 or 4 years.
Second half we went to 4-4-2 and then 4-3-3 and although we created much more chances we also didn't have as much of the ball and mainly looked more dangerous on the break. It will be interesting to see how we line up in the league knowing most teams will come to the Mem with 5 in midfield and one up top.
Overall a decent game which we deserved at least a draw from. Bring on Grimsby now, no idea what system/team we will put out but my guess would be
Mildenhall
Lockyer
McCrystal
Parkes
Leadbitter
Brown
Mansell
Sinclair
Monkhouse
Taylor
Brunt
Subs
White
Turley
Gosling
Clarke
new winger/striker
