Can see why the performance is lacking from us tonight.
We're through to the next round regardless of the result - Its another ridiculous fact about this competition, that the Group Games aren't all held at the same time, so this is the last game of our Group; Cambridge / Chelsea aren't playing tonight, so we know we're not in any danger... Like what you'd get in a World Cup / Euros format
However given our own League form, you'd expect / hope that the players involved tonight would put in a display that basically says: "Hey Gaffer, why arent you playing me, this is why you should be playing me" (Berry I'm looking at you for example) - But there is none of that out there!!
Otherwise this is just a classic EFL Trophy game.
Its just being made 10x worse because our League form isnt great.
Enslin definitely playing himself into consideration for more meaningful matches in the future - his passing and movement have been progressive and purposeful.
That will be trained out of him once he trains more often with the first team.
Ahadme heads on to Leaburn, sends it wide to Rylah, his cross isn't controlled by Ahadme ? and it's cleared. Nice bit of battling from Mitchell to get the ball to the edge of the area, Docherty puts the ball wide to Rylah but his cross is a bit overcooked.
Comments
1. Enslin
2. We aren't losing (yet)
Negatives so far:
Pretty much everything else
Not as much as us though
I thought we were just crap.
