Preston Reflection 18:20 - Aug 9 with 3707 viewsbluenwhite10

A mixed one today, but overall the positives outweighed the negatives .

The Good

1st half performance
The pace of Doku, Dembele going forward.
Morrison.
Esquerdinha
Mbengue (1st half and at Right back.
Morgan covering at Right Back
Burrell looks a handful.


The Poor

Not getting 3 points at home to Preston.
The second half performance.
Did not create much.
Being honest I thought if someone was going to win it was going to be Preston.
Lack of experience game management.

The Very Poor

The Officials
Conceding the way we did.

Summary

Really missed Varane and his bite and I am not sure if we can play Poku, Chair and Dembele together with Madsen playing instead of Varane as it lacks ball winning bite. The squad looked more balanced. Mbengue 1st 20mins of the second half he seemed to push up blind for offside leaving us open to the ball over top but that understanding will come in time

But overall walked away feeling we are going in the right direction and not to concerned about Left Back being a problem area but maybe a little concerned how we fell away ion the second half.

MOM today between Morrison .

Also I saw play no different today than how we played under Marti.

Come on you R’s.

Still look a bit lightweight but due to missing a few through injuries. Overall think we did OK, think we might have a better forward option with Burrell, looks keen and physical and improved the press late in the game. Afraid Celar overall just proved again the Championship is not for him, we need to see if we can offload him asap as he will hold up the likes of Burrell and Kolli playing up front, who look a better option.

This probably won’t go down well, but i thought Madsen did pretty good in the first half, he was kind of like a QB, receiving the ball, looking up and making some nice passes, and I thought Celar did okay, bring other players in and played his part in the goal too.

I thought we looked quick, and pretty scary for a defence to deal with. That didn’t stick in the 2nd half, and the injuries are a big concern.

At half time I was happy actually.
