Boekhorst played his best game so far for the club and Weitering looks like a 300 game player.....
Kerridge looks like a steal and could be our leading goalkicker the way things are looking....its a pity Foster hasnt shown anything as we need a leading FF who can give us
some structure down forward....
Not a bad effort though tonight and at least we were not blown away and hung on when it looked like we were going to get hammered...
Good summary EB. We have the basis to build on going forward and we should get better this year as our guys get used to the new game plan and structures. We definitely are showing more of an idea with our approach but skills still let us down at key times.
The forward structure, as we already knew, is the biggest problem and we have just got to find a better approach for this year with those we have on our list. It has got to be a first priority in terms of recruiting going forward. Levi was a bit disappointing tonight IMO and 1AW definitely looked rusty. Very encouraging game from Boekhorst IMO, but Daisy is definitely struggling despite the effort he put in tonight. Weitering looks like becoming an absolute beauty!
We look like we have turned the corner and hopefully we can win a few games this year but definitely have a long road ahead of us. As one of the commentators said though, the club will be ruthless with those that don't demonstrate the required level of progress and adaptation to the required playing style.
Reality always wins in the end.
