The problem I'm seeing here is that some folk are looking at last nights game and thinking....
"That's it! That's as good as it gets for 2017. That's just about our best possible side."
but....
Inexperienced players will develop as the season progresses.
There will be a development in terms of combining as a team. That was the first game together for many under match pressure conditions.
On all lines (forward, mid, back) players will start to work out each others limitations and strengths and play to them.
Our starting 22 last night wont be our starting 22 at the end of the year.
Bolton will learn a lot too.
Actually on reflection, there were aspects of last night that suggested that we finally have the framework/skeleton of a decent side with the forward line looking much better...and a few youngsters showing a bit back.
Now to put some flesh on i!
