• Just echoing a lot of the praise for the youngsters - Harrison was brilliant and Rohl did an excellent job at full back. Sure we could have conceded a couple but we could have scored a couple more too. Pleased for Barry getting his goal too as I thought he had a good game apart from the chance he fluffed....

• I was high in the south stand with a great view of our right defensive flank in the first half. Merlin Rohl made some excellent runs and contributions and he excites me as a player BUT, he is definitely not the answer for the right back vacancy. In fact, defensively he was poor and looked lost at times. I'm very surprised at some peoples positive reactions to his game there, especially that first half. Coupled with Tarkowskis alarming drop off that right hand side is a disaster in the making if its not addressed.
