Dijksteel, O'Brien, Thomas, Silvera

Dijksteel unsurprisingly rusty.

The rest were not bad.

Silvera had a decent shot from 25 yards that could have easily nicked a deflection, good quick feet at the start of Lath's first. Great run and cross that got to Azaz at the back post.

O'Brien also had some decent play.

Thomas didn't do much wrong, but I definitely think he is the poorest of the 3 left backs.
 
Thought O'Brien did okay.

Wasn't convinced on either fullback anyway, nothing proved against them playing against 30 mill plus of wide men ?

What did you expect??
 
We might has well have played with 2 traffic cones in the full positions for most of the game. The defensive holes for Leeds to play into were huge and we never seem to learn/change anything when there’s an obvious problem.

That’s down to Carrick but generally, there’s a lot of of players in our current squad who are really nowhere near good enough.
 
I like O'Brien. I wouldn't be upset if he came back on loan next season (but not as, like, #1 CM)

But very poor first half. Couple of driving runs but gave the ball away cheaply too often.
 
Though O'Brien was okay.

Made mistakes in the first half, but had some bright moments.

Can't argue with the other 3.
 
The game is a bit too physical for Silvera, loses 90% of challenges and hasn't got enough in his locker to avoid the challenges.

O'Brien is a trier, but nothing much going forward - understudy for Hackney.

Dijksteel was rusty and it cost us a goal.
 
O’Brien is very industrious but I’m surprised at how little actual quality he’s shown. Dijksteel was terrible, probably very rusty but will be gone in the summer. Thomas had a good first ten minutes and then reverted to type. Van den Berg had what was probably his worst game for us. The ‘keeper made a stupid error. He does seem to get away with a few things others don’t, Dieng. Two big mistakes in the past week or two. Silvera is not of the standard imo.

I do think there’s a nucleus there but we have a lot to do in the transfer market.
 
On Dijksteel people seem to forget he was brilliant under Warnock just lost his confidence with lack of games a move would suit him.The rest aren't bad players just as proved in the past Silvera is a confidence player and we will see highs and lows with him.People write players of to quickly.
 
Luke Thomas isn't good enough know that from first moment he played for us but we still keep playing him hope bangura is fit enough to end the season or Engel. Then I expect this is the last time we see Dijksteel belive he be gone in the summer
