How can you tell how good Silvera, Gilbert and Van Berg are.

We don't really know what to do with it in their half, keep giving the ball away when we try to attack

Typical first game, balls slightly misplaced and rushing a bit.

We seem too predictable at the minute. It's not just missing Giles' early deliveries but it's missing Smith on the right hand side as well. Last season it was less predictable, we may work the ball inside, or we may swing it in any time the ball goes out wide. Much harder to defend against. This season we just seem to work the ball back inside over and over again.
It's not worrying me too much though. We're missing important players. A lot of the new signings look good.
Barlaser is disappointing me though, his decision making is letting him down.

Barlasers been our best player for me, the only one looking up and trying to do anything with the ball. Crooks, McNair and McGree have been far worse.

That's a good sign.
It's in the Crooks playbook to perform like a bag of $hite for an hour solid until everyone is screaming for him to be hooked, before popping one in.

Crooks wasting a position on the pitch at the moment.

Don't agree with that. He's trying things but he has overran the ball more than once and gave the ball away most of the times he's tried to move it forward. It's hard for either Crooks or McGree to do anything if the passes never reach them.

They are both too static and not moving around, if they were we’d have passes on but they don’t. They are coming short to him constantly.

I said that just as McGree gave the ball straight to them.... I think the "first game of the season" assessment is correct. We look a little disjointed.
Dieng looks very good with the ball at his feet. Perfect replacement for Steffan.
The Laws of the Games already allow up to 15 substitutes on the bench. It's up to the competition organisers how many can be named and how many can be used - up to a maximum of 5 in "an official competion" during normal time.
