On trial and in today’s starting line up

Gone fwd quite well so far
Not under pressure at the back

You put your left leg in, your left leg out, knees bent, arms stretched ra-ra-ra! Chant sorted already. 😉

Left back eh? Season long loan perhaps. Intriguing. Would spell the end for Dixon, I'd imagine.

God, I hope so

If that who started at left wing back today then probably the outstanding player.  Good pace, good left foot.
Fox second half looked terrible.
Dixon was left sided centre back today and looked ok.

Agree Dixon looked ok. Koiki put in a brilliant cross for Hooper to volley home only to be (correctly) offside.

Koiki was the pick of the players in first half. Looked very good. Would definitely have another look on tuesday.

Strikers/wingers please

Strikers/wingers please

looking like wing backs may be the preferred set up this season on todays showing...and he looked well capable of playing that role.

Fox isn't really a wing-back, is he? Left-sided central defender, perhaps?

I would rather play him in left back.

Looks like Jolley was impressed and we are pushing ahead with a proposed loan move.

He looked an athlete and showed a nice piece of skill with a quality delivery for Hooper's offside effort.

If we're going with wing-backs this year, his positional sense was a bit off (solely based on one half in a meaningless pre-season opener).  Drifted in-field quite a lot and left his flank totally exposed,  I put that down to eagerness to impress in what was a trial game for him.

Definitely enough to be encouraged by though.

I think Fox is capable of playing as a wing back. He made some very telling runs from deep during his brief spell in the side. One particular run at BP, he went past several defenders and got right into the box, before putting in a decent cross. He surprised me because i thought he looked a bit clumsy at first, but he got better as he got games under his belt.
