Really enjoyable match. Probably a fair result. If Frieser's goal would have stood it might have been a different story. Morris missed a few shots after great work to get into the position but then Bacuna missed a few as well. Benson looked good on the ball. He hit a free kick at least 20 years too far but we'll let him off on that one. A superb cross field ball to pick out Toby for the goal. Just watching that goal back, Toby did so well to control, knock it forward then finish across the keeper with such confidence. Kitching, Helik and Sibbick looked great. Such strength at the back. Brittain and Williams were perhaps a little cold but first game back, not too bad. Palmer was very good for most of the first half. Styles quiet but steady. He'll grow back into that position. Woodrow and Morris busy in attack without that composure in front of goal. Frieser fairly quiet but still offered something. Looking good for the season, especially with Mads and Herbie to come back and the new strikers to get up to speed.
A great point and a good performance. I enjoyed watching that. Looking forward to seeing this team develop under Schopp and how the new players integrate. Positive for the rest of the season.
Feel confident after seeing the game today that we’ll be looking up at the top six more than looking down at the bottom six. Assuming our signings come good we’ve got a really talented and powerful squad with plenty of options. Only worry now is the money that will start to trickle down the leagues with the recent transfers in the Premier League - Helik and Brittain just carried on as the were. Special mention for Kitching making his first ever Championship start. Looks a really solid prospect who will only get better.
Plenty of positives to be taken from an entertaining match and a very good point at a club we usually struggle against. I never thought I'd see Toby Sibbick as our leading scorer, though! I like the first glimpses of Josh Benson.
