Surprised with the team when It was announced. I thought Dean had lost his marbles but for the most part it worked really well. I suspect Beestin hadn’t been doing as much work as he should have been doing in training in the past because after Dean had them all doing fitness work for a week and worked them harder in training, Beestin seems to be back to the Beestin that would actually get around the pitch.
Young Bunker though, what a player. 19yr old and played calm and composed like a veteran…he was solid as a rock. Richards Everton, I feared was going to be a dud as there were 2 sets of fans saying he was shite but he was superb. Butterfield was the usual Butterfield and was outstanding.
Young Leake looked a lot better at LB and Chapman made a huge difference so a lot to be optimistic about. I’d like to know what happened to big Gerry Mcdonagh. I looked forward to seeing how he fared after his goal last week.
Elliot was ok in patches but as somebody else said above, not sure he’s suited to the lone front man role.
