I'll kindly ignore the above post.
Mr Pook was pretty damn awful today, but he wasn't the only one.
I was sat right at the front of the main stand, near enough to the pitch that I could almost reach ouch to pull Commingues' dreads. I found it odd to be so close to the pitch, at ground level, but you get a good view of the players.
As already mentioned, we looked pretty solid at the back, and can't see us conceding too many goals next season. Commingues was good, and likes to get forward to support his winger, its a shame Vincent can't do the same.
I thought Ifil looked his typical self. Solid, but then made 2 major cock-ups in the second half in the space of about 4 seconds and their striker missed with only Brez to beat.
Aljiofree looked solid, but seemed a little hoof-ball for my liking.
The midfield was poor. All of them, except Easton who came on mid-second half. Both Pook and Adams made some shocking passes, some of them completely unexplainable! Boob and Roberts were poor at best. Roberts doesn't seem very interested. There were two or three opportunities for him to bomb down the right or left in support of the strikers, but he just jogged down the wing like a fawn in the Autumn.
Kaid was poor. One or two nice touches, but generally pants. No sign of this pace we've been told about either. Sturrock has talent, made intelligent runs and seems to know what he's doing. It does infuriate me when we've got 2 short guys up front, and the defence continues to hoof it up to them.
Jamie Mackie, the Exeter right winder looked a handful. Maybe Sturrock could pop a bid in there. He went round Vincent like he wasn't even there on more than one occassion.
Overall, it was a typical friendly. I will expect a much better performance next weekend. If not, we're in deep dump.
