Why.. because they lost a meaningless friendly?

Fitzsimons, Barrows, Kougun, Evans, Denton, Kelly, Scales, Clunan, Roberts, Law, Whitehall all played.
What’s next?
I know its only a friendly on a shocking pitch but any stand out performances , how did the newbies do ??
Seems like a fair few rocked up over 2000 ..
Fitzsimons – Can tell he’s a pretty good keeper, very vocal, always wanted a pass back, good distribution BUT he is very calm for my liking when attackers are closing him down he nearly got caught out.
Barrows – Best of the 2 CB’s in the 2nd half for me, seemed to be quite composed on the ball and even when attacking he didn’t look like a defender who had stayed upfront as he had a decent touch and didn’t panic.
Kougun – Didn’t have that much to do really, fairly solid player
Evans – Didn’t realise we had a man mountain as a CB till I saw him, should cause alot of problems in the oppositon box
Denton – Wanted to go forward alot more than he did, quite nippy and should be a threat, lack of height might go against him
Kelly – Didn’t see much action got forward well to link up with Law at times
Scales – Very impressive RB even though he’s a midfielder (I’m led to believe?) Got forward at every opportunity, quick and brilliant joining the attack
Clunan – Can’t say I saw much of him, got the ball a few times and gave it to a teammate without hassle
Roberts – Not the quickest of wingers but has the ability to turn full backs inside out, hopefully stays fit as he would be a dangerous player for us
Law – Did well on the left when doubled up at times had alot of the ball and should’ve scored when through on goal but dragged wide
Whitehall – Didn’t seem to get much service but think he will be an absolute nonsense to everyone including the officials

Madden must be the most overrated player in the last 20-30 years of the club’s history, I think people just romanticise him because we’ve had so much dross since he left. But he was nowhere near the strikers who had come in the years before him (not fit to lace Hayes’ boots, for example).
Wootton has definitely matured physically and in terms of understanding his game since leaving the Iron but there was definitely potential there. He was better than anyone signed to replace him.
Always thought Jarvis looked pretty decent for me, although never likely to be that prolific he could have made an adequate own brand Steve Torpey for us this season.
Nowhere near the most overrated.. 100% top professional who always gave his all and rarely injured.

Jimbob ought to give Dan Gallimore an extended run at CH.
I know he’s a midfielder… but he may make a good CH.No thanks

Perfect signing, just what we needed. All we need now is a competent CB with pace to replace Taft and we’ll be a lot better.
I’d sooner replace Boyce.. so slow it’s not even funny and every pass is to the opposition or the fans!

I’m expecting loans to feature heavily!
I hope not. They are killing the game.
Small Clubs gain no long term benefit.
Develop your own.
Or, spot and buy (cheap as chips) a rough diamond from lower down the pyramid.If it wasn’t for loanee’s we’d of been in the National League a long time ago if it wasn’t for a certain Steve MaClean
No Dawson, Lansbury, Cork, Yates, Toney, Keogh we wouldn’t of been graced of their talent!

Curtis Woodhouse… done a cracking job in non league with limited resources.
LOVES 4-4-2
Has even said he would do it for free until Xmas to show what he can do.
Got nothing to lose I say!
