I can see why Oreilly is highly rated

Bogarde and O'Reilly have looked really good since they came on. Young looks like he might become a very good player as well.

The kids have looked very impressive since they came on.

Buendia needs upgrading .   Ok for the bench but not a first starter

That’s exactly where he will be on the bench.

I’d like to have seen Rory Wilson or Louie Barry as part of the run out. We don’t have many forward options

I didn't catch much of the first half but from what I've seen Buendia has looked like the kid getting a bit of experience and O'Reilly has looked like the established player coming on for a bit of fitness.

I agree, Kellyman looks very raw and is being bullied a bit.

Some of the second half substitutes looked good. Scrappy game that I don't think tells us much, but still good to see a match again.

Bogarde was the pick of the subs for me. If the plan is to bring him through as a right back then I'd be happy to see a temporary option like Meunier come in for 12-18 months and let him and KKH fight over earning a spot.

Didn't we get relegated when we did?

Same here, a draw will do on our first run out.

Wouldn’t surprise me. We never seem to do any good when we do.

Yea this team of millionaires couldn't even beat a third division outfit and they are telling us that another 30K are waiting  to buy season tickets.

O'Reilly looked the pick of the kids. Wasn't taking any shit as the game got a bit more physical.
