The U's were just edged out by their Premier League visitors in an entertaining match.
Rooney - looks like an inspired signing! Awesome headed goal. Unfortunately scored at both ends. Impressive young player.
Dickenson - played almost 30 minutes. It looked like he had never been away. Delivered a number of superb crosses and is what we have been missing. Not lost any pace and outsprinted his opposite number on most occasions. Frankly, I would put him on the bench on Saturday assuming that his stamina is adequate to offer 30 minutes..
Gondoh - (careful as predictive text insists on condom) looks a fine skilful player too. Needs to beef up a little, but troubled the visiting defence. Would like to see him with his Maldon & Tiptree buddy Junior, but I guess he is in Saturday's First XI squad (and is over age 23).
Where the U's lost this match was because a couple of the very youngest team members carelessly gave the ball away in situations where there were easier options and we were ruthlessly punished by a class centre forward (Baker-Richardson). Those mistakes apart, we looked like the better side for much of the game. |  |
