Our weak links out there really made themselves evident, only so much Singh and Cacace can do.
Lewis had a poor start but really grew into the game - Garbett the exact opposite.
Crocombe really solid, holding his own ahead of Paulsen (who I hope gets his chance next game).
The subs unfortunately disrupted our momentum, Kosta and Old not really up to speed with our tactical requirements perhaps after being out of the setup for so long.
The League of Ireland boys can't be in the XI - nowhere near the consistency or ability required for an opponent of this level. Pijnaker had some great 1-on-1 duels, but his speed and lack of awareness are going to kill us. Bindon and Surman, both having standout seasons, are right there!
