Any other comments about who played well / not well from anyone who was there? or was it too one sided to be of any value?

In the first half particularly we looked high and wide early trying to release Parkhouse and Krishna. Not sure if it's going to be how we play or if it was to exploit the TWs back 3 though.

Kaludjerovic was solid, did everything expected of him, both wingers had lots of opportunities and did well, but also both wasteful at times.

Finkler was good, lots went through him and he embarrassed some TW defenders
in the 2nd half with some great skill. Paracki was motm for sure, quality on the ball and great at winning it back. Rufer drifted in and out of the game. He was ok but nothing special. Ridenton replaced him at halftime and scored a stunner and was far more involved. If that was an audition for the two of them, Ridenton won.

Backline didn't have a lot to do. Abbas and Mullen were solid, Galloway tried to do too much at times but also got forward well. Rossi had one bad touch I remember but got himself out of it.

Smith didn't have a lot to do in goal and the pen he gave away was before I got there.

Vidosic was good as well. Came inside a lot more than Parkhouse and was very effective. TWs falling to pieces seemed to be timed with our mass substitution, so maybe an indication of their preseason fitness. Overall an encouraging performance but hard to know what we can read into it.

Hailermariam (sp?) Was probably TWs best.
