[Lord Didsbury]

I might have been too harsh on the ref. Apart from the pen there was the mystery of the first half injury time and I think they should have had a pen first half for a trip in the box...but apart from that maybe he was ok.

Barlaser - I thought he looked very dodgy at first. Poor passing. Hopefully his later touches are more indicative of what’s to come. Didn’t really think Finley had such a good game yesterday, but at least we have options there at last. Brown not good enough to be a regular starter.

The big difference for me is that we are great down the wings providing there’s movement up front. Zanzala and Hall look to give us this.

I really like Sykes. I reckon he’s going to get a lot better too.

Hughes I’m still not sure about. He’s a complete rock at times, makes some fantastic blocks... but we are going to play better teams than we have played so far. Is he quick enough?

Think we’ve seen enough to know we are too good to go down and if we get the formula right (tear em apart down the wings, run em ragged up front and be solid enough elsewhere) then we could do really well. Got strength in depth too.
