An entertaining game but far too open for those of us who appreciate the defensive arts.
Braiden Graham has a real future but may need to develop more physically before he is ready to compete at the top level. He could probably do the goal poaching role now but I would worry his career could be blighted with injury if he was getting regular appearances at the moment.
The crowd looked miniscule, which was a bit disappointing but must reflect that few expect to see a good number of the stars of the future in the U21 ranks....

Good full back players are in short supply, whilst there is an evolution of what managers are looking for.Nico O'reilly is a midfield player.Mattheus Nunes was a central midfielder Calafori a centre half.Ben White is a centre half.Garner & Szoboszlai have been played right backObrien is a centre halfNobody wants to be a Gary Neville. And that is leaving a dearth of full backs & centre forwards for that matter. Kids are all trained as midfielders these days, with the weakest moved to full back. Barton has that right.Traditional right backs like Patterson and Calvin Ramsey have failed to make there way. Perhaps that's been the case for an age, ivanovic and Carragher being centre halves that performed at full back.I do think we need two different options at full back. The problem isn't that Mykolenko and Obrien cant do a job, they can. The problem is they only can play one way. And if youre chasing the game, needing to be on the front foot, theyre like tit...

As expected I'd say, going from a historical relic of a stadium to state of the art new one.
Owners too, hard not to improve on the moshiri regime.
The real tests will come in 2-3 years when the novelty has worn off.
Same with the owners, we will see in year's to come if their vision translates to success on the pitch, which is what it's all about ! ...

I think we're up to 18th in PL2 after that brilliant performance.
Not enough for the PL2 playoffs (Top 16) or to qualify for next season's Premier League International Cup, unfortunately.
But it seems we do go into these other playoffs against the Top 8 finishers in the 2025-26 Professional Development League 2. So don't switch your iPad off just yet, Dave, the season is not over!...
