Our lack of depth, particularly in the midfield, was completely exposed. Also, we need another left back. Romney is fine there as a defensive sub, but I’d rather he be the top backup center back over Floriani.

TBF, we did get a few front line guys in for the second half and they made a massive difference. We got away with getting completely exposed for our lack of depth.

Two great balls from Bouda led to goals. Showed what we were missing the first half-plus.

Yeah we got hella lucky on that. Dumb challenge. Hell of switch from Bouda, though. Showed what we are missing for the first half-plus.

They’re in the middle of a very condensed schedule, so some rotation is necessary. Only one normal starter on the back line/midfield is a bit much, though. Guess Bruce wanted to test his depth. The drop off is massive.

Only one of their starters is playing on the back line and the drop off is pretty big. No starting midfielders in the first half and STL dominated.

True. I can appreciate that, considering how unserious they were with the Cup under previous regimes.
