Bar the tactical switch the 2nd half I thought our back line handled everything fine, even when some of our midfield/attackers lost the ball and led to a counter. 

 

Not that it was terrible but I can remember a few times when the ball wasn’t cleared far enough away.  When it dropped for the Wrexham players they sliced their shots or had a bad touch, moments I thought a better side would’ve had decent opportunities.  
 

Given the injuries we will be starting with only Silva and Colwill and Trev as backup.  With no Europe I think Silva can play most games until Bads is back.

Did anyone else think we looked a little dodgy defensively?  I know we kept a clean sheet, but I felt there was a few times a better side would have punished us.

Early days yet and probably our second string defence, Brighton are going to be a better measure.

It was fine. You don't want to be too specific, it was just pre season. 

However, if you expect our defense to look similar to the way we defend under TT, then you will be disappointed every game. 

Just to let everyone know the Brighton game is on SKY sports. Midnight kick-off.

Watching Chelsea recently normally leads to a lovely sleep about 10 minutes in.
