We've looked more like a side in its pre-season second half. With a number of youngsters in the side. Johnston has been the pick of the youths for me. Allan looked decent in the game against Steyr but he looks poor in this game. Most things break down when they reach him. |

FT 1-0 Obviously not fun to lose the game but some positives coming from the game, particularly the performance in the first 30 minutes. |

Thought Johnston looks like a player with a lot of potential. Very comfortable on the ball and not afraid to show for it. |

Not seen today's game but from what l have seen of him he could be a special player. Hopefully, he gets a lot more game time this season. |

Thought he was one of our best players in both games. Early days, but he looked strong in the air and in the tackle and confident on the ball. Hope he pushes on, as another good young centre half on the books would be helpful. Compper also played well. |

The scoreline wasn't a fair reflection of the first 45. Every player other than Edouard and Gordon were in decent to good form. Even Hendry had an important well timed tackle and take. Hayes decision making and ball retention was good. I'm focusing on those two as they've been dreadful any time I've seen them until now. Credit where due. Ajer imperious. Can somebody tell Gordon to never hit a "pass" at less than 50° to the goal line. It's tactical suicide and Bohemians scored from it within seconds. I hope next time it occurs, the receiver leaves it rather than keeps it in for the opposition to exploit.

Did you see the post match interview with Brendan? It was suggested to him that the youngsters had done well with particularly Johnstone seeing a lot of the ball. He replied "Yes, but you have to do something with it"! He did show a couple of skillful moments, but was caught in possession a few times. Not likely to be a first pick at the start of the season and if Brendan doesn't see him getting much game time before Christmas, a wee loan might be beneficial. |

Maybe Morgan has already booked a spot in the first team squad and now the likes of Johnson, Allan, Kouassi, Christie, Henderson, Hayes and Aitcheson are being assessed to see if they are going to be regulars, loaned out or sold. To be honest I expected more from Johnson- it is only a training game but he couldn't link up with Ralston on the right that well, gave the ball away a fair bit and didn't have much end product. Still early in pre- season though... |
