Yeah, based on the last game, that's how I was reading the line up as well.

Strong attacking bench. No keeper on the bench is a bit of a gamble with Harrison's high risk sweeper keeper role - who's been in great form recently.

They’ve got to learn the Sheasy/Rio role at some stage ;)

Harrison is in very good form. Brilliant in playing out from the back and despite not being the tallest keeper out there, he’s very good with crosses and commanding his area.

Will probably still make the odd mistake with the ball but he looks very confident. That’s a good trait to have as young keeper. Having courage to keep on doing it despite making mistakes requires being strong mentally.

After a pretty comfortable first half we’re kind of letting Wolves back in it.

Yes that’s confirmed, 1-1. Too easy to dance through the defense. Munro a bit clumsy there, got to do better.

I think he's a very exciting talent.

And then we mess it all up with some awful defending......

A brilliant solo goal from the Wolves player, 1-1. Either Munro or McAllister should’ve closed him down.

Love the confidence Lacey has playing against older & stronger players. Yes he could sometimes move the ball quicker but that piece of dribbling in the middle of the pitch before playing that peach of a through ball was amazing.

FT 2-2

Lacey’s goal would’ve deserved to be the winner but a lapse in concentration in defense cost us. A decent match between two good sides.
