He did ok, did not disgrace himself in any way, just kind of average. The team performance was very very average. I can understand with Watson and Sow out that perhaps Sabri went for safe to get a point, however, we needed more spark. We needed some creativity.
We seem to have a lack of strength in depth, especially midfield/wide-men. Semedo has had his chances and Diakhaby hasn't looked much. If that's the best we have I think we're going to struggle, especially in a 5 subs world. I'd rather give game time in the run-in to Mighten and Johnson hoping they develop quickly. And if we don't get promoted, that experience should help for next season.
I'm not complacent about reaching the play-offs at all, but we have a 5 point gap and now realistically aren't going to catch 2nd, and the loan signings have frankly failed, so now would seem an excellent time to play those youngsters.
