Views from sedgleyimp following yesterday’s 1-1 draw away at Wycombe Wanderers in League One: “We took our time getting into that game today but certainly deserved something out of it with that late leveller. Quite ironic that it came in the time added on to the added time due to Wycombe trying to waste time on a non-existent injury. I think Skubala will have learned a great deal today. Training is all well and good but you need opponents to put the tactics into work and some in-game tweaks were needed. That though was a huge positive. The substitutions we made early with Bishop and Hackett turned the game in our favour and probably for the first time allowed Skubala to go to something like the kind of formation he wants, that being a 4 at the back with early crosses seeking out a front 2. A variation on a 4-4-2 really. Shows that we now have options and it will be fascinating to see how the players fit into the jigsaw as the season progresses.

I also thought that the combination of Draper and Taylor looked promising. Neither had a real clear view of goal today, but there was a moment in the first half where Taylor whipped in an early cross and Freddie had made a run to the near post, the kind of run no one else has really made this season. It was well-defended but showed an indication of that partnership.
Reeco and Ted contributed well after they had been brought on. Hackett looked as though he’s been given reign to have a go at defenders.
Interesting little cameo by Moylan. He’s got a great shot on him.
So overall good result and seeds of improvement. I don’t think anyone can reasonably expect that last 15/20 minutes from us, or any team, for a full 90 minutes, but periods of such pressure and attacks will please most of those members of the very hard-to-please fan base.”
