Carlton = B-

[Brighton_Diggins]

I thought the blues showed a bit of heart last night.
But...I think our worst players were the ones we're pinning
most of our hopes on e.g. Judd, Stevens and Fev.
The first two will come good, but Fev still has a question mark over his
head until he can deliver. He was double and triple teamed at times
but i still think some of his body language is negative.
Hope he gets there.

The rest of the lads played reasonably well.
Thornton has proved me wrong 2 weeks in a row now and i think
he played with accountability, purpose and composure.
Other notable mentions for me were Waite, murph and betts.
Fife was also pretty handy considering his lack of game time.

Overall I think there were some really good signs there.
For the first time in ages I could see a 'team' starting to form.

Keep in mind we were playing an outfit touted for the premiership
whilst we're rebuilding/starting afresh.

We played the game out too.... which for me, means
we're getting there with fitness.
Once judd is up and about and stevens loses the puppy fat
I think we'll finally see something to smile about.

Bang done.

Balanced, thoughtful summary.
