The centre backs today


Will only improve with time. I’m sure it wasn’t the club’s plan when we signed two 20 year olds from abroad to throw them in to the starting xi together with one of them being told he was playing 5 mins before kick off
 
No problems at all. Triantis is very comfortable on the ball. I feared the worst with two new CBs who hadn't started in English football. But they put that to bed pretty early on.

Is it a bad thing to want one of them playing alongside Ballard now going forward? Triantis for me being a more ball playing defender.
 
Dug in well I thought, first half was like a bomb scare but very understandable given its their first start and we're limited in how we can protect them. Solid enough second half.

Do think in general it showed how important Ballard and O'Nien are.
