Some thoughts on the Albion players, in no particular order.
Hawkins. Impressed me as a good old-fashioned centre half ... and a great goal!
Chamberlain. Could make the first team squad. He and ElAbd looked good together in central midfield in the 2nd half.
Elphick. Best CB on display.
Whing. Good game.
McLeod. Impressive. Great crosser of the ball. Well taken goal. I like him.
Cox. Overall a pretty poor game. On this showing he won't make the starting line-up.
Dixon. Couple of decent touches, but overall poor. Don't know why anyone thought he was League 1 standard.
Forster. OK. Not at his best.
Fraser. Not a bad game. Central midfield is def his best position.
Gatting. Poor. But we already knew that.
Haswell. Better at LB in the first half than in left midfield (where he looked lost) in the second. Not bad, but nowhere near Richards standard. What are we waiting for with Matt?
Kuipers. Looked confident. Handled the ball well, but nothing much to do.
Sullivan. Even less to do than Michel, but what he did he did well.
Lynch. OK. Not outstanding.
Murray. Good goal. Not at his best, but the best forward on display (followed by Worthing's No 9 in the first half ... impressive).
Robinson. Some nice touches, but not enough to demand a starting role.
Thomson. Quietly efficient.
Virgo. OK. Expected more.
Oh, and Loft .... anonymous as usual ...
Based on today (only one game and against non-league opposition) I'd be tempted to start Elphick and Hawkins at CB at Crewe.
