 Welcome to Toffy TV, it's the instant match reaction to Wigan Athletic Nill. Everton Nill was still at the DW Stadium, it's a little bit dark, they turned some of the lights off on us and they brought the mowers out onto the pitch. I think that's how I get rid of this. What did you make of that? Classic pre-season. The pace of it was pre-season and some of the tackles were a bit meaty, shall we say, tasty. I think Wigan wanted to be very competitive and the shoulder. It's difficult to know what to take from it because it wasn't great by Everton by any means. I think, I mean, it was a strong team they put out, there's no messing about, strong team, strongest we could put out really. Interesting to see that mean has started and Dominic Alvin's having started. And obviously, very future, I thought we started really bright. And I thought as the half went on, we drained of energy. And I think the same happened last season, really, in pre-season. Exactly the same thing. I think the best thing is to say about it is that there was no, we're not conceding or look like conceding stupid goals. So that's one thing that's completely improved from this time last season. But it's the other end, isn't it? It's the other end where we look, we look light. And I suppose that's where your sharpness is going to come in to affect the most. So I'm not overly worried about that. I mean, how do you feel about that? I'm a bit more worried than you. Just because of ideas, more than anything, it's not even the sharpness. If they were trying, little one, two, and it wasn't working, faring up, but there was certainly a fair staff. There was two or three occasions where we broke. Theo Walcott in particular, twice, has got the opportunity to shoot the pitch opens up ahead of him. And he turns the opportunity away and runs into people. And it's like, now's the time to get your shooting boots on. We've had our first attempt in the 40th minute. And if you can call it an attempt, I'm going to call it losing. It's almost out of stadium. You know, it didn't go anywhere near the goal. So that worried me a little bit. But again, perversely at the other end, we didn't look like we were ever going to concede a goal. Really, really. I think the main worry for me is, it's the squad depth. I think, you know, you look at that team and you think, right, the only people that you're going to add to that, the squad. So it's Sheng Towson and Richard Allison. Now, Richard Allison makes a massive difference, of course he does. But it's just that squad depth at the moment. So, you know, I know there's a lot of people online getting very worried about signings and things like that. And, you know, let's hope that needs to happen. Because, you know, you listen to people and, well, I mean, that's to be honest, Ghana is done by the sands. It looks like it's done. And it's up to ever now to get that sorted out, isn't it? To get a replacement. Because we need bodies. And it's not just the case of how wouldn't it be nice to get a few players in. For me, it's we need players in. We need a centre defender, a centre midfielder, and a centre forward, Cwm Winger. And that, to me, in the next two weeks now, is it takes up a bulk of the story now of pre-season. Forget about what we do on the pitch. For me, it's what we do off the pitch. But at the same time, this time last year, we'd only just buy in Richard Allison. So I'm not overly panicking, but I think, you know, you can sell by tonight by the players you have there second half, that we're desperate to bring more players in. I mean, I suppose the side that you look at it is that Dominic Albert Lunes had two days training. So he's not going to be sharp playing in games. He's not going to be as well, exactly the same. But that's what both of them don't okay, considering that they haven't really been playing. But you look and you're worried by the depth of the squad, obviously. We need players in. This isn't Marcel Brans who's sat behind us in luck to impress the others. So they know the work they've got to do. We know that we need, for me, we need four players at least. And they've got two weeks for that. I mean, a raft of changes, second half. Obviously Michael Keaman off with a head injury from a bit of a nasty elbow. The referee had a few things going. Let's be honest, the referee was poor. Oh, he was appalled, he was absolutely appalled. And our players got hit a few times. Second half, who impressed you from the young lads that came out? Because the young lads came out, they did okay as a team, had a bit of energy and a bit of drive. Yeah, Louvers Gibson. I thought Louvers Gibson was excellent. Looks like he's got something. I don't think he's ready yet. Obviously to rely on him, you know, time and time again. But he certainly looks like he's got something he wants to watch. I think Anthony Gordon showed some lovely touches. Started really bright first 20, 25 minutes in and faded a little bit. But those two really. And the right back was all right. There was a young Belgium playing right back for us tonight. He was all right. He played well to be fair, you know what? To be fair to Kevin Morales. He showed the level of professionalism that you don't always associate with Kevin Morales. But he done well used all his experience to play in the position. Fair play to him. I thought Tom Davies looked head and shoulders. And that's why he is a first team squad regular because he looked head and shoulders better than most of the players. But as you mentioned, Anthony Gordon was good and Gibson at the back. I thought Mason Holgate done well as well to be fair. Again, he showed that level of experience that having a season away and playing will have given him as well. So, no problem on that. Other players, Fraser Hornby is miles and miles away from being a professional footballer, if I'm honest. At this level. To be a striker, he's got good touch. He holds it up well. But to be a centre forward, you've got to attack the goal. You've got to run at the goal. Runs away from the goal. It's incredible, isn't it? There was one that opened up for him and he turned and gone the other way. Be direct. Go for the goal. And other players, you know, we've seen James McCarty. He looks like he needs to move. He looks like he needs to get in and play weekly because he's dropped off a bit, which he didn't understand. He's not played a lot of football. So, there's things that need to improve. But the focus will shift. Obviously, we've got the stadium stuff tomorrow, which is big. But the focus has got to shift now to bring in people. We've got a fort night to bring players in. And that's where the focus has got to be, really, Tommy. It's got to be. Diolch, Avie. Let us know your thoughts. There's not much to talk about. I've just been talking to Snotz. He said it was incredibly hard to do commentary for that game tonight. It was very little going on. So, let us know your thoughts in the comments. What did you think about tonight's game? Anything we spoke about that you worried about the squad depth? Or are you fully behind the club and massive brands that you'll bring in the players that we need? Let us know in the comments.
