    Agree with Kev, Angol led line very well first half.

    we changed team completely at break and a bit messy now.

    Interesting probably last chance saloon for him this season. That’s maybe why we have taken a punt on him, hope he stays fit.

    Didnt get chance to see him in front of goal tonight but he is more mobile than, say, Cook or Rowe was, and had good feet

    It’s a stark contrast to Bowyer wasting pre season games by packing the side with a team of trialists as he did with all the games against local non league sides.

    The difference tonight and I know unlike are usual pre season games we played strong sides is the level of fitness so early. Usually in these first friendly games we look laboured and quite frankly knackered but not tonight

    Think it was more about balance and ensuring we had a strong 11 on the pitch after the multiple changes.

    Any road, his second 11 did better by all accounts.

    0-5 a good start. Weve lost and drawn these games previous seasons. Important we draw momentum, breed confidence and install a winning mentality before Exeter. Doncaster a far sterner test.

    Reserve your judgement until 10 games in to the new season.

    Pre season is about fitness. It doesn’t matter. You can’t judge a team playing against bloody BPA.

    You can take things from the game like the pressing but the result doesn’t matter and the performances are something you look to build over time.

    Nortei Nortey ended up at Dumfries last season, playing for Queen of the South, along with Dan Pybus (who has since moved on).

    City's approach this season probably means we won't be seeing many, if any, similar players making brief appearances in the claret & amber this pre-season.

    Read their Manager on the website. Quite negative about the team he will put out. Maybe another confidence building spanking.

    Noooooo! I just don't accept this vibe that it doesn't matter how badly you're beaten in friendlies. Before a season starts, positive psychology within a club is so important. New players, new manager, new ideas. If you're getting thrashed, no matter what the opposition, you start to doubt the new direction a little or alot. Momentum is really important. And any professional player would tell you that.
