I like we are not shipping goals, you don’t lose if they don’t score!!
WHS.
Our keeper made his first save of the game in the 80th minute. His 2nd save was in the 90th minute. Some very good performances tonight, especially in the 1st half.
Trialist sound useful and more importantly young.
WHS.
It was a very good performance after the rather poor first game, we played some nice football and really could have been 3-4 up on chances created. Williams at centre mid and Devine at left back had very good games and several of the new players were also impressive, a few have not signed yet but we had 6-7 on the bench so things are looking pretty good, probably need a couple of decent players for the first 11 yet to make us capable of challenging - but Carl has proven He can get these players so I think we can Relax a little and enjoy the preseason games, the back 5 looks solids midfield looks ok probably need a good pacy winger and up front Rob Hopley looks as threatening as ever just needs a good partner IMO. Nice to have footie back UTA.
Agree with you TT, but would like to add that his last minute save was first class.
Spot on CJ, and I thought the number 10 trialist Carl Noon I think his name was looked pretty lively.
