Has been a very long close season ! the World Cup helped a bit but still missed the Albs

A 3-2 win against a handy looking Runcorn side, first half saw most of last years team plus the new signings and although a bit shakey at the back we played some lovely one touch passes and im sure a couple more games under the belt will bring more understanding of each others game.
2nd half saw basically a side of trialists with Dawson, Moyo, Ross Davidson and Michael Powell also playing, we looked good and one or 2 certainly impressed so it will be interesting to see how we fair against higher opposition on Saturday at home to Telford.

Agreed matt cat, good game and summed up nicely hard to make judgements this early as Runcorn have already played 2 matches and we would be a bit leg heavy from preseason training, Tom Rutter on wing and second half centre mid trialist looked good, but didn’t know everyone as no team sheet or announcements second half keeper also made a couple of great saves one was brilliant. Nice little set up at Runcorn and we always seem to get a good preseason game there.

I agree with summaries - too early to make real judgments, However, I was impressed with the 2nd half performance as we pushed on . We had more pace and slicker passing with more trialists, so maybe some of them may make the step up. Either Runcorn tired, or we improved, or maybe a combination of the two.

All in all, a good work out (beats losing to Barnton!!) and a nice place to visit on a sunny evening. Welcome back real football.

And why didn’t Matty Cross ever command our midfield like he did theirs?? Just a thought…
