Pre-Match
Martin Taylor
Here is the team for tonight's game. We've had to change the team around a bit due to injuries and lack of shin pads.
Tackle hard and pass accurately, that's all I ask. No pre-match team talk either, we should know what to expect this week.
The administrator has asked for everyone to remember their black shirts for tonight, you don't want to be wearing his wrap around T-shirts.

Post-Match
Dave Atkinson
Our performance was a little poorer than our first game, but we were much more relaxed on the ball, less harried. There were some occasions when players were holding on to the ball too long and trying to take on too many players, when there were other players unmarked and in good positions.
I still need to shout more and direct from the back when I can, and although gutted at letting in the two goals, in hindsight there was little I could do. I did make a couple of good saves and my distribution was good. Overall everyone played well again and we will get our first win soon, in this our first season. Chins up, lads!

I think elements of our performance were poor, like not crossing or drawing the ball back, but I really enjoyed my defensive role and have the bruises to prove it. My 'Thanks' to AP for the photos, they were good
Dave Atkinson
They were excellent!
I've picked out the best (in my opinion) picture of each player on Monday night and created a squad gallery.
We can replace these as/when better pics are available from future visits by The Photographer.
