5 youth team players involved today. How have they performed? Clayden the best of them. Elerewe, Henry and Leaburn look decent (latter two out of position), just not quite there yet.

More nice link-up play with Fraser and Kirk. Egbo looks better going forward than he does coming back.

Just caught up on the goal. Very poor from Egbo, but why is he playing LB. Here we go!

Great passing and movement again from us. A superb pass from Fraser into Kirk who went on a great run but the end product let him down.

The new right back playing left back. I despair players playing out of position. Play a left back there even if it’s a youngster or even still get a left back in earlier.

Good to hear that we are passing and moving.

Gilbey hasn't seen a load of the ball but having options around him seems to have improved his game a little bit for me. No longer has to drive 30 yards by himself.

Egbo not affected by the howler starting to look quite solid and I am excited by the Fraser and Kirk link up play.

Ridiculous not having a left-back at the club!

Ridiculous not having a left-back at the club! Early days, I'd rather get rid of the driftwood than give Ben Purrington an extension when he isn't good enough just for numbers. I'm sure we'll have one soon

Fraser looking like the player who was at MK Dons. Class.

Think my 11 based on today would be:
MacGillivray Clare - Innis - O'Connell - Clayden(until another comes in) Gilbey - Dobson - Fraser CBT - Stockley - Kirk

It feels like we've played two different formations, first half was a clear 2CDMs with a number 10 in Aneke, the second half had just Dobson holding with Gilbey and Fraser pushing on. I'd like to see the second half team with the first half setup, Fraser in that 10 slot.

First eleven played well, how did we not score, second eleven looked lost to me, if we are going to be playing out from the back, then Lavelle and Innis need a lot of work, CBT probably best player, thought JFC played well, Chucks did well also, need a few more in and definitely a few to go out the other way.

Even Stevie Wonder can see we need at least six new additions.
That was woeful.

Don't understand the praise for Kirk. Stockley poor. Only Dobson and Fraser looked talented in the second half.

Better to find out what is missing now that spend the first month of the season doing it. Look on the bright side, although a friendly Garner would have added names to the exit list after that whether that be loans or sales. When they travel home later today or tomorrow, not sure which, it won't be the only departure lounge that a few of them are going to be in over the next 2 weeks.

Don't understand the praise for Kirk. Stockley poor. Only Dobson and Fraser looked talented in the second half. Kirk put some good balls into the box, if we had a striker with quick feet and good anticipation his deliveries loo very good but if there is nobody on the end of them like their should be then he's the fall guy for having no end product! See my new post on the need for a new striker.

My other thought is that the defenders need a lot of working on, in terms of being comfortable bringing the ball out from the back.

Anyway it's July 1st today, a whole host of players officially become free agents. Plenty of talent out there to choose from to make up for what was lacking today.

Still a lot of work for the recruitment team to do, two left backs and two attackers as a minimum, maybe another attacking midfielder.
I'd offer Davison in part-ex for McKirdy and throw in Albie Morgan on a season long loan to sweeten the deal and see if they want DJ back!
Obviously it's only early days, but not sure about Wollacott, he may have been nervous being his first outing, but he didn't look the ball playing keeper we were expecting. Reserve judgement until I see Egbo at right back, but apart from the pass back, he looked to have something about him. Out of the three newbies on show, I thought O'Connell was the stand out, looked very comfortable on the ball and didn't have a problem using his left foot.
Of the three youngsters, Leaburn doesn't look ready at all (I saw a lot of him last season), Deji was very good, and unfair to judge Henry having been played out of position.
Looking forward to Dartford and our first glimpse of McGrandles.

Literally a game of two halves! Thought the first half line up performed very well, 2nd half pretty poor. Which was surprising as quality of both line ups looked pretty equal on paper. Good to see CBT roasting a full back again and have a hunch Elerewe will be pushing for a first team place - he looked comfortable in that set up. Claydon very good also. Agree on need for a striker. No good having wingers putting balls in the box only for some clumsy oaf to keep sending it into row Z.

I no longer think we need a Louis Reed though, more like a Panutche Camara. I would take Reed though but only if Gilbey was sacrificed which I am not sure would be wise or not to do so.

Looked like a 3-4-2-1 system to me, Chuks and DJ playing behind Davidson, any other guesses. My team playing the above formation after today, would be..... McG
Clare Elerewe O'Connell
Egbo JFC McGrandles CBT
Fraser Kirk
Chuks
