Two even (albeit with different footballing styles) solid midtable teams played out a fair 1-1.

Both keepers and pairs of centre backs were superb. CCC was the only player on the pitch with genuine star quality.

The manner in which we conceded (deep in injury time) was disappointing but the performance was okay and there is a great deal to be encouraged about.

If there is no recall option for Ethan (at least for a certain minimum period), it's pretty much certain that Ollie will go out on loan. I can't see us going with 3 keepers!

No.

Well, we've certainly got a few lads who will try and persuade him.

Wish we'd kept Harry Perritt; better than what we have.

I never saw Michael Gyasi so I'm not even convinced he existed!

It's a tough one this because I'd imagine J Jones and Isaac would be first choice cm with both CCC and Kossy able to do 10. Effectively, another CM would be a squad player.

I think that it's fair to say that we can begin the process of whittling it down a bit now. A number of the trialists were inadequate as were a number of our squad players from last season - no need to mention as it's clear to all.

Both keepers are dreadful and it makes me wonder how Lancaster City managed to get two keepers better than both of ours.

It's too early to tell for sure (it is only preseason after all) but a couple of our newer players from Scotland/Ireland look a little...well, let's hope it's rusty (or we may be in trouble).

I still like the look of Boateng, though tonight much of the play took place on our left side.

Obviously, no Marriott, Angus etc tonight so hoping for improvements moving forward.
