We tried to play football on a poor pitch, Good run out and some very good goals. New lad knows where the goal is and i think he will become a real handful under our coaches. Camacho did well, they all did ok, good to see Jordan playing on the left again.
Some agricultural tackles again tonight, Clarkey seemed to have the right arsehole with one of their players.
Will get some highlights up early afternoon, definitely worth watching for some class goals if you werent there tonight.
Well done boys

Fair play, we try to help out smaller local clubs and how do they repay us? By producing poorly prepared pitch's and field thugs who play as if its there cup final and risk injuring one of our players. Perhaps next season we should not bother.

Im waiting for J to give us the full lowdown over to you J.......
seriously who are you?! You are making me laugh and I'm guessing you are related to the player who injured one of ours the other day - why else would you be so bothered
Good run out for the lads and four well taken goals. Agree with the above who all say that Attwood looks like a good signing. He holds the ball up well, knows where the goal is and has got a great shot on him, as both of his goals showed, especially the first which was a cracker!
Not overly convinced on Faz playing right back as he has done in a few games this pre-season. It takes away a lot of his and our game which is all about providing an attacking threat, but maybe he is just filling in and will resume at right wing once the season starts? Would be happier with Parkinson playing centre back aswell, as he did when he came on last night.
Clarkey seemed intent on trying to get himself sent off last night, with some very needless tackles.
On another positive note, the gold goalkeeper kit was worn well by John Whitehouse last night. It did wonders for his 'pear shape' figure, especially with a slimming black trim to it. It's all about the confidence.
haha about John Whitehouse's new kit. at least its not pink!!
With Camacho and Attwood signing and both being able to play up front or in midfield and one on left and one on right... we have lots more fluidity this season, Last year it was 2 from 3 or all 3 upfront. We had 2 plans, this year we have other options and 2 exciting young players in the mix who both could be really good players over the next couple of seasons.
I am massively impressed with Attwood and Camacho signing and also to our coaches and manager for finding them and selling the club to them, if both have the character of the rest of the squad then they will be a plus this season.
Camacho looks different class to most of the youngsters we had over the last couple of seasons and far more advanced. He and Jordan (who gets better and better on the left) are players i am looking forward to seeing how much they develop this season.

I would expect trailists to stand out against Kent League opposition and, for me, Camacho has looked ordinary thus far. Granted a lovely cross for the third goal last night and one or two other touches but, aside from that, not overly impressed. Obviously he will (need to) get stronger over the season but I would rather we had a recognised right back to cover injury rather than playing Faz there....
Attwood however did stand out for me. Took both goals well and the first one had a touch of class. Was playing at a higher level with Histon last season and has a very nice left foot and looks a good signing.
I thought Steve was outstanding yesterday. He popped up on left and right and passing and pace were good on a cabbage field of a pitch. Players drop off him and he allows players to get forward and keeps the ball, a very good quality. He out of all the trialists we had this year was the one i would have liked to have got on board for the season.
I think we have an excellent squad with the last two signings and the 4 youngsters added to last years starters.
