With the added goal threat this season, I won't be so utterly depressed if we concede first - knowing we have ways to get back into a game.
Unlike last season. If we conceded first - even if it was in the first half - you sort of knew it was game over.
With Green, Hanson and Ogbu, plus Wright and Vernam, you know we'll be able to create openings.

It was never really creating openings we had an issue with, it was actually doing something with an opening . Now we have a player who seems like he understands how to head a ball usefully we might be on to something and not have so many wasted crosses and balls into the box.

With finishing like that I think Max will be allowed to shoot on sight! He looks like a real prospect and I really hope he gets a real chance this season as the fans have been crying out for a wide player that can add goals as well as provide for others

Ejoyed the game yesterday. Anyone know why Charles Vernam didn't play? I rate him highly, hope it isn't an injury as he needs a proper pre season.

Can't say I really agree with this Kris,I feel our problem last season was the fact that we didn't create enough openings for our strikers. Early days but can see a bit more creativity with this team and not having to rely on one person for our goals Obviously it will be a different ball game against stronger opposition but the future could be looking a little brighter.

Jesus calm down people we beat a pub team I work with one of the players and he’s far far from a professional, it was a good first run out, nice to get the lads scoring and that’s it, anyone thinking about a top ten league position based on that performance is delusional.

A pub team who we lost to this time last year.... A clean sheet.....8 goals....two 45 Min hat tricks... Plenty of "youth" players getting a look in... Reasons to be cheerful one two three

Tad harsh on Clee Town. They had spells of good possession and worked some promising openings but very little goal threat. Their young no. 14 defender stuck to his task well and the keeper did well too. With some defensive additions, I will allow myself the delusion of a top half finish. Oh, and it would it not be good for both clubs if GTFC played some reserve games at the Linden? Is there mileage in some ticket collaboration between the clubs as we have so many empty seats?
