Clee Town friendly

Hanson and green looked very sharp together up top Hanson especially apart from the goals he was a real handful in the air and surprisingly on the floor his movement was decent for a big lad, max wright wow how much he looks to have come on hoping for a big season from him a quality hatrick, Ogbu looked real quality in spells maybe just lacking that bit of fitness but that will come with more games overall a good confidence boost win and to finally see some football, also best of luck to Clee town for the new season utm ⚫️⚪️

Was great to see Whitehouse out there in the black and white stripes

Who’s the other trialist then? Keanu Reeves?

He's finally left Altrincham

No mention of Ogbu in any posts, how did he play?

Did o.k, played it simple most of the time..played behind the front 2 in a diamond formation..2nd half we went 4-3-3

I know it was only a friendly against opposition 4 levels below but we played in complete contrast to the performance this time last year. Clinical going forward, mixed with a direct and creative style and relatively untroubled at the back.

A few notes on individual performances:

Hanson - everything seemed to go through him, lead the line well, great in the air and surprisingly tidy on the deck. Took his goals well.

Senior (Trialist) - played well as both a left back and winger 2nd half. Likes to get forward, looks to have a sweet left foot and had a hand in at least 2 of the goals.

Ogbu - thought he did ok playing in a free role behind the front 2. If we can get him on the ball alot this season can be a real player for us. Good skill to setup the opener. Looking forward to seeing him more.

Green - compliments Hanson well with his willing running, grabbed a goal and helped link the play up well. Early days but can see a G.Jones/Reddy style partnership developing up front this term.

Penny (trialist) - thought he grew into the game and played well at both CB 1st half and RB 2nd. Definitely worth another look against better opposition.

Wright - stole the show in the 2nd half with a hattrick in 16 minutes, nearly added a 4th and his corner was thundered against the bar by Ohman. Was very direct and took the game to Clee. Hope he gets more chances this season.

Thought there was solid performances too from Hess, Ohman, Hendrie and Rose. Great to see Whitehouse get a half too.

To summarise we have added much needed guile, experience and goal threat than last year and definitely an improvement to the squad, on this showing at least and on paper.

Cheers Sigone

a very non technical report from me.....

Clifton smashed alot of tackles in today and left a few of theirs reeling in his wake
Hanson gave us a focal point...an intelligent player who looked to link with the oncoming midfielders and those around him
Senior looked best out of the triallists
Wright grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck and blitzed his hatrick in great style
Ohman....won his headers...
Green always in around the action and always following in

due to the low pitchside view it was hard to see what formation and to see the full movement of the players but largely we were untroubled throughout.
