Just back

Game we could have won and might have lost, so we’ll take the point.
Thought we started both halves well particularly the 2nd but tired towards the end understandably.
Back 4 impressed me generally especially Mullarkey and Rodgers, good save from Eastwood from a poor pen, excelllent follow up save.

Need another option up top clearly as it felt very similar to games last season but sure it’ll come in time.

Crowd Flat apart from the pen save and Pell appearing.

Much to build on i think.

It was a Typical Town home game .
God I hope we’re gonna see a few more goals at home this season

Both teams played well, did the basics, passed it out wide and had opportunities to score. I think we're still missing a striker, which is still elusive to GTFC.

Agreed that there's a good start in there and that it wasn't great but not terrible either, which I think we can be fairly content with. On another day we lose that game 1-0 due to the penalty, but excellent goalkeeping kept us in it.

Thanks for that Hagrid. Pleased to see your positivity.
Just looked at the results as a whole for L2. I read a report talking up Wrexham, Notts County, Stockport and Bradford as promotion certainies, whereas Sutton and Crawley were as good as relegated. The first four all got beaten and Notts were thrashed.
I think it’s going to be like last years with up and downs and notthing certain until the final day.

I’d resigned myself to then scoring that penalty and I was kind of hoping for Hurst to make a few subs and really have a go.
Once it was saved we just seemed to carry on as before

It looked like Town had just signed another option up front - Arthur - with 12 goals in the last 4 years - sub - and then put on the pitch today - bizarre.
Presumably most of the players on the subs bench were really injured.
Plus side - didn’t concede - even a penalty.

A decent effort from the lads today with good build up play but lacked a cutting edge and bodies in the box. A few long range shots in the second half, one of which drew a full stretch save from their keeper.
Good penalty save and follow up from Eastwood who otherwise was well protected by the back four.
Avoiding clichés about gel, there are encouraging signs but final balls and set piece delivery need to be better.

MOM either Rodgers or Hunt. But Conteh was pretty good

A point from a good team performance , tired towards the end against a big strong team but some good passing and movement but just missing that clinical finishing touch. Malarkey and Rodger’s both look good signings as does Eastwood who apart from the penalty save didn’t have much to do. A win would have been great but I’m happy with a point from our first game.

Mullarkey and Rodgers look good signings. Played quite well but we don’t have anybody in the squad that has ever been a prolific goal scorer. Okay saying “share the goals out” when we don’t have any players who can score.

To a man all of the new signings look like they’ve improved us. Rodgers and Conteh were superb,Vernam & Eisa look more dangerous as well.

I guess the disappointment was that the performance today mirrored multiple others from last season, no real cutting edge whilst looking like the better side. Hunt, Glennon & Clifton looked off it for me, all 3 failed on multiple occasions to play a cutting ball when we so desperately needed it.

Perhaps Wimbledon are a top side & this will be a great point. You never ever know what an opening day result looks like until way further on into the season. One things for sure though, we’re going to need far more cutting edge if we’re to achieve what we think this squad is capable of this season.
