Blimey, watching the game from afar via Twitter as couldn’t get the bus over tonight. Hope Percy gets his ducks in a row second half and punishes them MK Irish!

I swear we always lose badly to MK Irish in pre season. Surely they've got a couple of players we could take a look at?

We can look definitely but not sure we can touch. On another note - Anthony ball seen playing for Berko tonight. A player I’d be sad to see not retained.

Yes, we never seem to do well there, they are a well drilled side who look borderline Step 4, as do quite a few at Step 5. The other constant is that it always rains heavily when we play them - as it did again last night! |

Bally was invited back, however decided to go elsewhere. Funny there seems to be ex players enjoying our preseason defeat last night. At least I can be glad they're ex players now. |

They do seem to have a settled squad at MK Irish. They're certainly not far from Step 4 standard both on and off the pitch.
Last night was disappointing but there's still three weeks to go so no need to panic at all. Expect a response at Marlow on Saturday.
Anyone enjoying last night's result should maybe cast their mind back to a similar performance / result at Flackwell Heath last summer. They happen during pre-season unfortunately.

It is tough to tell with pre season as it looked like some players were out of position as well. The main two things to concern me was the ability of the back three to play out from the back effectively and the attitude when we conceded. They definitely didn’t look like the mentality monsters I was expecting.
Hoping the defence look much more settled once Wood is back. Plenty more games for them all to gel and fingers crossed the fixture list is kind to us when it is released!

We had 3 definite starters missing last night - Woody, Jake and Lewis Crosbie, all on holiday (personally happy that they are taking this time now, rather than when the season has started as happened quite a lot with some of players recently!) Woody and Jake will obviously bring class to the defensive effort, and Lewis Crosbie will be a fine addition to the team, in the 'Riddick role', breaking up play and getting us moving up the pitch.
Disappointed in the result last night, but still very confident that better things are ahead. There were some definite positives to take - Rocco looks like being a big player, he has real potential; Dave Pearce looked what he is, an experienced head who can pick a pass and generate chances. James Callan is an outstanding prospect between the posts, already seen enough of him to know that we are in 'safe hands'.

OJ looked a lot livelier than he did against Dynamos as well.

I do have to agree with Nemo, I know it’s preseason but we want the mentality to fight and win every game. I’m not completely sold on the back 3 welly has signed but I do hope they prove me wrong ! Wood slots in there with the (C) on his arm and makes us a lot more solid. |

Shame about Ball could be a hard one to fill. Yes, rather embarrassing that they can’t move on and continue to check in on us. Let’s hope it doesn’t come back and bite him in the bottom when fixtures are released Kidlington will be one I look for! |
