Someone's having a laugh here surely?! Did we get confused and sign the wrong Owen James first? And how many forwards do we need anyway?!

My line manager at work follows Bedford and apparently he played for them Tuesday night aswell as a little last season, he can’t believe he’s with us - made a debut in L1 not too long ago so must have something! Hope we’ve worked out some nicknames though lol |

I think we need to continue this trend by trying to sign ex Kings Langley player Jack Wood from Southend!
I wasn’t there last night but I’m pleased to hear the manager is acting on what he’s seen in pre-season so far rather than just hoping things will be alright on the night.

I wasn’t there last night but I’m pleased to hear the manager is acting on what he’s seen in pre-season so far rather than just hoping things will be alright on the night. we looked much better going forward - some good passing n slick inter play, but by God we look awful defensively. With Woody, Feyi & Lynn there's zero pace, although the tall black lad who came on 2nd half looked pretty decent. The young lad Empson looks out of his depth unfortunately. The midfield probably contributes to the defensive problems - they're good technical players but they're young and a bit lightweight, and there's nobody in there who tackles or puts himself about. Really do need a midfield enforcer, apparently we signed someone weeks ago, but he's never been seen, n we've almost completed our friendlies! Get the feeling we could end up being bullied once we get into the League games; certainly going to be plenty of goals if the friendlies are anything to go by!
Thought Harry Scott, on his 3rd stint with us, was motm by a long way for us, whilst a slimmed down Kingy for Winslow showed what a class player he is still is.
Liked the look of Jonas Kalonda and Jovanovic

Would love to see Harry have a solid, settled season with us. He certainly has the ability to be an asset to the squad.

Owen led the line well last night. Good to have a hard working focal point of the attack.
Still not convinced by the new look back line/system. Feyi in particular looks uncomfortable playing out from the back but they do look a bit more solid with Woody back. Can’t afford to be conceding 2/3 goals a game. I am however impressed with the new keeper. Good with his feet and vocal with the back line.
I’ll be interested what final squad Wells settles with. Lots of difficult decisions to make.

Was it Scott who scored the 2 goals in the first half or a different triallist?

Attitude is everything - if he wants to come back to Step 4 and prove himself, then good; its up to Jack to get the best out of hiom in the system he wants us to play.
That's if we can agree terms with him of course!
