    Lovely cross TC and Leaburn cushioned volley across the keeper

    0-1

    What a cross from TC

    Great play from TC to win the ball, dangerous cross in and good finish from Leaburn.

    Take that, academy player haters and doubters.

    Back 4 again. If we don't have to get wingbacks hopefully we can spend the money on decent midfielders.

    Quality from TC. Pace strength and work to get the ball and then what a cross

    Good work by TC and good finish from Miles

    At least Campbell showed good awareness to get that break down bLl and put the long ball into the box. That is a positive.

    Lovely little move that. I'm intrigued by the 4-2-3-1. I hope it provides a good, more attacking option for us, particularly at home this season. I'm not convinced it will become the default, I think it's a kind of "as is" until we get another wingback or two in the door, but it's looking pretty good for now.

    Campbell in this formation is a starter

    Fullah on the bench whilst Anderson gets minutes.

    What am I missing here?
    Fullah’s an attacking midfielder, Anderson more defensive. Knibbs and Carey are ahead of Fullah in the pecking order.

    Leaburn up top in his own?
    He ought to be better suited to a 4231 than Kelman, as you want the lone striker to have some height as well as mobility.

    Difference between TC and Apter there, TC back defending in our area two minutes after assisting our goal.

    Leaburn an absolute handful so far early in this half

    Triallist looking better than Apter

    TC actually looks well rested for the first time since he started playing for Jamaixa

    Is Carey showing early last season form?

    Mwamba is going to be mustard on loan in League 2 this season

    Can’t see him going until we get a midfield signing or two in.

    Be a long queue for him if he does become available though

    I've been watching on my second monitor during meetings, but what I saw of RApter in the first half I thought he looked very one-dimensional and lacking the pace to run past people. This should be his preferred position in his preferred formation. I am worried he's just not up to it.

    Still pre-season mind. But it kind of confirms my priors when it comes to his time at Bolton and such.

    Think Danny Cowley and Col U will be first in the queue after they tried in Jan.

    This eleven better than the first half eleven, mainly because the attacking players are better.

    Cameraman having a whale of a time during the break in play showing us the Maribor Ultras then a little hut on the top of a nearby hill! 😂

    Feels like Charlie Kirk Mark 2, sadly

    That TC run and cross deserved a finish from someone...

    How’s the defence doing any weaknesses?
