    Jones booked for a stiff challenge, got the ball, but so to the man, this "friendly" just got lively

    Nice long ball from Gillesphey to find Olaofe in behind them, but ball ends up going back to the half way line - Macca could still be a proper weapon for us building from the back.
    Showed excellent awareness to cover off the attack on their left, our right just before that too. He lacks pace but his positioning really makes up for it

    Am a tad nervous about the crowd on the side-lines. They look a vile bunch who could kick off at the slightest thing if we're not careful.

    Olaofe Working hard down both channels coming short to get the ball .. the highlight so far both keepers very little to do .. our passing forward as expected bit off at the moment

    Looks like first choice but with Zac, Asiimwe and Kanu auditioning for squad places 
    Apter, JRC and Burke haven't signed to be back up, so I wouldn't be so sure.

    Nobody with ambition should want to be a squad player. 16 players will be used nearly every game for cafc this season.

    Not sure if Nathan doesnt sound happy with a long cross that evaded everyone and went for a throw, as you could hear him saying: "That cant happen"

    Gorica seem happy to let us have the ball, defending very deep and trying to hit us quick on the break, we are settling into our tempo now and looking better still 0-0...30 minutes gone

    A few too many unforced errors for my liking at the moment.

    It’s hard to judge given the difference in fitness of both sides but Kanu again like at Dartford offering very little in the first 30 mins ..

    Good thing it’s only the second pre season game then isn’t it, able to iron them out

    Free Kick to HNK mid way in our half, not too dissimilar to where they had their header on target from earlier

    Less said about that set piece when it was taken... the better really

    "Sums up the first 30mins" from Greg

    FK to Gorica from the RH side, ends up high wide and not so handsome...

    Nice driving run forward from Casey, he plays a heavy pass to avoid a HNK challenge, but the referee blows it back for a foul.

    Great challenge from Gillesphey to get back, after an HNK break

    That was probably 1-0 had he not reached that

    Macca comes to the rescue with a last second clearance for a thro from a dangerous opening...

    Zak doing well so far, looking composed...still 0-0 last 5 minutes of first half...

    HNK really sit back like Dartford did in the second half last week, when they dont have the ball - Its not helping our final ball / creativity either, because we're rusty yet having to be that bit more precise to find it.

    Nice little run through two / three players from Olaofe

    Gets pushed down though before he can do something with it. First time I've really seen him do that, since he terrorised Ramsay when we played Stockport last year
