!st League game starting 11

[Christies Child]

After last nights performance I'd have no problem in the starting 11 v Grimsby be that of last night with the possible inclusion of a change at right back.

I posted following the weekends games that I didn't rate the trialist left back and the trialist midfielder. Boy was i wrong

Both Tom Kennedy and Michael Rose proved what valuable and experienced signings they could be assuming that Jim is able to offer them deals. Both proved that they have a lot to offer particularly in midfield which has been an area of worry for me.

At long last we've at least one leader on the pitch in the form of the excellent Winnard; easy to see why the Accy fans didn't want to see him leave their rubbish pile. The other leader was Rose in midfield.

I also think that at long last we've got a centre forward who can compete in the air and cause centre backs problems both in the air and on the ground. If we can use Taylor to play alongside him to pick up the knock downs then we've got an equally potential strike force to rival that of last season.

We all know that pre season is all about fitness and shape but if we continue to play it on the ground and move it around like we ddid at imes last night then the season could be far better than last. however we all know that Jim has a hhabit of reverting back to the hoof ball when the season starts.

Let's hope that Jim and co don't revert to type....

Unfortunate error by McGowan which was punished for the equalising goal... but Edwards made two equally glaring errors that weren't punished. Difficult to judge anybody at the moment; players and oppositions are at different points in their preseason programme. I think next Tuesday will be a better game to see where we are; the Liverpool XI game is a waste of time.

The Halifax game will be an equally testing game being away from home. Will be interesting to see if our tactics are a fore runner of the season away ahead.

Would like to see the number 4 from Saturday given a further run to put pressure on Edwards.

Yet again, we must factor in the opposition, last night Burnley were happy to let us play to half way in their half, hence us playing it on the deck, and it was a friendly in the sun with nothing at stake??
In League Two the players aren't as talented so make up for it with graft, teams come and press us high and force us to play the long ball sometimes, as its the teams fighting for points and their livelyhood!
