Standouts for me were Davenport, Yann, Mayor, Mellon and Slew



I would add Senior to your list of standouts , he looks quite pacey.

Nobody played badly. It was a good performance , beginning to look like a "Derek Team" and his ideas are being taken onboard by the squad.

I hope we sign Davenport before someone snatches him. He reminded me a bit of Crowley , but IMHO better.

Thought I'd written his name but agree Senior was maybe the best of the lot.

I get what you mean about the Davenport and Crowley comparison, they have a similar build but I liked how progressive Davenport was with his play and willingness to tackle. Crowley looked good on the eye but had a tendency to hang onto the ball for ages just doing lots of cruyff turns.

All sounds much more positive! I wonder if the Facebook warriors who had us written off and being relegated after the Warrington game, now have us as nailed on Champions?

You'd hope so! Pre-season is weird. Southport and Warrington will be in the same division next season - we got pretty comfortably beaten by Warrington, then put in a very strong display against Southport, who a week or so ago beat a League Two side in Tranmere. Where teams are in terms of fitness/gelling will vary, and some games may have more trialists or the manager may be trying a different formation to experiment or just squeeze more minutes in for players. Not worth getting too up or down over it!

That said, glad to hear it was a strong performance last night, we're absolutely making the play-offs :lol:

Just watched the goals on the club's twitter account. Looks as though we have got a long throw specialist on the books to replace Cooney.
