two more league debuts for us then, craig and mackenzie, fill your boots lads!! plus two more on the bench!!

[Jeff]

Technically Craig made his league debut last weekend, but first start today for sure. Worried about that what does for our midfield stength though. Craig has been talked up by some on here - today he can let his football do the talking and we'll see how he stacks up.

[Plymouth Gull]

No Easton?

[Jeff]

No Easton?

Nope - wandering round in a tracksuit so injured I assume

[Trojan 67]

Just said on radio, Easton unfit due to a groin strain.

gaunt and thomas commentating, easton confirmed as failing fitness test this morning

[bixieupnorth]

grrr you beat me again troj!!

[Trojan 67]

Time for Saah to "skipper" MacKenzie through his début.

At 6' 1", Mackenzie isn't small. From what I've seen of him in pre season, he looks a very good young prospect.

[Dave]

Afternoon all, interesting line up, wish Guant would retire awful.

[Trojan 67]

you beat me to it troj!!

grrr you beat me again troj!!

[bixieupnorth]

cagey start, thompson seems to have been told to help oastler out rather than hanging about waiting for a ball out on the wing

[Neal]

one sided so far in PV favour. havnt had a decent move yet. ground feels empty. ah because it nearly us

[bixieupnorth]

dt says that both the first timers have made confident starts as we'd all hoped for
myrie-williams seeing plenty of the ball
