it was what it was we are a side that are just getting to know each other there were times when we put a couple of moves together and times when confidence was an issue.
The keeper did well and is sharp and kicking is good, the right back was a little shaky early on but settled bit of misunderstanding in the centre of defense and would be happy if Gowling stayed. Reid was Reid blows hot and cold but laid on the goal.
It will take time. William a different class was captain.

ANyone know the names of the trialists?
Trialist A started as a midfielder and dropped into a back 3 at the start of the 2nd half,
B - didnt look like a winger but was put out wide and C didnt have time to impress
We looked a lot better with 4 at the back though!

Are the academy lads related to their older TUFC (past) namesakes? - (Lavercombe and Edwards)

jesus not sure what people watched (and i know it was the first run out i appreciate that) however what these players have been doing before pre season and now back i dont know, they all need to lose about 2 stone each of them especially Nabi....
lads from Plymouth i could have run quicker in flip flops, it was a worrying watch.
back 4 were suspect and any ball through the back will cause us issues. hall will be decent player once fit.
3 weeks to go this is very concerning
