Watched a bit of mk dons v Bradford and Harrogate v Bromley, not much for us to be worried about on the showing of all the teams so far.

MK dons v Bradford has gone up a notch after half time

I know it's pretty irrelevant at this point, but why are Swindon above us in the current league table, obviously we have identical records so I presumed it went in alphabetical order, ... just intrigued that's all..

all we are saying, is give us ...a goal, or 2+

Fair play to the lad getting his chance in the league and taking it. I?m sure he?ll manage to find the net one way or another again against us this season.

I think everyone was worth a 7/10 last night apart from our Columbian international right back who, for me, was man of the match with a 9/10. He had a debut to be proud of, and looked like he'd been with us for ages. Both full backs are a step up from last season, and Dunkley is awesome for this league.

Oldaker definitely has the talent.

It's now a case of consistency...

Kept saying the same last season and again last night,he is one of a few I have reservations about.If he can deliver consistently the performance he put in last night I will be more than happy.

I also thought Swindon looked an ok side. Big, physical and played to their strengths. Not a lot of football going on but they caused us a few problems 2nd half without creating much. They will do ok this season. The big lad up front looked very useful.

Really, I thought the big lad up front for them did absolutely nothing. He got his head to a couple of long balls but nothing else.

Onwards & Upwards!

The big lad was the focal point of their attacking ideas and more than once he managed to lose our CBs and get himself into a position in which his only marker was Tanton thus giving him a very distinct height advantage. Fortunately, he failed to capitalise on this with his resulting headers.

We are going to face teams with different styles of play in L2 and, possibly, more open games than we had in the NL and it will be up to the management and players to deal with this. However, despite the penalty which should have been we failed in the first half to make our possession pay. We played some decent football but we did not achieve the ultimate objective of the game which is to put the ball in the onion bag.
