I went along this afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The first team in the first half looked solid and kept the ball well, but possibly too much and for too long but there were some nice passing movements. Triallist centre forward from Bournemouth (Saydee?) took 15 minutes to even touch the ball because he could never get in the right position but when he did he showed some nice touches and defenders bounced off him cos he's built like a brick shit-house, but the nice touches ran out when he got near or in the box. It was easy to see why he has never scored in his career. He'll be good for someone like Havant, but too slow and too immobile for us on that showing. Nice to see every first team player except Pack & Jacobs there, and all looked quite well motivated. Tunnicliffe & Harness combined well down the right.
Second half was much more interesting, with an entire new team on the pitch. Don't know who the Triallist in goal, right back and right wing were but the keeper was too small, the right back too hesitant, but the right winger looked useful. Andre Wisdom played centre back and was a class above the rest as you would expect from someone who has played in the Premiership for Liverpool and was sold for £4.5m, but he looked very overweight and about 40 even though he is only 29. Liam Vincent looked very bright (reminded me of a young Matty Taylor), Haji Mnoga looked a much more mature player than when I'd last seen him and I would say both could play first team quite comfortably.
But the one who really caught the eye was Harry Jewitt-White, who showed speed of touch and thought way above his years and just looks a very intelligent player. Probably needs the right loan spell to give him games, but I think there is a real prospect for the future there.
