Ah, shame.
Times change. I can remember hot drinks being served at Underhill in china mugs. George Sturman, the Catering Manager, would walk around the terrace looking for stray ones that hadn’t been returned.
Happy days!

In terms of the new boys, Kenlock, Wilkinson and Browne looked very sharp. Clifford very busy. Grimwood grew into his half. Tavares looked decent on the right, thought he’d be in the middle. Hayes had little to do, same for Rye and Kizzi. Shelton had to do most of the legwork alongside Blower and was solid enough. No one disgraced themselves. The trialist LWB is rapid but didn’t do a lot else, head seemed to go down after mistakes and was at fault for their goal.

Not aware- doesn’t appear to be a DB interview either. Brunt played 45, Pritchard was there but did not feature. No sign of collinge, Kanu, RHJ or Freeman

I would suspect Luke Freeman has moved on as there has been no announcement was made about him signing a new contract unlike Jerome Okimo and Ben Coker.

That would make sense. The only way I’d have liked Freeman to stay would’ve been with a full pre season in the tank and it doesn’t appear like that’s the case

Hope Idris absence isnt related to interest from other teams, conscious him and DC are in their last year under contract. I think if Idris can stay injury free he can have a huge influence on our fortunes this year. He’s proved before when he gets a run of games he can deliver, last season was just very stop start with knocks

Personally I'd rather we cashed in on him. I've always had a feeling he's not a team player.

Agree with Beew, think he flatters to deceive and holds onto the ball far too long. His proneness to go down quite easily has given him a bad reputation with the referees to the point when he is actually fouled he doesnt get it.

I think in Wilkinson we have found a forward player who will provide a proper end product.

My stand outs of the new boys from yesterday were Wilkinson (very prime Harry Kane-esq in the way he protect the ball and finds space to get shots away), Browne (not unexpected, such a threat), Clifford (surprised me a lot, very technical, worked very well with Hartigan), Shelton (only one in the second half to really look to control the game). Grimwood looked impressive as well. Hartigan was the best player on the pitch. Thought Kizzi and Kenlock looked a little off performance wise but most certainly not making any judgements on the 8th July!

I thought the trialist looked Ok (albeit I got there with only 15 mins of the 1st half left) certainly very rapid

The trialist is part of our academy system. I didn't think he looked anywhere near first team football just yet to be honest.

Probably not to be fair, must be horrible as a trialist trying to ensure you don’t cock up.. someone I never had to worry about with my shamefully poor natural ability

With the very good saves Callan made before our first goal, to let Hartigan shot slip under him was poor considering how he handled before.
