as good as mike Williams may look id make use of leather at centre half because it will probably be his last season before a leauge club buys him
my concern is the defence

Looks like he prefers Marshall to Leather which is a worry

Everything else looks good

Good work out but not proof of anything until tackles start going in.

It was a good game to watch with many positive performances from the players.......did (Sean) Williams stop running when he came on?

Thought the game was a good test in that it maybe replicates what a top six Conference team will be like to play against and for my money the game could have gone either way. The penalty we got was probably outside the area, but then again, in a proper game the keeper would have been off. A sensible referee who did the right thing.

The goal we conceded second half was a direct result of five changed players not fully understanding where they and each other needed to be.....all in all I think the management duo have a real headache who to start and who to select for the bench. A good problem to have.

There's no way he'll play that team against Aldershot. I suspect he was assessing how competent his cover in defence was should Havern or Leather get injured. I thought Marshall did ok there though in fairness.

For me starting line up would be

Coburn
Densmore
Griffin
Leather
Havern
Cavanagh
Moult
Crowther
Clee
Gillespie
Reeves

Hard luck Lawrie, who has been good

I think after last night, we have a decent enough team to stay up.
Will be hard work though. Looking forward to start of hostilities.

I'll hold judgement until we assess the strength of the length, we looking fit, determined and together, having a nucleus can never be under estimated, that's why I think guisley will win conf north, regardless of what Barlow Harrogate chorley Flyde etc are spending

I think that, especially in midfield, everyone will get plenty of game time so Sean need not worry.

Also, this is the first time for a long time where we've had this degree of strength in depth.

The very fact that there are lots of discussions on which will be the first eleven - and that folks are agonising about leaving particular players out demonstrates this.

Having said that, top half is only achievable if our strikers are scoring very regularly. They are capable of it.

The pessimist in me is still worrying but that negative voice is getting quieter all the time.

I think somewhere between 12th to 16th and comfortable.

Agree today's team much stronger also the team that started that game is in worse shape than the team that beat Eastbourne because of Eddie having to finish and not helped that Potts and thornley were on bench rather than starting
