It's all about timing Jimmy.

Brian, with regards to Walshaw and Gillespie, you have to factor in their goalscoring ability. That's why I'd say Walshaw is better. It is quite important for a striker. But yes, in a years time I'll be able to make abetter judgement.

It's all been said but we were very impressive yesterday.  Reeves and Gillespie already forming a good understanding. Defensively apart from their soft goal we looked very solid. As Ballers said in his excellent post the penny is clearly beginning to drop with a few players even from last Saturday at Aldershot.

Bristol Rovers were predictably appalling. I didn't think beforehand they'd be up to much having spoken to a Barnet fan who saw them on Tuedday but they really were that bad. It'll be a long hard season for them. Slightly disappointed with the gate, thought it would be closer to 2000.

I was impressed with Dizzy at the MU XI pre season match and he continues to improve and get to know the lads.  I think he and Cav link up well. 

My opinion is that we are in for quite a ride this season  ;D

Excellent summary Ballers, pretty much agree with your whole assessment.

Pleased with all the new signings and think they will all improve as they acclimatise to the pace and physical demands which are both a big notch higher than CN.

Sean Williams struggled a bit in the physicality stakes but I can see him controlling the midfield in games where the play gets stretched maybe coming off the bench.

We will get a better idea where we sit in the next 2 games especially Gateshead at home.
