Beveree Chat

1 up from Bunmi Babajide.

First half side appears to be

Curd, Taylor, Wiltshire, Cheadle, Campbell, Sorondo, Keeya, Williams, Triallist, Babajide, Triallist.

Think we've identified the 2 triallists but not 100% sure.

Lots of attacking intent so far.

Deleted my thread, didn't realise another was being created at the same time haha, but will say the same here. James Collins is doing updates on his twitter page. We are currently 1-0 up. https://twitter.com/nonleaguejames

Triallist makes it 2 nil after Wiltshire hits the bar with a header from a corner.

3 0 after an Alex Wall penalty. Kyrone Farrell is triallist.

Interesting - would be a useful addition. It always seemed that Gary McCann underrated the huge benefits he provided on set pieces.

Gone off injured after 10 mins!

FT 3-0.

Oh - maybe that's why he seems to have hardly played since he left us 2 years ago...

A great start and Julian is the only manager in the clubs history to have a 100% win record.

Few interesting trialists on show but will have to see if they reappear in subsequent games. Cheadle went off injured which is a worry but no idea if it is a recurrence of previous problem. Atkinson didn’t play but was there so presume not fit either. Hard to judge too much not knowing the strength of the opposition in each half but generally better in the first period and less fluid in the second with two separate XIs.

To be fair Farrell's injury resulted from a tackle. I see he didn't play at all last season having been at Braintree in 22/23 after he left us.

With a more limited playing budget it is even more essential that the squad is made up of players who do not have an injury history. Ok I accept that injuries are part and parcel of the game and that they will occur, but to fill up part of the squad this early with these players might be detrimental to progress this season.
