Good game in the end, we’d have won with that second half side if we started with it. 193 Gas went today Could you tell what formation we were playing today? GC mentioned in post-match interview that he tried a new system, so interested to hear what that was. I looked like we played wing backs and Little on the right of the central 3, you kid at wing back, looks like Trent Alexander Arnold in the position! First half never worked with Upson and Ogogo together, Upson played well but we have no legs and pace in the middle or real creation until Sercombe came on.

First half was a bit janky, second half better. Good run out after the first two games.

Nichols starts scoring and every Rovers fan starts fearing that he's the next player to leave free next summer. I think there’s some way to go yet. If he bangs in 20+ this season and we finish mid table again or better and he leaves on a free because his contract is up I’ll be a happy man.

Both hall and Tomlinson didn’t do too bad today I don’t think. Hall put that cross in for Nichols goal. First half was woeful 532 really doesn’t work especially with upson and ogogo in there both struggled to control any part of the game. Improved when sercombe and Russe came on for them at half time. The 9 subs on 70 minutes made a very big difference and that team showed why we are 3 divisions ahead and really should have scored hit the post and bar. Think we will need to play a formation with wingers this season to have any chance of winning games. 532 is far too negative and very much showed when in the first half Nichols and smith received no service whatsoever. Thankfully is only pre season and the team can learn from the poor first half performance

It looked like the first half team had been on the Jamesons.

It looks like our two starting centre backs, Rollin(?) & Kilgore are not even up to National League North standard, no wonder GC's trying to bring in Scales.

I think that would be an unsurprising turn of events, with our luck! I for one would love to see him prosper, and be gutted if he did and then left on a free! Maybe Nicholas can petition Wikipedia to include friendly goals on his stats...

I know that 4 minutes of 'highlights' can be misleading, but I'm really worried about our central defence now. We all know that Lockyer had shortcomings, but his positional sense and strength are going to be severely missed based on what I've just watched.

Kilgour started with Craig & Little either side of him. Leahy & Hoole as wing backs (did not work especially down our right with Hoole) Rollin came on at half time.
