A few moment's juvenile behaviour from too many players marred an otherwise good night and a good contest between two decent sides. We look good at the back and front, although it's dispiriting that we've only got one goal from open play in the two games I've seen (Alfreton and Leamington) as our forward line is in a different class from last season (Knowles looked good on Tuesday). If only Platt can get some help to stiffen the midfield, I'd be even more encouraged. I confess that Abbott had his best game I've seen for a long time (particularly for most of the first half). I, too, thought it was a soft penalty.

In my experience there are very few players who haven't got dogs abuse from certain sections of our support over the years! Anyway, I'm very pleased he's got off to a good start.

My first sight of the team this season, and was highly encouraged. More urgency, pressing and movement than last season - front players actually looking for space! Tuton certainly seemed worthy of a longer look. The new signings impressed. Don't particularly want to be critical, but Abbott again spent most of his time going backwards and landed us in trouble a couple of times (their first goal, for instance).

Onwards and upwards....

Are we meant to care?

Only so that we know which club to put a curse on until he leaves it.

Indeed. Let's hope we can help him to overcome his problems.

I see they don't mention a conviction for fraud. Scally only needs to look at Evans' career. I rather fear he is a fool.

KL admission makes the £25 I paid for Derby's first leg play-off against Leeds seem good value (not that it was a particularly good game, unlike the second leg!).

PS Billy Howells was always a great favourite. It was a great thrill to meet him and have a chat and a photo at a supporters' meeting a few years ago.

Oh dear, Ken, you make me feel old. I think that was the season I started watching United (it might have been the one before), and remember all those players very well (rather better than some more recent ones). I particularly remember beating Bromsgrove 9-1 that season. I was a youngster and standing right behind the goal on the slag heap that was the Town End, with not many people immediately around me, as I recall. Ken Oxford let a fairly tame Bromsgrove shot through his legs early on, and I could hear his irritated mutterings. I don't think he had much to do in the rest of the game...... With even an 8-year-old's grasp of Geography, I could never understand why we were playing in the West Midlands League - as I knew how long it took in those days to visit my grandma in Wolverhampton!
