A good workout for the defence - I thought we defended really well.
Rather a pointless exercise for the midfield and attack, though - they were chasing shadows
for most of the afternoon. Let's hope they get more of a look in against Grimsby or it will
be a waste of time

First pre-season for me. Thought we looked decent, though whether a passing game  will work against tougher league opposition remains to be seen. Talking to Coalville supporters, they have lost some of their better players from last season so may not  be the force of last season.
We need a right back as we may need to play a back four against some opponents. A proven goalscorer would be an asset but not easy to come by. Most of our 'top' striker signings from higher leagues in the past have not worked out. Hopefully some of our young strikers will improve as the season goes on. We may also need a replacement for Tom Platt in defensive midfield.
Will be interesting to see how we perform against Notts County on Sat.
