Predictable, given the weather.
Tonight's game might have been a useful exercise, as there are clearly one or two players who need match time and one or two areas of our game that need to be worked up. Defensively we haven't really been tight since the departure of Alan White, so it would have been good to try one or two things out in a match situation where the result doesn't really matter.
I know Quorn were advertising the game as "free entry", but presumably they were hoping to take some additional revenue over the bar? That being the case, coinciding the fixture with a televised (ESPN) FA Cup tie between Leicester City and Nottingham Forest (the biggest two clubs locally) might not have been the best idea. Maybe the postponement is a blessing in disguise for them, and it'll do them more good if the game still goes ahead but on a different date?
I've seen a few of the local EvoStik South sides this season including Quorn on two or three occasions. They're having a poor season and are in danger of relegation and, from what I've seen, I wouldn't expect them to have significantly stretched us. Loughborough Dynamo on the other hand are flying up the table at the moment, and Grantham and Stamford are both having good seasons in that division. Any of these might offer a better training exercise. But then presumably our managers' working relationships with those clubs' managers aren't as strong as with Lawrie Dudfield at Quorn?
