0-0 35 mins. Really enjoying this. First time seeing us pre season and can already see this is a better set up than last season. Time will tell of course. Olly Crankshaw is going to be some player for us. Evo got a warm reception which was good to see.

40mins 1-0 Rakeem Harper takes advantage of a mix up at the back. Looking sharp

Matched them all the way that first half. Not sure how close that will be to a starting 11 for either side but we look fit and balanced both sides

2-0 Big Innes immediate impact- glancing header from Whits cross. That’s what we want to see the big man do

Evatt watch- spent the first 20 minutes bellowing instructions. Spent the rest of the game arms folded. He ain’t happy.
