"Friendly" Fraserburgh

[Hondo]

After control of robust agricultural start by referee, there was little threat from the Broch. 4-0 was quite flattering, though less than challenging.
Arbroath, on the other hand degenerated into 11 players in the second half in spite of scoring three goals. It was comforting to see so many available trialists but it was all a bit confused at the end. I'm sure the manager already knows his TEAM. Let's hope we can afford them, and can keep them and the stylish football of which they are capable.
Surprised there were pies left at the end of the game as Fraserburgh defence seemed to have consumed more than their share. No excuse for "offsides" by Arbroath that it was because the defence couldn't turn round. Never seen so much "getting rid" by a defence.

A fairly easy win and as Hondo said a bit confusing with so many subs and trialists. Thought the Spanish guy in the number 8 shirt looked a tidy player and used the ball well. Two more goals from Kane Hester after coming on as a sub for the last 15 minutes or so.
Nice to see Lewis Coult getting a goal and having a bit of banter with the fans when warming down after being subbed.

Agreed it was a strange game with so many changes. The trialist number 8, Sergio Cecillia, I think, stuck out a mile. Always looking to find space, rarely wasted a pass. Spent first half as defensive midfielder, getting the ball from defenders and finding team mates. With Clarke filling that role in the second half, Sergio was sent forward and played a great through ball for Coult's goal. Defo worth another game or two imo.

A word of praise for Hester, certainly knows the way to goal.
