[Notts78]

1-5 a few mins ago.

Nice start. I don’t read anything in to friendlies but it won’t hurt to have some of the new lads scoring.

Won't be getting carried away with that performance !

They were ****e and we were,well,not quite so ****e.

They could only draw 3-3 with Clifton All Whites on Saturday.

A fairly pleasant way to pass an evening, but a bit frustrating that the players didn't wear squad numbers so I still don't quite know who is who. The game was as expected, very one-sided and the score probably flattered them more than us. Hard to determine our playing style under 'Willball', because they never pressed us high so we never needed to piss about at the back. I spent a while behind the away dugout in the second half (which was about two yards away) mainly to listen to the new coaching team, and LW is definitely more animated and vocal than RH. I mostly liked what I heard, because the advice was to get forward far more than to drop back. I don't know if "treble, treble" is a common coaching term, but it was repeatedly used.

I didn't really like the new kits after seeing the pics, but after seeing both in the flesh I now dislike them even more. The away kit is so insipid it looks like something that has gone wrong in the wash and you would only use for gardening. The home kit just doesn't look like a Notts shirt, it looks like a hybrid of our worst ever home shirts. I realise you don't get points for stylish kit, but I won't be buying either of them even if I see them going for a fiver on ebay. It was noticeable that 'Langstaff 9' was by far the most popular name / number combo.
