I also thought the No 5 played well, Malique Spooner. He played centre half in the 1st half and won a lot of headers. He then moved out to play right back in the 2nd half.
I'll see if I can find Dan's photos now to see if I can see the trialist warming up. Was he the lad wearing white boots?

We could go for Danny Rowe at Ipswich who did well for Lincoln last season.

Best three players in pre season, CJ, Mellis and Khan. Can we play all 3 with Cook and Maynard up top.BH_Stag wrote:Nice to get a good result, some positives but also some frustrating parts as you’d expect.
Maynard will score goals. He has an excellent first touch, links up play well when it’s in to his feet, and his finish was assured after holding his run well. CJ again showed what he can do to a defence as we’ve seen no end of times now, defenders are scared of him no doubt.
Aiden Stone’s distribution was impressive and he made a solid 1v1 save too. Mellis also showed why he’s an absolute must in the midfield, always showing for the ball and knowing what’s around him. A few stray passes but it’s almost like he felt he had to try and create as it wasn’t going to come from Macca or Bishop.
Bit frustrating at times to see moves break down at key times or before they really got going. Rose first thought is just to hit the deck and win a free kick (often the case last year)... it’s useful at times but sometimes you just want him to do that bit more. Macca seemed to play slightly more advanced which doesn’t suit him in my opinion as he’s just not calm enough on the ball in key areas and was quite wasteful in possession. May work better away from home for his work rate but Khan seems a better option there for me in finding pockets of space and giving people like Mellis options to pass to.
I think Dempster will be closer to knowing his XI after last night, though the White situation may change that a bit - hopefully doesn’t set him back too long. Would like Maynard and Cook to get a run out together Saturday and build up for Newport!
