What with Covid it well could be. Hopefully with isolation rules disappearing soon if you have been double vaccinated, it will make things easier come the autumn.

As for the game today, a very mishmash team in terms of new faces that we haven’t seen before today.

Damian Las started in goal. Presumably on loan from Fulham, recently had a loan spell with North Carolina. He saved a penalty right after half time and settled in to the game well.

Imran Uche, previously with Hampton started in CB and thought he did well. Tall and strong. Ahmit Biler started at left back, formerly of Harlow, he did okay after a shaky start. Ayodeji Owoeye started upfront, previously at Grimsby. Looked to run behind and dribble with the ball but was quite ineffective.

Yate started the better of the teams, had lots of possession in our half, a number of corners and long throws. However we dealt pretty well with these. The last 15 mins saw us grow into the game without really causing too much trouble.

The second half we carried on well with possession after Las saved the penalty. James Mansfield made a mistake by not listening to Terry, trying to play on the halfway line when the best option as the opposition pressed was to clear. They nipped in and finished well. 1-0 against the run of play.

We managed a quick equaliser, very scrapping through David Taylor who had a good game. However Yate threatened again, Mansfield being turned inside out before Las saved but couldn’t prevent the rebound. We then changed formation as we went for an equaliser but didn’t create very much, Ewington hitting the outside of the post/crossbar with about 5 to go.

Much to improve upon, players to come back in but not the best start. Yate will probably be in the bottom half again so not great to give them 3 points but considering our team seems to have been put hastily together today, we didn’t do too bad. I think Uche looked good but we did lack physical strength further upfield. Biler and Las seemed capable for this level. Onwards and upwards.
