Well I went to today's game expecting the worst, judging by the feedback from the pre season friendlies, and I wasn't disappointed! We clearly have a young inexperienced squad with v little experience at this level and it showed against a strong Taunton outfit who barely had to get out of first gear.
Credit to the youngsters who at times played some neat stuff in the midfield but there was no end product and nobody to get on the end of several half decent crosses. I'm afraid I don't know any players' names at this stage, and I was none the wiser after buying a programme, but our tall blond no.6 stood out in the middle of the park along with a lad with dreadlocks. All the youngsters put in a shift to be fair but we were crying out for some players with experience at this level to help them out.
Reality is that if we don't get in some experienced players pretty quickly this team will disappear without trace in this League; harsh but fair I think. Next game up for the Devon Swans will be Poole Town away I think and hopefully there will be some new faces on the team sheet by then.
Sorry to be so negative after one game but that is the reality of our situation - Come On You Swans!
