v Wealdstone

[Reading Rebel]

Should be a stern test against NL opposition who have made some decent pre season signings.

Alfonso Tenconi is named in tomorrows squad????

Don’t worry we’re only paying economy class ticket to fly him in and out from America! It’s obviously meant to say Dobbo…

Why is it obviously meant to say Dobbo? Alfonso is in the squad. I don’t think he’s moved to the States just yet.

We have a few unavailable tomorrow, and with the weather due to be so hot we have Alfonso in the squad who has been training with us and who may be available for us over Xmas period, as this may save some legs, especially with the testimonial on Sunday also.

Dobbo is also in the squad.

Because quite simply he left us a while ago for America, why would any fan expect him to still be involved? Dobbo was mentioned being involved in the squad update but not named in the actual line up at the end.

Spoke to his parents at the Ascot game. He is flying out in a few days to help run a kids football camp before his term starts at Stanford. Good that he's involved in the squad tomorrow and may be involved over Christmas although I guess that may depend if Stanford are involved in post season.

From the kick off it looked like we set up either as a 4-5-1 or 4-1-4-1.

I thought we were excellent in the first half, controlled the midfield and were very unlucky to be a goal down.

Matt Lench had an outstanding first half and imo was the best player on view.

At half time we made 3 changes taking off Guy Hollis, Joe Dandy and Matt Lench and replacing them with Dobbo, Josh Jackman and Imran Kayani, switched to a conventional 4-4-2 with Scotty Davies moving into the back line along side Edon Pruti.

Unlike the first half Wealdstone started the second half on the front foot took control of the midfield from the off and with the blistering heat eventually taking it's toll on our players we ran out of legs looking like a side that were on it's knees by the final whistle. 

Early day's but it does look promising with maybe just the one player short of what looks like being a very good squad.
