Hi all,
Many thanks for all your reports - I didn't even get to listen to the commentary on the radio yesterday.
I suppose for the first away game of the season, that the result was reasonably satisfactory but seems that the team can and must do better.
I was slightly surprised at the line up and in particularly playing Danny Stevens on the left wing.
Surely he should be challenging Carlisle for the RW spot, or at least coming on as a sub if Carlisle is having a poor game? I thought that was the whole point of having a competitive squad with extra options on the bench 
I am still not sure about starting Benyon up front as he did look somewhat lightweight in the pre season matches I saw - Bristol/Chelsea. However, he was the top pre-season scorer and apparently had a good game so hopefully would like to be proved wrong. I also like the notion that the strikers have a fight on their hands just to make the subs bench!!!
I suspect that Nicholson will start in games where we need to be more attacking such as at home and against weaker opposition - however, after starting every game for us last season, I like the notion that he has to fight for his place in the side.
I am still not sure about the Hargreaves experiment and will wait to see how that pans out -
Roll on Tuesday night - after losing at home to Altrinham, I suspect that Woking won't be looking forward to coming to Plainmoor
