Think I might go along to this at 2 pm. Anyone else coming ?

I'm trying to get there, but things are not in my favour.

Matt.

Live commentary on Gulls Player tomorrow.

I shall be there - first ever reserve match!

I expect the team to look similar to this:

lavercombe
hutchings
deaman(?)
odofin
cruise
cameron
lathrope
craig
sullivan
yeoman
N thompson

mozika(?)

Pokey not fit enough for 90 yet?

I don't know, but I'd say it's unlikely that DM will feature, I simply don't think he's fit enough for pitch time yet.

I hope to see more of Lavercombe (assuming he was the keeper from the Rovers game?), he looks at least as good as Thompson already.

Matt.

Poke won't be playing, thompson is with the U19 team so the youth team goalkeeper will play. He did look good, kept the team in it certainly- the coaches are really impressed with him.

deaman is playing but odofin is not it looks like hutching will be slotting in at center half with a youth team player coming in at right back and mozika is nowhere near taking part in a game.

Who is Odofin?

Would suggest mozika is more than 2 weeks away then?

Tall, commanding and powerful young youth team defender

Once he manages to pass to a yellow shirt or keep the ball on the pitch we might have a player.

Once he manages to pass to a yellow shirt or keep the ball on the pitch we might have a player as far as mozika I would say a good two weeks before he is kicking a ball.

Alan Knill told the press: “We don’t go overboard after a win and we don’t panic after bad one result but, if I was one of the lads (reserves) playing against Plymouth, I’d be doing my best to get in the team for Rochdale on Saturday.”

Excuse me Alan, but surely it's a number of lads in the first team who badly need a kick up the proverbial backside, not those on the bench or in the reserves..?? If certain members of the first team are not currently up to the job, they should be dropped, and the reserves given a chance in the first team; they should not have to prove themselves in one friendly match; it's the dropped players who should be doing that.

Hence why i missed out- a fine passer of a ball!
