Yes I totally agree a good workout. At Melkshams fantastic new Combined Football and Rugby grounds. But that's what around 7 Million Pounds buys you. Melksham were very organised and they were set up very defensively. Sometimes having up to 7 across the back with there loan front man Gary Higdon getting very little support. We must  have had 70 to 80% of the first half play but found it very difficult against the numbers they had in deffensive positions and they managed to match us for fitness for the first 45 minutes And we struggled to work there keeper to much in the first half. A decent 1-4 result in the end with lots of positives,  Jared in goal looked very assured in the limited action he faced. Some very good performances on the pitch yesterday with Dean Evans just the pick for me. He just runs and runs and likes a tackle.  I reckon we will see him in the starting line up next Saturday. Well we've saved the best friendly till last but disappointingly it kicks off at 7-00 pm. I know a lot of people are going to struggle with that kick off time. But really looking forward to the game, when we should at some point see Saturday's starting line along with Swindons, so should be a really good one. As has been said very big decisions for Mark and Tom to make and some very disappointed players.  😎

Yes I had to weave in and out a bit on my motorbike

I suspect some of their team may have to be back for bedtime!

And to quote their official account in the past hour: "there will be a number of young players in action tomorrow night."
