Following hot on the heels from Saturdays win at Slough, tomorrow night we visit National South newcomers Tonbridge Angels - managed of course by former-U Steve McKimm.
With emphasis at the moment very much on match fitness and getting minutes into the players I suspect we’ll see some rotation with the starting line-up. A couple of things to ponder - will we see Butler, Bennett, Barden and Eastmond feature having all sat out the Saturday’s win and secondly, by all accounts the trialists came away with good reports - I wonder if they’ll feature again tomorrow night (or at least some of them).

Am I right that Tonbridge have one ex-U in their ranks now. James Folkes? Defender we had in one of our Conference South seasons?

I am looking forward to this. Bringing a couple of friends with me so hopeful that it will be a blast.
Who else is popping along?

Sutton came from behind to win 2-1, both our goals thumping strikes from Aaron Jarvis. His second was set up by a piece of classic wing-play from some young whippersnapper called Craig Dundas.

Crossley Lema hasn't featured yet either. Yep good point, he played the full game last night at right-back and I personally thought he was excellent - good attributes, able to repeatedly bomb up and down the flank and looked like he’d been playing there years. |

Someone tell the skipper to get some shorter shorts. The ones he wore made him look like a dwarf. Apart from that, no complaints so far!

Thought it took us a while to get going last night. Angels looked sharper but then this was their fifth match of pre-season so perhaps not surprising. The pitch could have done with a mowing too as the ball seemed to hold up quite a bit.
Looked decent in attack again. George Tosun is a threat but finishing wasn't a strong point and one assumes Will Randall, having been signed, means Matt G knows enough of him already. Dundo's cross for the second was brilliant and a great finish from Aaron Jarvis.
Another good work out for pre-season for both teams although Angels seemed to get the hump with the ref quite easily and levels of the dissent they showed would not go unpunished in a competitve match.
Second half 'keeper from Oxford Utd U23 and has played for Hampton & RB and Banbury United, presumably on loan.
