Southport 0 Woking 0

The first game of the season. After all the preseason talk it was good to get back to some football. Southport played well, there was some good attacking football and the passing was an improvement on last season. Ryan Robinson was very good and made some saves that wouldn't be out of place on the Match of the Day highlights, but Ryan wasn't the only player making great saves. Chris Lane, who remains part-time, put in a truely professional performance. My man of the match, Chris made some important tackles and kept the score at 0-0 with some goal line clearances. Dino is clearly a midfield player these days but he played some good football. Baker made some good tackles, but often dallied on the ball. Baker is my tip for being the first yellow to see a red card. Robbie Booth came on in the second half and looked like the player we had been told about when he moved to us from Chester. He had pace and wasnt scared to get stuck in. It might take me a while before I can comment on the rest of the team but I did notice Smith looking good and Hoolickin improved after looking lacking in confidence .
Southports best chance of a goal was a penlty taken by Boyd which hit the post.
Leaving the ground with the score 0-0 I couldnt help but think of the striker who left recently, Steve Daly.
Over all a positive performance.
