My first home game of the season. It was a nice night and despite the large number of cars there weren't many in the ground. This game had the fewest number of trialists of any I have seen so far, 7 of the starting 11 having played for us before. Blakeman was back where he should be in midfield with Powell and Beeley at right/left back.
The first half was pretty evenly matched and ended 0-0 with neither side having many chances on goal. Tranmere started the second half better than their first but it was Southport that took the lead with a great goal from Gray who was setup by new trialist Rodney Jack. Gray has now scored in every game I have seen him start, that must give him a starting place for the season. Chris Holland stands out as the best player Southport have and Sean Beeley made a good claim for a contract with some great tackles and good passing from right back. A worthy replacement for Chris Lane.
