Our last friendly of the season and it wasnt the most thrilling but it was pretty good. We were missing Chris Holland and Rodney Jack, the lack of their experience showed at times. It was a fairly equal match between the Conf North side and the League two side. Morecambe didnt bring many away fans with them, but they didnt miss much by staying at home. I think the Southport fans would be more encouraged by the performance than the Morecambe fans.
Kevin Lee hd another good game, Blakeman showed signs of his talent. Duffy and Prince are very good.
Southport should have taken the lead but shot over the bar and then less than a minute later conceeded a soft goal. But that was late on.
We had yet another trialist, Xavi Barro, who looked like Drogba and played like Tait. Marc Baker played well when he came on.
I am still concerned we havent solved the striker problem of last season. Other than that things look fine and it will be interesting to see how the squad do against Conf North opposition rather than League sides.
Of all the trialists Beeley and Jack stand out. Of those we kept Kevin Lee has improved the most over the summer. Prince has shown to be a great signing despite being slagged of by "fans" before the first ball had been kicked. We have been blessed with some great keepers over the last couple of seasons and this season is no different even if their shot stoppingis better than their kicking!
