20 min, still no score.  Very few notable chances, and best coming last few minutes. Started with a butchered effort outside the box by Malik.

Power countered and immediately got a clean shot off that hit the side netting.

We then won a free kick, and belted it into the wall.

Poor first half really. 

We weren't seriously threatened, luckily Bouzanis has only had one thing to do but their winger has pace that has caused us trouble several times.

Perhaps we are a little more positive in looking for the forward pass but we haven't been pressed much, not sure what would happen if we were, our midfield ball retention doesn't look much better than last season.

We still struggled to find space for Fornaroli up front, Kamau was bundled off the ball too easily by NPL level players.

It is pre-season but we don't look enormously different from last season

Muscat and Malik comfortably our best two players in the first half. That's bound to stir a few of the haters up. Malik is infinitely better at DM than as a CB.

Style of play is much more patient and thought out. I suspect we are looking to play more on the counter this season against an opposition that can actually get the ball off us.

Well essentially its same players on the same positions so we can't expect miracles and or a big turn around. It will take time.
