Kim Mitten reports that Daggers had 1 shot on goal in the second half Moose was AWESOM! Maher was far too wayward with his passing tonight. As for OJI he's a great tackler but does have a problem reading the game, playing at right back he naturally drifts into the center of the park which leaves the right hand side completely open.
Our No 1 reporter Tannis reports that Moose played ablinder as did his MOTM Flavs, Clarky was worthy of praise. Hoops had a gilt edged header from 6 yards out that went more towards the corner flag than the goal and agreed with Kim that Maher was a bit off tonight but reckons that OJI even though playing out of position is worth a shout.
He got better the longer the game went on. Both our guys agreed we didn't wake up until the last 15 or 20 minutes or so and we could have nicked it with Moose's 2 efforts.
The boys want to do the pretty stuck with little trickes and flicks which didn't come off, Tannis added. Not really a game to come too and showboat really and should have played the simple stuff more.
Yes the conditions were terrible but they are professional footballers and should be able to adapt, then again it is a preseason friendly.
For SoL Sports Extra this has been Wino in the nice and dry studio with a bottle of red and thanks goes to our reporter tonight, Tannis, Lee Jnr B#####D, Bluemoon and Kim Mitten.
Till next time so long.

Fairly poor performance from the boys today. Never really looked like scoring and my neutral friend pointed out that if he hadn't have known which team had played in the championship last season he would have said it was the daggers. Sqwuad of 16 today, and only 12 players featured. Tilson mentioned that none of the boys that played today will play against Maldon. He was right to play this Oji kid at right back as he said that he was may be looking to bring someone in as cover and if we wrre to sign Oji he would probably have to play there at some point.
Putting my scouting hat on i would say that he has potential although his positional sense leaves a lot to be desired. He is strong quick and powerful and decent on the ball but lost his man too easily, it's fair to say right back is not his preferred position. As a centre back he could be a good aquisition and he doesn't bottle any tackles. Not very good conditions to make an impact but he was ok if not flawless.
Nobody played particularly well, although it was clear to see that Clarke is a very good player and AB is worthy of his god like status. He never missed a trick today. Nobody really shone at all.
The Glyn Hopkin Stadium me thinks, the daggers fans still call it Victoria Road.
