After getting the first game out of the way after a six month wait, the second is just three days away. The lunchtime kick-off means many will be working so not such as great a demand for live streaming if indeed available.
The emerging players of a team that was until very recently a Premier League team should present an entirely different challenge to that of Helmel Hempstead with more pace and a better passing set. I wouldn’t call it an injury crisis yet but the lack of senior players on the bench was a bit of an eye opener today with echos of the situation from 12 months ago with mainly midfielders missing.
The good news is that Johnson is expecting a couple of players back on Monday and another couple a week or two after that, or before the season starts, just as well with just 14 senior players available against Hemel! That included two second years pros, both actually having good games and an unused keeper. Even the first year pros were nowhere to be seen.
So, all being well, maybe two out of Andrews, Hall, Little, Buse and Warren will be making their debut for the season in this game.
