There was not too much to report on the game itself which was pretty poor. The Hawks won it with a goal about 10 minutes from the end after we lost possession at the back and could have scored earlier but for good stops from the 2 young keepers City played in both halves. I think City mustered their first and only shot on target with about 2 minutes left
No one in the side tonight pressed a claim for first team inclusion, Digkacoi ( must learn to spell his name) looked very unfit and carrying some excess timber and Le Fondre didn't have a shot on target all game. None of the youngsters stood out and Havant deserved the win and it could have been by a greater margin. Cardiff simply didn't look like scoring or even threatening to make their keeper get his shirt dirty.
I know it was only a friendly but a disappointing performance, especially considering the level of the opposition and the lack of efforts on goal
