Went to the Barry game (finished 3-5). I had to leave at 2-4 cos I wanted to get the earlier train and I was cold - intrepid reporter that I am. Nyakuhwa had a couple of good chances in the first half but it was all a bit flat and we conceded just before half time. Second half started with a bit more zip and deservedly equalised with a nicely worked goal from George then we understandably conceded from a set-piece (they were a bit bigger than us). Got a bit loose after that and we conceded again but immediately pulled one back with another decent goal this time from Perrett.

The goal shower subsided until we gave away something of a needless penalty. Then I left so there's a chance I missed the goal of the century. Trey George, I think, was our man of the match, but my eyesight isn't what it was. Slipshod at times and made things tough for ourselves but hopefully just getting back into things. That's two 3-5s from two pre-season games for the u21s; has Ossie Ardiles joined our coaching staff?
