Too many midfielders of approximately the same quality and no apparent sense of what the first XI will be when the season starts. The match against Evesham will be very important in these respects. |

A disappointing performance and result. I would have thought Craig would have started with the 11 players he thinks will start against Banbury for first game of the season and then maybe tweak before Evesham game.
Having now watched the Exeter game and the Bideford game, I am struggling to see where the goals will come from.
Positives for me are that Billy Lowes looks a decent player and did well in both games. Ed Bastick looked good in spells and started the 2nd half really well last night and he was then subbed.... Didn't really see enough of Tom Bearwish in either game to judge but looking forward to seeing him play more.

Agree with both above & Craig's comments in the Echo. We seemed almost clueless up top, weren't many, if any, decent crosses put into the box for Phil to attack or bring down to bring other players in. Tom Blair, David Jerrard & Phil all had chances that should if at least tested the keeper rather then being straight at him. Ollie Griggs looked bush in midfield in the first half & the little I saw of Bearwish he looks sharp. Thought Storey looked composed as well.
Personally I think Craig needs to start his 11 on Friday, at least give it 45 mins. Another worry for me is the lack of voice on the pitch. In years gone we've had Jem or Nath screaming for 90mins trying to get something out of the players but last night I didn't really hear anyone. Hopefully when the season starts the more experienced lads will take up this mantle.

Anyone know much about Lovibond and why he came off so early?

Whose to say Craig has not started his X11 already. Game to game your X11 will change depending on formation / opposition. For the first time in a few years we seem to have genuine numbers all about similar ability offering different options. Whether there good enough we will find out in the coming months.
I feel people in general look too much into results I seen Portland and came away enthused. Saturday and last night less so but I'd rather know our flaws now still a week and a half 3/4 training sessions and a game to iron out. As let's face it pre season games lack real intensity sides at different stages of pre season.
Stand outs from last night Ed Bastick the guy is rapid. Tom Blair looked good down the centre and got into good positions. Bowles oozes class but a fully fit and focused Gary is better than most centre halfs in this and the league above.

Heard rumours that DPD has gone to a higher league club? Does anyone know anything about this talented teenager?

Heard rumours that DPD has gone to a higher league club? Does anyone know anything about this talented teenager? Not heard anything but last seen playing for us v Portland, shame if he has gone on. He had a good game v Poole so are you suggesting Poole ?? Also anyone know how Jordan Lovibond & Leighton Thomas are injury wise as Jordan certainly went off injured but not sure about Leighton, looked ok when he came v Exeter but looked out of it when he came on last night and then was subbed so not sure what that was about. Agree with posts above not sure if Craig knows his starting 11 seems we have 20 or so players so would have thought some may have been released after last night to reduce the squad size. Roll on friday as only a pre season friendly but the last one so surely is important to play the first 11 and make some changes around 70 minutes to tweak the formation/personnel to see if things gel. |

Yes it would be a shame if DPD has gone but it looks that way as he hasn't played or been mentioned the last two games. Like Ed, he is very quick but has more about him as a player. Googled his name, what a pedigree for a youngster!

Googled his name, what a pedigree for a youngster! Poole u21's and Weymouth reserves? Oh, you're definitely related to him!  Do we know where he's supposedly off to? |

Anyone know much about Lovibond and why he came off so early? I can tell you a lot about him, basically he's no where near good enough for your level. If you want someone who will run around a lot and hastles defenders he's your man, if you want someone with quality on the ball, then he isn't. He spent last season on the bench at Bridgwater Town in a team that won 2 games all season, he's 17 years old and pacey, but lacks technique and know how. Lacks touch and passing ability. Without trying to be too hard on the lad, he's out of his depth at Dorchester. |

Just to say, not related to DPD and thanks for info, as didn't know he played for Poole U21's but now I do! Also from reports being read, he played for Weymouth First Team last season. Good to see lots of talent coming up through the ranks with both DPD and Leighton, can only be for the good!
Thought I would throw in this article that I found:
