Last year we panicked at times with a lead, even if 2 goals. Completely different this year and that was a superb second half effort against a team who have scored a lot of goals this year. Early days but that is 2 great performances on the bounce. 2 winnable home games to come so let's keep it going on Tuesday.
Nice to also put that level of performance in when on national TV |

Lancs have been dire in both the Championship and 1 day cup ( where they finished bottom). If Jennings is out they seem to collapse & Bohannon isn't having a great season. Players who have performed well over the last couple of years are bang out of form. With 2 going down, and only 3 games left we are really in danger of being relegated along with Kent.
Even in the T20 it looked as if we would come in the top 2 to get a home draw but let it slip. Now away in the quarter final against Sussex next week. |

Well what a game for him to start with. Can't remember when I last enjoyed a game as much as that. Other than a few minutes at the start of the second half we completely dominated. Fast, incisive and to be honest 3-0 flattered them. Talk about attack being the best form of defence. Good call on MOM, East was superb but Henry wasn't far behind and his strike for the second was top drawer.
Great day and up to 4th |

It's been coming since all the substitutions happened. Ours seem to have worked, they have done nothing with their own. |

We have stepped it up the last 10-15 minutes. Let's hope one falls to Hendo |

Their commentary team have just summed us up as "a bit pedestrian". Spot on so far |

Lost but it was an entertaining game. Like you say started to overplay it a bit instead of having a go. Overall an entertaining game from both sides. We should have at least scored, but they could have got another in the second half too.
Million miles away from the poor displays of last year, but it is still only 4 points from 9 and only 1 goal in the last 2 games with lots of attacking play. If we can be a bit sharper up front it could be a good season for us |

Shocking miss by McBride from 2 yards out immediately after the restart. |

Poor first 15 minutes but we have stepped it up since then. They have made some good blocks and EEL has missed with a free header from 6 yards out |

Last season we would have lost that game by a goal as we did many times. However we stuck with it and equalised. Overall can't be disappointed with that display as we played both short and long balls, mixed it up and played very little Tippy Tippy stuff like last year. D&R defended well, but although their keeper made a good save, Mitchell should have scored that free header in the first half.
I just hope we can get some more home wins this season, because those are the games most fans see and puts bums on seats. I think everyone will have enjoyed some good football today but the 3 pointers need to start coming in at the COA |

I went today. No Fireworks from him and he was stumped for 12. However he really looks to have a confident style and he was gutted to be out in that fashion when he was starting to put a partnership together with Jennings. Looking at the size of him and the way he times it I reckon he might be hitting it as hard as his dad did if he gets established.
Completely blew it in the last 7 balls needing 5 runs, after getting the game on track. 1 ball of the 49th over left,Jennings hits it to a fielder so declines the single he wanted and somehow Barnard gets himself run out leaving number 11 to come in and face the last over. He is out 2nd ball and we lose!! Pity because it was a nice day out and my first time watching us at Stanley Park. decent venue IMO [Post edited 28 Jul 22:28]

The Mac game on Tuesday was my first, and I was genuinely concerned after that game for the season as we were outplayed for 70 minutes by a team 2 divisions below. Yet 4 days later we turned in a really good performance against Carlisle. Much sharper, faster to the ball and unlike Tuesday we got a result we deserved. Would still say we are lacking a wide player with pace to burn but there looks to be some depth to the squad especially in midfield. I would also say we have a lot of quite small players, which could be an issue against some of the agricultural style teams, but overall pleased with what I saw yesterday.
A lot more direct than Tuesday at times although we almost played them in with the passing on a couple of occasions. Trialist B looked quite good in his cameo, Trialist A got about 2 minutes so didn't seem much point to be honest. Not sure who either one was. Hopefully we can finish with a decent 2 games before the season starts. I assume we will want to start with what is close to our strongest team in the Salford game, but it will be interesting to see if some of the trialists get more time against Avro, (or if we try a few new combinations/Tactics). |

When they were about 50-0 a mate called about going down today as the tickets were free. I said to hang on because they might lose a few wickets before the close but he didn't think so !!.
Genuinely embarrassing performance even though England bowled well. Let's hope Sri Lanka make a better fist of it. |

Unbelievable catching performance ( lack of) by the West Indies. 5 catches and a stumping all missed with 5 out of the 6 relatively easy and the last catch still a better than 50/50. Terrible shots by England and we would have been out for less than 250 against a decent fielding team.
However we have got the runs & let's hope we can get at least 4 days of cricket in. Will know by the second session if WI will be competitive but they were poor today in the field |

When Rodri didn't come out for the second half, I thought we might be able to get a lot more ball, but they have quality in depth. Rice had a poor game & hasn't been great the whole tournament, nothing like his Arsenal performances. Going forward I hope we give some of the younger lads the lead & that Kane becomes a squad player rather than automatic starter. I think it will all depend on if Southgate stays or goes. |

They only played 1 3 day game as a warm up. Hopefully they will now play themselves into a bit of form because you don’t want games over that quickly, even if England win
Nice final innings for Jimmy with 3 wickets but should have been 4 !!! |

Fair play to Southgate. most people would have thought it would have been Toney for Kane but he threw the dice with Watkins and it came up trumps. Although they were probably the better team in the second half, over the 90 minutes I think we deserved it because the first half was superb. I thought we would regret not going into HT ahead but now it's only Spain in front of us !!!. |
