There are quite a few trialists playing. Only players who weren't that played that half were Addai, Ransom, Adebowale, Silva, Gallacher, Marshall and Oteh
4-0 at half time, already more than we managed against them last summer (when IIRC we had more first team players involved that day)
How many ways can you spell total domination? Other than two (good) shots it has been all Crawley.
We have to becareful about assessing players against a team that are, what, three divisions lower but the trialists are super fast and super skillful. Spoke with Jayden Davis from Millwall before the game - scored one, laid one on.
It was suggested that another of the trialists was Jack Payne from Swindon but I didn't think so.
Hard to judge though as East Grinstead are struggling to keep up. I think a few of their still haven't touched the ball.
Very entertaining though and for the third pre-season game in a row a goal from the keeper being caught in possession.

Let's see what the second half team can manage.
KEVIN BETSY'S RED ARMY!
Jack Payne - Quite short with a good engine and a very good left foot?
It’s the race between us and the England Women to ten
England will need to score 10 to beat our total this evening now
You might say that the standard of opposition was very poor but its good to hear us scoring more goals etc. Last summer we lost to Beckenham, drew to Burgess Hill and won 3-0 vs this team so I'm encouraged by the results so far (although they may not mean much)
This game was more about giving the trialists a run out, but you don’t gain much against a team 4 leagues below you. QPR was much more of a decent test, even though their first half team was clearly much better than their second half team.
You can only beat whats in front of you but as already mentioned an improvement on last season.
Indeed, and I was thinking if some of these players start to improve quickly under the new system this could be the year we actually do well in the Pizza cup
