An EDS team comprised of youth, experience (Bridge and Hargreaves), and trialists come back from 1-0 down to win 3-1 against Bury. Razak, Veseli, and Roman scored the goals.


Hahaha that almost makes it sound like a good recovery.The first half was about the most one sided awful game I have seen in years and we went in one nil down! I don't actually think Bury touched the ball in our penalty area in the first half ( maybe the goal was but I think it was just on the edge).

We camped in their half but looked toothless and lacking in ideas.Suarez and Roman naturally the best but just runing into no mans land most of the time and when they should shoot they didn't(that's mainly Suarez)

Bury were a non event and miles behind City for fitness,strength,ability but they organised well and deserved not to let a goal in.Hargreaves was functional and got 45 minutes in but offered nothing as an attacking creative threat.

Razak for Hargreaves and he scored the first but really it was just a keeper error as the ball basically went straight through him.Bridge made the next with a strong run that got him into the 6 yard box at the by line and Veseli scored after Hiwula somehow didn't.Roman got his goal cutting in from the left with the aid of a deflection and that was reward for his hard work.
Cheers for the report, how did the trialists do?


Francisco De Silva I thought was poor. Gave the ball away for their goal because he tried to beat a man stupidly and offered nothing going forward

Tomas Diaz Navarrette. Big centre back didnt seem to do much wrong but had almost nothing to do but tidy up. Need a tougher game to assess.

Sarafim Mihajlov. Just 45 minutes.Didnt show up well but the service was dreadful. Made quite a few good runs/moves but wasnt found.As he is quite lightweight he was never going to put himself about so saw little of him.Again need another game to see what he can do.
