Our Reserves played Scunthorpe Reserves at Glanford Park,
Trialist D Nigel Seidu gets a red card at 24', giving up a penalty in the process. Seemed harsh, was just a takedown high in the area, but he certainly didn't make a good first impression. They airmailed the penalty into the 20th row. Kieran Gonzalez kept us alive in the half with several saves. At 50', trialist DC Calum Flanagan gave us an improbable lead with a nice header off a Branker freekick. 2 more saves by Gonzalez at 53', an offside call saves us at 54'. Bennett hits the post with a rocket at 72'. Trialist DM Ousmane Kone gets a hard knock at 76', needs lengthy treatment so we bring on our final sub, Reece Loudon, switch to contain. 3 mins added time .... and we survive. Amazing 1-0 win, Reserve squad or not.
