My personal assistant notes that the contracts of 63 players have either already expired or will expire in the next 12 months.

You thought the doubleheader of friendlies was odd? How about a tripleheader, starting with our senior squad at Dunston.

16' - Warren goes up for a header off a corner & scores with ease (1-0)
22' - Paratore buries a nice centering pass from Clarke-Harris (2-0)
35' - Purvis inexplicably delivers an own goal at high speed (2-1)
Almost looked like he'd turned heel there for a minute, just wheeled & fired a rocket past Dovey

Halftime - 57% of poss, 7-2 shot edge, 70% passing to their 53% ... and our lead is just a single goal. I tell 'em to keep it up, notably Cofie looks complacent on the field & Hands didn't seem to be listening in the clubhouse. Let's see if he notices this
Sub Slaughter for Hands
58' - An own goal, Slaughter's long throw-in is headed by Seery, punched by the keeper and flies off the back of a defender right into the net (3-1)
62' - Sub Sinclair* for Purvis (tiring), Bembo-Leta for Clarke-Harris (knocked)
71' - Sub Lobjoit for Ricketts (tiring)
79' - Whitaker corner into the area for Seery, quick pass to Slaughter, quick goal (4-1)
89' - Sub Quinn for Seery
Fulltime: Blyth 4 - Dunston 1 friendly
Seery (8.4, MOM) ran them ragged indeed. Outshot them 14-5, had 56% of poss, completed 70% of passes, dominated in the air. Nicely done, as it should have been
----
Our Reserves are at Brewery Field to face Spennymoor
Bennett puts us up 1-0 with an easy goal off a centering pass by Harrison at 11'. Harrison buries a nice cross from Chinthengah at 19' to make it 2-nil. Switch to 5-3-2 at the halftime, try some Defensive for a change.
Fulltime: Blyth Reserves 2 - Spennymoor 0 friendly
Played a lot of people out of position in the second half, worked on defensive positioning and the like.
----

Our U18s head to Kingsley Park Stadium to take on Ryton. A curving shot beats Henly and we go down a goal at 16'. Ugly first half, multiple subs at the break in hopes of seeing something different. Offside calls back a goal that would have put us down by two at 65', we make another round of subs.
Robson hits the crosbar at 78'
Fulltime: Ryton 1 - Blyth U18s 0 friendly
Didn't play well at all, lots of poor performances today. Lousy passing (54%) and horrible shooting (0/6 on target) did us in.
