We play a fitness friendly at Whitby

The schedule gave us more than a week off, I didn't care for that with so many players below match fitness, so we schedule a quick friendly to get work for a mixed squad. Seidu & Boateng will both start on the back line for example, but they're flanked by young newcomer Jefford and scarcely used youngster Joe Henderson.

Both sides miss by inches off corners in the first 15'.
They've had the better of it by a bit through 30'.
At the half we're just kinda ... eh.

ML Andrew Musungu picked up a knock but he wants to keep going.
Seidu (6.1) and Bembo-Leta (6.1) have looked poor, the rest of the defenders have looked fine (6.7 - 6.8)

We begin the slow parade of subs at 50'

71' finally sees a goal, as Boateng made a steal at midfield, passed to Niall Smith, who lead Leroy Chinthengah on the wing where he drove into the area and scored.

78' they equalized after we simply couldn't clear the area no matter what we tried.

81' Chinthengah shoots, gets his own rebound & then shoots wide

We end up with a disappointing 1-1 draw.
The good? Chinthengah 7.2, Boateng 7.1
The bad? Loudon 5.9 (his mistake led to their goal), Bembo-Leta 6.0
The worrisome? Carruthers 6.1, Seidu's bad first half (6.1 vs 6.7)
