City v Bognor

If you're going might be good to take your raincoat. Monsoon like rain, thunder and now hail here in Dorset, heading your way!

According to twitter the line-up is: Southwood, Welch-Hayes, Straker, Case, Jones, Artus, Lemonheigh-Evans, Murphy, Jarvis, Morgan, Watkins. Subs are:Ball, Lucas, Batten, Rigg, Diallo.

Seems a pretty attacking team.

Could be why we're 2 down in 27m !

2 - 2 now with 15 to play. Defence needs to sort itself out though.

Probably the most remarkable opening day since the near comeback at Chelmsford.

Thought we were unlucky to not leave with a point but the new-look back four, which I think started against Yate, looked a bit edgy. Southwood looked assured.

On to the next one.

Certainly an entertaining game and probably a very enjoyable one for Bognor fans and any neutrals. Three of the five goals were real crackers and there could have been several more.

Poor finishing and defensive errors in the first half cost us dearly - let's hope for improvement in these areas on Tuesday to get us off the mark.

There are 3 minutes of highlights on the National League website if you go to the South results page.

Don't remember it being quite that quiet in the second half.

Fairly clear that there wasn't a foul on the keeper right at the end although as Watto actually caught the ball and threw it in the net can't really claim it was a disallowed goal!

Bits of that looked like it was filmed from the Butlins complex, or another County. Also good of Pitchero to plaster their names all over it without acknowledging Bognor at all. Still, they do it with articles on there, complete plagiarise work Henry or I carry out, so I'd expect nothing less.

This whole highlights things riles me, and I only watched it because I wanted to see our goals again. Won't be able to on Romans on Demand as they wouldn't allow us to film from the gantry, an alternative view would've been pitchside by a corner flag. Handy.
