    Haven’t missed a beat for being a whole fresh 11.

    so far that's 22 lads not doing themselves any harm...yeh i know it is 'only' south shields but this heed/shields combo gives the lads a good early work out and they usually give a good account of themselves as well.

    Just noticing no sleeve sponsor, that’s a decent wedge of cash still to come in.

    Id be happy if I were Shields gaffer mind. Some really good pressing and one or two sticking to their task in CM. Got some work to do defensively mind.

    came on as a 10 in the final and playing very central today, without the pace to play wide maybe useful as a 10 this year too?

    Like Nectar. Hope he gets a shot in midfield, but a bit of versatility is definitely useful. Think Johnson has too far to go to make the grade but he’ll be putting himself in the shop window this summer.

    Might suit him better mate.

    Doesn’t need support, more outlets, loves the ball in tight space, pace less vital in there.

    Might be useful there. Would have been good to see him as 10 first half.

    Nectar very tidy and moves ball nice and quick.

    Definitely have both wide midfielders narrowing this half. Saw that from Mundle a bit too. Maybe part of the plan for the year?

    Aye rarely seen Mundle so far in from line for such sustained periods.

    Mundle was superb we mustn’t forget the lads we already had.

    Very fluid front 4, one always deep and then someone always left or right - feels like its:

    Abdullahi
    Aleksic - Mayenda - Roberts
