That said, at 3 up we got a little sloppy and it could have been 3-2 so plenty for him to use to remind the players about keeping their concentration for the full 90 minutes.
The p!ayers looked really fit and pressed well in hot conditions, we tried to play the ball, we had shots from midfield, Walker and Davies look as though they could form a decent partnership. Graham came on and learned what League 2 football is like and will presumably get more minutes so much to celebrate.
We have the luxury of Sweeney to add into the mix and hopefully, one of Rose and Angol will stay to fight for a place.
A lot to celebrate and still room for improvement which is all to the good

Preston is a no-nonsense defender, the complete opposite of Bennett.
Saying that, to say he makes him look average after one league game is bias at it's best

A steady and solid start to the campaign: the defence looking resolute, the football neat, tidy and positive, and the forward play was clinical when it needed to be. Was also really impressed how the forwards pressed all the way til the 99th minute, putting in a right shift.
Every player looked very good. Mal Benning the pick for me. Though got to say, every one of Flip-flops New signings look an improvement on the team - there's no passengers with these boys. No squad fillers or signings for the sake of things.
1 down 45 to go. Excellent start MTFC!

Ricky Miller and Joel Byrom both scored on their debuts. Johnny Hunt got sent off. Bennett and Taff started together at centre back for Posh. Oh, and County didn't win

In that case, Mr Flitcroft, not flip-flop, please Doomy

Don't you start too. It's a blooming nickname - one I started calling him on the day he signed. It's on this forum if anyone can be arsed to look.
I once had the nickname at work of alopecia. It was a nickname, no menace was intended by it and everyone got on with life. Folks need to chill their skin. As a bloke I like Flip-flop; as a manager he needs to win me round, but I'll certainly give him more time than the vast majority.
So Flip-flop is here to stay and I won't apologise for it. So there.
