Taunton Town vs Exeter City friendly match day thread. 7.45pm ko

[Exehausted]

Taunton fans are restless. The sale of alcohol here has some extra restrictions this evening.
Something apparently to do with rules relating to when they play a team from a higher division?
KO a little delayed to let all supporters in.
Just started now 7.50.

Thanks Bridgy, I wondered why nothing had been reported yet. I'm sure I'm not the only one waiting for your updates!

Scott and Craig are here with their laptops so I'm sure their updates will make much more sense than any I post.

15 minutes in literally nothing significant to report.
Very scrappy from both teams so far.
Usual suspects making noise for Exeter in the sun behind the goal.
Sounds like they pre-loaded before getting here.

30 gone. Still not much happening.
A couple of nice crosses from Jack Sparkes.
Aamir Daniels on for Harrison King.
Looked a planned substitution.

We'll that's 45 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
Very soporific stuff.
Looks like a similar 11 to Tuesday are warming up for the second half.
I can see Caprice, Hartridge, Cheick, Dieng, Jevani, Coley and some youngsters.
I can't see hattrick hero Sam Nombe though.
I haven't won the half time raffle either.

Got going a bit more as the half went on and but our passing is slow and a bit heavy at times. We are makeshift and lightweight up front with MJ and Alfie Clark who is normally a left winger so we have to be more accurate when playing in to them.

Josh Key v Jay Foulston has been an interesting battle. Cancelled each other out to a large extent although we have had a bit more going forward when King and then Daniels doubled up with Key pushing forward from their right of a back three position.

Let's see what the second half side brings.

Correction to the published second half line up. Harrison King hasn't come back on and Pedro Borges is continuing instead.
