Bientot Beauvue

Although we won neither of them, it sounds like we did okay in the two Spanish matches. Particularly good to see Danny Graham on the scoresheet again. Rather hilarious that Priskin got sent off but at least the ref had the sense not to report him.

I'm disappointed we've dropped our interest in Beauvue. He really lit up the game against Wealdstone, although I appreciate that Malky and Dychy can probably see the more relevant detail such as whether he could do it in the Championship. I guess the danger of signing him is he might turn out to be another Wooter, Ainsworth or worse, Danny Rose.

I shall be at St.Albans tomorrow to watch the developmental Horns and then, of course, at the Vic on Saturday for the Parma game. This pre-season seems to have gone by very quick and we don't really seem to have had that many games. Parma are obviously a serious step up from what we've faced so far. Maybe facing them is a clever bit of psychology so that by the time we meet Donnie a week on Saturday it will seem like a walk in the park.
