I think it would be Jayden Mitchel-Lawson that you'd have noticed, he had 2 or 3 good runs and has pace to burn.

Reckon he will be huge for us this year especially considering that was one his first league starts in a couple of years.  Some superb runs.

Didn’t he play over 20 games last season for Swindon?

It was something like 1 start and 22 on as a sub - presumably to use his pace v tired defenders.   He did play one game for Derby in English Championship under Frank Lampard though (on as sub) which is probably a good CV for this level haha.

I went into Saturday dreading it and expecting to get turned over by an Arbroath team coming off a very decent league cup campaign where they took 12/12 however I thought we played pretty well certainly better than anything we served up in the league cup. If we had a clinical striker we would of scored at least a couple.

Main positives were the performances of Nick McAllister and JML. McAllister performance in this game and Annan away should see him ahead of Houston in the pecking order for the foreseeable. JML also looked very lively and once he’s up to speed should be a massive player for us.

The negatives? Our failure to score again. I’m not sure I agree with Bullen when he’s saying he expects it to click with our current crop of forwards. Dipo could be a handful for most defences but I really don’t see him scoring the required amount of goals. It’s crucial we get a striker in asap. Our bench also was quite weak. Not much to come on and turn a game. Think that was evident when Arbroath went down to 10 men we didn’t really have the players to grab the game and get the winner.

All in all I left Somerset satisfied with the overall performance but counting it as 2 points dropped as Arbroath were there for the taking.
