I didn't go. I followed it on Twitter.
Two nil and we mucked it up. ☹️

Also followed it on Twitter. Did well to go 2-0 up in the first 30 but I guess defensively fell apart in the 2nd half.
Sounds like we conceded the first three goals in similar fashion - balls through the middle/in behind.
We've been a bit leaky the last few games, obviously with a totally new defence they'll needs time to gel but hopefully they can work on ironing out the issues by the start of the season.
Anyone go to the game?

I know friendlies are all about match fitness, team gelling, trying different formations, trialling players etc but, apart from Whitstable, we do seem to be shipping goals. Still got a few games to get it right though (we hope)

Trying not to read too much into it as pre season, but agree we’re shipping goals.
I went to peacehaven game, thought Vint looked like he was struggling for fitness and not in great shape and Penney looked a bit shaky and low on confidence. Both new full backs looked like very good prospects though, liked Shaw at left back.
I’m sure it will all come good though, keen to know the status of most of last years squad - Gondoh, Moore, Dalling, Ayo, Tamplin, Pritch etc

Manager on signing Vint
“Ronnie fits the mould of a player I like working with. Maybe he has lost his way in the game, and I offer players like him the chance to come in and enjoy his football; our chats have gone really well, and I plan to work with him before we go back in for pre-season.
“I know if I get Ronnie Vint fit and enjoying his football, I know I will have one of the best in our league. People forget he is still only 26, so he has not even hit his peak yet”
Maybe still work in progress

Ah I had forgot about that - makes a bit more sense now.
Hopefully he can get on the straight and narrow and we can have a consistent back 4, really hurt us early on last year.

I was at the Peacehaven game but it was difficult to know who was who. Was Ronnie Vint the No 5 that gave the ball away for the first goal? If it is he looked like he was carrying a bit of weight.
