Like I want to see more of him. Strong in the tackle and covered a lot of ground.
In the sense that he impressed you... Or you literally want to see more of him over Pre-Season before deciding on whether he can be an asset this season?
Went with some cafc mates and our kids plus a couple of non cafc mates and had a great day.
Typical first pre season game against a poor Welling side. I really really like the look of Mitchell he's a proper footballer. Number 23 (not sure of his name looked lively as well)
My non cafc mates were raving about Ness and couldn't believe he's as young as he is.
I think we need at least two reliable set piece takers. Henry and Fraser presumably, but I noticed Payne took a decent corner or two yesterday, he is not exactly a player to attack crosses anyway.

Bit of both. Thought he looked good but I’d have panicked if he hadn’t and I would like to see how he goes over the next few pre season games.
Never see the game it's expected but still a decent result Let's hope we can build on it & you never know we might even beat Millwall now that would be good here's hopping
A very early runout, so performances don't really mean anything. Ditto next week which is Dartford's first match, so we may be ahead of them in terms of fitness, which will make a difference.
A game like Saturday was about fitness and not getting injuries. Yes, the second part fell down a bit but hey ho. I don't know Holden's approach but I think the last pre-season friendly should be treated as the first league game in terms of selection and prep.
I’m surprised how positive Welling fans seem to have taken it, which I think it’s probably down to desperation for something positive to happen to them. But personally I think it looks awful.
There is very little street parking round there with all the opposing roads being terrace with street parking issues. Sticking 100+ flats there with zero parking, with addition a football ground with zero parking, seems like madness. Lots of commercial units built into it, not sure what of value can go there position wise out of the high street without parking. And 3 sided grounds are just awful. Suspect the standing behind road end underneath the flats will need to be very shallow as well.
Can see local residents kicking up a huge fuss and don’t blame them. There’s another 50 flat proposal also in for planning 100 yards up the road on the corner of Danson Lane.
I’m assuming that there is no fan accommodation at the Danson Park end because the pitch will have to be shifted that way to allow for the flats at the PVR end to be built. Everything effectively shifted southwards towards the park.

DJ still can't take corners

Did he have a key hand in the first three goals?
The beers were in full flow though!

I notice there's no pictures of the park end of the ground, I wonder if it's just 3 sided, or just a small terrace along that end?
Won't need to worry about a stray ball hitting a 486 now, instead it'll be clattering into someone's kitchen window
