Terras’ boss hails his side after stern test
By Adam Summers
TERRAS’ boss Brendon King was “over the moon”
with his squad’s first pre-season run out against Npower
League Two side Gillingham.
A single goal from ex-Leeds United midfielder Curtis Weston
on 33 minutes was the only thing that separated the two teams
at the Bob Lucas Stadium as Weymouth put up a steely defensive
display against a strong Gills’ outfit, which also included
new signings Andy Frampton, Lewis Montrose and Danny Kedwell.
King said: “There were some good performances out there
and to be honest I am over the moon.
“The aim was to be competitive and I think we more than
held our own against a very strong side.
“We knew they would keep the ball for long periods but
we set out with two solid banks of four and made life difficult
for them.
“They were always going to create chances and on another
day it might have been three or four but our fitness was good
and we kept closing down right to the end.
“Understandably, we were a bit rusty in certain areas but
to put on such an encouraging display in our first outing of
the summer against a full-time pro side that came into the game
having played three friendlies already was very pleasing.”
King was particularly impressed with young defender Sam Poole,
who is hoping to make the step up this season from the club’s
reserve team.
He added: “I thought Sam was outstanding. He started at
right-back and then went into the centre in the second half
and to perform the way he did against such experienced opposition
was tremendous.
“He had a very good season for the reserves last year and
if he continues making progress the way he is at the moment
there is no reason why he cannot push for a first-team place.
“I also thought Richard Marshall-say was superb and there
were encouraging signs from a few of the trialists as well.
“It is hard to judge players when you are playing against
a League side because for a lot of the game you are without
the ball but I thought Kyle Bassett looked sharp and Tom Lang
did okay at the back.
“Peter Knox also came on in the second half and we are
hoping to take another look at him on Wednesday when we host
Eastleigh (7.45pm).”
The Terras also handed a cameo appearance to former striker
David Laws, who unveiled a plaque before kick-off to officially
mark the renaming of the ground in honour of late lifetime president
Bob Lucas.
King said: “Lawsy is a club legend and it was great to
be able to give him a little cameo. I was half expecting him
to go on and score but it was fantastic he was able to come
down and do his bit for the club and I would like to thank him
very much.”
One player that was absent from the clash was midfielder Rob
Wolleaston, who is still renegotiating the terms of his contract.
King added: “Rob has a bit of a cold about him at the moment
so I told him not to travel down as we do not want to run the
risk of it spreading around the changing room.”
