It\u2019s always tricky to summarise games like Saturday\u2019s. On one hand we showed character to come back and get something from the game, while on the other, after going 1-0 up it\u2019s frustrating that we even found ourselves in a losing position.<\/p>\n

This is a team still very much evolving, and performances like this will not be uncommon, I\u2019m sure. As frustrating as that is, it\u2019s also just the situation we\u2019re in as a team right now.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how the fans reacted to another opinion-splitting afternoon\u2026<\/p>\n

New signings<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Optimism among the Loyal Royals was given a needed boost in the run-up to Saturday\u2019s Louisiana Day at the SCL, with Haydon Roberts and Ryan Nyambe signing.<\/p>\n

And it wasn\u2019t long until we got to see the two of them making a real impact in the blue and white hoops, with the former bagging his first goal and the latter providing an assist for Marriott\u2019s equaliser.<\/p>\n

First impressions are always important, and they made decent ones it seems\u2026<\/p>\n

Jack Marriott<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While Roberts and Nyambe were making their first impressions, this man proved his importance to the team yet again.<\/p>\n

It was a signing that raised a few eyebrows and had some debating his quality, but there\u2019s nobody doubting his ability now. He\u2019s a natural goalscorer, and they are priceless at this level.<\/p>\n

Marriott again, ole, ole\u2026<\/p>\n

An opinion-splitting performance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I think the general feeling at the moment, for me anyway, is that we are a team in transition. Yes, I detest that phrase as much as you do, but that is our reality right now.<\/p>\n

We will have good times and not so good times, but it will take time to find a real level of consistency. Again, Saturday\u2019s performance was one that left fans wanting more, while also praising some clear positives\u2026<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There are green shoots, that\u2019s for sure, but it will take time for those to turn into real, solid, consistent foundations.<\/p>\n

I for one am a lot more confident with Leam Richardson in charge. The football hasn\u2019t been glamorous by any stretch, and results haven\u2019t been perfect, but I\u2019m starting to see a direction \u2013 and it\u2019s a positive one.<\/p>\n

Next up, Exeter City at home on Tuesday. URZ!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
