Aigburth FC 0–2 Beeston AFC: tea and triumph

Two goals and a clean sheet is exactly what you ask for in these opening rounds, though I noticed the left-back spent a fair amount of the second half contemplating his life choices. We will take the three points. Being top of the table after matchday two is a lovely feeling, provided one remembers there are thirty-six games left before anyone actually knows what they are doing. I have seen a lot of things in this game, but I suspect the celebrations will be limited to a slightly more expensive brand of tea in the dressing room. We have very little time to reset. We go again tomorrow for matchday three and try to avoid doing anything too alarming."
