Birmingham Legion’s new GK union.
Legion’s newest signing, Trevor McMullen, out for warm-up after making on the bench.
MVO is also out warming Delgado up. Though he is obviously also the GK coach, the veteran is in training wear, wearing gloves and taking full part. So if there’s an injury, it’s hopefully minor.

Halftime: NCFC 1-1 Legion
This was expected to be a low-scoring affair, and it’s looked like it so far. Big chances very few and far between, so Legion need to make sure they take advantage of theirs when they come.
How this didn’t end in a goal is beyond me.
