Useful run out & thankfully NO injuries(that we know of). Be interesting to see who makes the plane tomorrow(guaranteed 1 player will leave passport behind). Anyhoo, on to the matter in hand, the 2nd half. Now, before anyone shoots me down, YES, i know its just a 'run-out', YES i know its the 1st match environment for most of them, OK?

Right, points to ponder, 1) we are still cr@p at defending, one of their goals was a 'speculative' shot from outside our box with none of our players anywhere near. Mathews will(imho) never make a goalkeeper(where's SJ?) 2) Jake O'Brien looks so mature & took his goal well after our 'best' header of the ball(according to some) totally missed it(tho, tbf, he was IN the box. his goal, he knew nothing about, it hit him & went in) Ferguson lasted the 30mins we knew about & played, what 3 positions in that time(jury's out). 3) Luka is, im afraid, well past his sell bye date. He still can't take a dead ball, his corners are so rubbish, the ballboys were more accurate throwing the balls back on the pitch. 4) Tayo Adaramola, is coming on leaps n bounds. Can see him seriously challenging Mitch for LB, poss this season, bodes well. The 2 Ex-Derby lads look good, not out of place.

Better 2nd half, but thankfully NO injuries, gonna be an interesting season, tho, i do fear for us 'down-under' Onwards & Upwards. COYP.

BTW, Becky, if you read this, wet haddock!

Thanks for the summary, Eagleman. Not sure what you intended with your comment about passports. GUARANTEED that someone at the Club has already gathered them all, just as one would do when chaperoning schoolchildren on holiday.

Dont worry he will be gone before the season starts

He is going to Standard Liège on loan, until his contract runs out, we are paying half his wages
