Team v Real Sociedad: Bunn; Whittaker, Turner, Martin, Olsson; Snodgrass, Howson, Johnson, Redmond; Fer; van Wolfswinkel. Subs: Nash (GK), R Bennett, Ayala, Garrido, Tettey, Butterfield, Hoolahan, E Bennett, Hooper, Becchio.
Absolutely mental reaction from some of our fans to the line up. Apparently Ruddy has been sold and Gary hooper is never going to get in the England Squad for Euro 96 if we don't start playing 4-4-2
Ruddy is not famed for his dancing skills haha I think he may be so massive there is actually someone behind him
Could be our team for the beginning of the season depending on how ready for competitive football johnson is. Think Martin and Turner will compliment each other better at centre back better than any other combination personally. Also interesting to see how how son and fer get on sharing the supporting responsibility.
Really? It may be related to the upcoming England Friendly and being prepared for that? In any event it's not worth risking him in a friendly. He's got nothing to prove to us, he's number one no question
very good tweet to see from paddy davvit #ncfc Fer catching the eye early on. Knitting mid to RvW very intelillgently #edp24 #pinkun
What I have found interesting is the fact Fer has been using number 10 as his number. Not that you can read much into it!
Had a convo with a mate at the match, he is saying Fer running midfield totally and Redmond very dangerous. Rvw movement is also top class, I am getting excited now about next season! Our team has been transformed into an attacking force. I know its only pre season but I can already sense hat we are going to be totally different next season and exciting to watch!
This is a team that qualified for the Champions League. They are probably in and around the standard ofLiverpool.
