Very impressive for pre season. Ekwah and Neil control so much of the game for us it is tremendous to watch. Bellingham looks to have a great awareness of them already. Clarke looks tremendous again and some cracking signs for Hemir. If we have Hume and Cirkin all season we will be really well balanced as well.
 
I think I saw Mowbray say that the plan was for this friendly and the midweek one to be 90 mins for the players again. So I'd imagine this is the planned starting XI for next week. And the team that play against Hartlepool will play the league cup game in the next midweek
 
Good test for us now, I’m sure it’s what the management want to see before the season starts

He is cover on the bench and nowt more. For me anyway. Solid squad player.

Yeh same for me - perfect sub.

But one would assume, unless Batth has a little knock or is managing something, that O'Nien is above him in Mowbray's thinking right now.
