    Just back from the match. Had the pleasure of sitting next to Tymur Tutierov’s mother and younger brother. Had a nice chat with them, they’re so proud of him but unfortunately only here for 3 weeks then back to the hell of Kyiv. Glad he had a pretty decent game.

    Anyone know if Speakman or Ghisolfi were at the game today?

    Rigg is fine. Recovered from ankle problem and will play full part in Portugal.

    Thought Diarra was great considering it's his first game with us. Already linking up well and spreading the ball around brilliantly at times.

    Mayenda and Isidore playing like they haven't had a break.

    Mundle looked good

    Defence looked solid both halfs

    Overall a decent first pre season game all things considered

    I would love to see him make it Jarca. I've seen him a few times for the academy sides, but he looked to have developed in stature and confidence today

    He's better than that imo ...

    ... I'd have him on the bench in front of dozens of other possibilities.

    Mayenda as a kinda 10 is an intriguing prospect. Wonder if that was just a minutes thing or if there’s more to it?

    Him and Roberts both do damage in that position. I don’t feel we need to buy for that role.

    If we can get a level up 10 maybe, because playing Browne furthest advanced makes no sense, but we have 2 lads who can thread balls through from centrally both had assists from the 10 position in second half.

    It’s a great option to have.
