    I’m very happy with seelt O9 and Ballard as options with two new CBs coming in

    apart from a 5 minute spell from sporting we’ve been the better side here and these boys have hardly played together

    promising signs

    that would’ve been some goal from Eli too, le fee pulling strings

    Definitely. I worry for Ballard though, not sure he is built for such a high line, usually slow on the turn.

    I know it’s a friendly and we’re 1 down but we don’t look out of place here.

    Really really promising for me as they go off for their cooling break

    Only concern is how high our backline is, but as scout says, if we bring in two pacey centre backs then that's less of a problem

    Agreed. Think he’d struggle personally

    Second half could get messy if its the same backline as Saturday and even without Harrison Jones in it...

    It’s a concern because they’re learning it

    we’ve got 6/7 pre season games to go?

    with reinforcements to come

    I’m impressed at how quick the midfield is learning each other too

    I’m slowly approaching the point where I actively want Seelt in our starting XI. That passing out of defence is something else. The Mayenda one earlier of course but that one a minute ago where he split them all the way through to ELF? Tasty stuff! If this continues through preseason I’ll be well pissed off if he doesn’t start against WHU

    I was about to say that this is like watching another team.

    But then I remembered that it is :emoticon-0100-smile

    He’s been fine, the goal was an offside trap gone wrong they recovered to defend it happens

    Seelt passes the ball well.
    Noah covers earth. I might get a t shirt like that, though people will think I’m.a religious loon.
