    It's a friendly, not really any need for such a over reaction

    Mayenda has had a poor pre season for me. Still young but we can’t be missing the chances he has in the PL. I wonder if the club will target one more striker

    Wouldn’t say he’s a disgrace like but he has been poor this pre season

    Mayenda is 100% better when he can drop in, hold a defender off, spin and run. In the box he is inconsistent at best. Definitely can improve though so no stress.

    That shows perfectly what kind of person you are

    I've edited a few posts that include the deplorable abuse, and LD is now banned from this thread.

    Enjoyed that.

    2nd half pace was very slow but still much the better side. Not worried about Mayenda at all, he looked super sharp on the term, finishing will sort itself out, he had spells like that last season and just got stronger and stronger. Arguably his best preseason game in terms of overall play

    So he’s gone from being a donkey to immense to what….? I’m looking forward to more insightful observation.

    Good run out and performance for the lads.

    90 minutes in the legs and not a bad performance at all

    Good workout that, loads of positives to take

    Roefs looks very good and I thiught Reinaldo was so solid throughout

    Love diarra Sadiki and Talbi - have a feeling all 3 are going to the top.

    Adingra I'm still not sure about but he does feel the type to put in some match winning performances

    Mayenda was very good 2nd half but should have scored at least 1 today. Thought he was so much better in the 2nd half and linked played really well and gave his teammates an option throughout

    Another good workout and more minutes in the legs and more used to each other. Roof looks assured with the ball at his feet.

    Only saw the second half but nice to see and hear us looking a bit sharper in the final third and getting a clean sheet.

    I know results don’t really matter in pre season but feel in some games we haven’t got the result we deserved so nice for the lads to get a win.

    That excitement is building now for next Saturday. Haway the lads.
