    Here’s today’s Blues starting XI:
    Dickinson, Grimmer, Jacobson, Gape, Tafazolli, Wheeler, Vokes, McCleary, Horgan, Obita, Scowen.
    Trialist GK, Mehmeti and Al-Hamadi complete the team from the bench.

    Two good games for both starting elevens. Trialist A in the Bournemouth game certainly didn't do his prospects any harm at all some good saves & distribution was also good the one thing probably against him is height. Trialist B,C & D also fine I think E will have to go some to get a place, it was a good 90 minutes workout when you think the team probably hadn't played together. Talking to Matty Bloomfield on Friday evening he was impressed with what we had got.
    The Southampton game completely different game a proper watered pitch & a far better side even though it wasn't quite an U23 side with Wally Caballero in the Saints goal. Saying about goalkeepers height it's the first time I have seen Tyla Dickinson in goal & he certainly is'nt in the tall bracket either. JJ put a penalty away in the first half, McCleary & Tafazolli both scored in the last 5 minutes, a good workout for both teams who played the whole 90 minutes & it was 90 minutes no extras. Talking to somebody who was at the game in Chesham Forino was a spectator there. What was a little bit surprising no sign of McCarthy or Thompson over the two games.

    No idea Guy, watching the two games I would say we are in as a good a place as we could be only having lost Stewart, talking to Phil Catchpole on Friday night he was saying MK Dons have made about 7m or 8m from player sales this summer & it would be good to get some money in like that for the budget, then they could have as good a team as last season or it could all fall apart this season you never know.

    Are you saying Phil Catchpole said
    "MK Dons have made about 7m or 8m from player sales this summer & it would be good to get some money in like that for the budget, then they could have as good a team as last season or it could all fall apart this season you never know."?

    Bloody hell. So he is saying unless we spend some money that we don't have, we will have a worse team than last season and it could all fall apart.

    Very encouraging

    No Ron I don't think he was quite putting it like that it's alright selling players & making some money out of it, we know where we are compared to last season a lot of other clubs have no idea how the season is going to go. I was out last evening with a mate who is a Pompey supporter, Woopert might know more. Colby Bishop from Accrington was having a medical at Blackpool failed it, signed next day for Pompey on 3 year deal for an disclosed sum, probably didn't pay a huge sum, it certainly wasn't a free. He could turn out to be brilliant or not good at all. Get the first 10 weeks out of the way then we will know.

    EFL referees given new instructions on fouls, time wasting and player behaviour

    English Football League referees will be told to increase their threshold of fouls, cut down on time wasting and ensure player behaviour does not overstep the mark ahead of the new season.

    The PA news agency understands the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), the governing body of match officials in England, is committed to making the EFL a better product for the forthcoming campaign, which gets under way this weekend.

    It has worked with clubs, the EFL, the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) and League Managers Association (LMA) to ensure the key decisions made are acceptable to everyone in the game.

    Officials have been instructed to adopt a higher threshold for penalising contact in challenges, taking into account how much contact there was, the consequences of it and what the attacking player’s motivation was. They will also be more vigilant of sustained holding at set-pieces.

    After the 2021-22 campaign saw less playing time than ever before, referees will also be more proactive in curbing time-wasting and will be prepared to sanction players early on in the game.Participation behaviour will also be strongly managed to ensure incidents of dissent and other poor behaviour are stamped out.

    As well as the introduction of five substitutions this season, there is also a minor law change which sees goalkeepers now allowed to have one foot behind the goalline when facing a penalty.

    Although last season’s play-off finals at Wembley had VAR, the decision-review system will not be in place for the forthcoming campaign.The PGMOL is on a FIFA Working Group to help develop ‘VAR Light’ and its possible use, and that would be offered to the EFL if collectively the clubs in each division vote to implement it.

    That would not be a quick thing to happen, though, with around 12 months needed to set it up.The EFL campaign kicks off on Friday with Huddersfield hosting Burnley in the Championship.
