Interesting that Ramsey and Colwill both on the bench.
I thought that they may become interchangeable. One or the other.
We may see neither then both.

Hey Aber dude.

Well you don’t get much shape when you use about 20 players.

I thought we played well first half and pressed them well. Second half was predictably disjointed.

However the positive from this match was that we played a very good team which will have helped us prepare for the season ahead. I suspect we will start with our proposed first team next week against Wycombe and then it’s off to Leeds. Then we will see how good we are. Prediction league should be up soon and I’ll be going for maybe a 1-0 defeat followed by a nice win against QPR.

I'm going to Wycombe. Looking forward to seeing how we shape up.

Porto were only better than us in attack and defence. Allsop number one as predicted. Ugbo and Goustas are a lot better than they have shown in the few sparse outing. Grant and Keiron Evans are a bonus. We must beat Leeds, I have money on us getting promoted. We can hope to avoid relegation, hope we finish top half or hope we get promoted,
 
In hindsight was playing a champions league team playing football alien to the championship the best pre season type of game?

Ps Hope Kieron Evans gets some game time this season

They were terrible looked like a team that’s never played together before……we made it easy for them to pass about us and showed nothing up front because they had to come back to help out……nothing excites me as we stand
 
Ugbo (2 goals in 25 games last season) got a rating of 5/10 in WoL report. Not sure he is any sort of upgrade on what we had last season. A long way down the queue after Grant, Meite, Robinson and even Etete.

we ain’t gonna rain goals in that’s for sure
 
Allsop is fine. Ugbo is a lot better than those figures. At this time Bulut favours Wintle and Ralls in the middle. Then up front we have the strongest attack so we will score goals. How anyone expects a player to get off the plane here and then fly to Portugal without any time and hit the ground running I have no idea. To be honest we have not even played one league game and all I see here is defeated before we start. At least give it half a dozen games.
