The lad doesn't look the answer does he? He scored a decent goal last season but just doesn't offer enough.

If we were judging players off pre-seasons O’nien would be playing for the u23s. You can’t keep dropping the 9 because of a bad performance and giving him the odd 20 minutes here or there we need to put one in and stick with it.
 
Think we paid around £3m and we'd likely have to take a loss.
I'm guessing he hasn't had much service today so it will be harder to impress tbf. The midfield in the earlier game would have created more chances and fed better passes.

Fair chunk of the starting line up are coming back from injury, rustiness to be expected, minutes in the bank that’s the main thing, the starting midfield two probably won’t be here in a months time

Absolutely. Spilling the team over 2 games is also a funny one for me too.

Just a shame with the starting 11, we couldn't dominant. We should have been able too. Some serious players in our 11 and half of the championship starting 11.

Not great viewing but it's pre season, that 11 will never start together.

Can't imagine Matete and Embleton are at the club much longer, just not good enough unfortunately.

Rusyn looked ok at times but can't see him being the main forward this season.

This summer is a real chance for some of the lads brought in over the last 12 months to prove themselves, some have taken that chance today and some haven't.
