Looks like a proper pre season schedule.

 

Final pre-season friendly at home to a Spanish side. What could possibly go wrong?

 

Was so angry ... how good were we playing before that absolute ****ish tackle? ... my excitement and enthusiasm for the forthcoming season were smashed in that moment ...

 

Fear not, Fosse. This season will be much different with Brendan's refreshed squad ......... which, strangely, currently looks very much like last season's.

 

Off to a good start in the pre season fixtures. Lost 1-2 to notts County, 2 goals from set pieces....

 

Watched it on YouTube... first half had Barnes, Daka, Dewsbury-Hall, Choudhry, Soumare, Fofana and Pereira in line up... we were well on top - took lead and hit post before they got a very scrappy equaliser ... 11 changes at half-time with Iheanacho and 10 academy lads ... not that surprising that we conceded tbf ... they had a lot of seasoned pros...

One bright spark in the first half was Callum Wilson ...

 

whilst Hamza Choudhury was the best player on the pitch.

 

Yes indeed ...

 

Thats not Wright.

 

Good spot

 

Thought Dennis Praet was excellent in yesterday’s friendly against OH Leuven. Only played 45 minutes, but showed us what he can do. Gets forward we’ll and not afraid to shoot.
Also though Evans was excellent.

 

He must have played well if Brendan gave him 45 minutes! Usually it's 5 minutes at best and then get hooked off and replaced by Perez.

I do wonder what the relationship between manager and player is, and whether we'll ever see him play a part next season.

 

The three Belgian lads linked up very effectively ... as they always have ...

 

Surely to be playing some pre season there is a chance he’s staying? Or am I being too optimistic?

 

Who knows ... but the difference between him and Soumare was marked ...and if we need to offload one of them ... no brainer.

 

On a different forum I read that the primary issue with Praet was the family not being settled in England. I've always thought he was decent but if the above is the case, rather than Brendan not being a fan, that's more difficult to resolve

 

Agreed... all a bit strange on the transfer front at the moment

 

In normal circumstances all of our players seem to do a bit of socialising and what not. Do wonder the effect of Covid. It would've been very different and difficult to move to a new country and then find yourself in complete lock down, no opportunity to make new friends but be so far away from your family etc. It certainly wouldn't help you feel settled.

The current transfer window is like watching tumbleweed... and 3 weeks to ko...

Although we have always liked our signings under the radar.

 

do you think you will flog Maddison to Newcastle lads?
