2 Games 2 wins (well kind of on the first one) and the 2nd on astro turf too. Opposition might not be upto much but Derby next and then Preston who to me always seemed a bogey team to us.

Erm when did we play a game on astroturf?

the one above that Fleck scored the 2nd training match surely thats atro turf and not grass it looks too flat and springy either that or its the poor quality encoding on the video? Plus I was using the Dundee Utd "marshes" as a comparison.

Hackford looks nothing like I expected, looks big for his agw

 

[Varkanoid]

Tell you what watching this Callum Robinson is looking sharp. He could have had 4 or 5 goals. Think we may get a few surprises when the season starts.
So we actually scored 3 goals, 2 were offside and how Egan missed that open goal on 45 seconds I dont know. All he had to do was sneeze and it would have gone in.

 

[robbiez666]

Callum Robinson looks like he's after McGoldrick's can't score in a brothel position!

 

[Large Mendonca]

Bloody hell - if them nets were 15 foot high we'd have won about 8-0 !

 

[pedro]

leicester think that they are playing us in a friendly today have they got their Sheffields muddled up or they think there's only one team in sheffield!!

 

[Corkblade]

There is only one team

 

[Sithblade]

 

[Niceguyeddie]

Is there a glitch in.the matrix or is wes foderingham on that picture twice ?

 

[Silent Blade]

Why didnt McBurnie play in yesterday's friendly?

 

[dc_blade]

Something about this picture makes me want to grab Osborn by the hand and go and dance to some early 60s rock n’ roll.

Nobody puts Benny in the corner.

 

[Wards]

Just watched the majority of the full match replay. Some of the young lads look really promising, in particular Brunt looks really comfortable and you can tell RND has benefitted massively from his loan - looks and plays like a man now. Pleasing to hear him bossing people around from his position. Didn't see much of Hackford aside from the shot he put over but he's certainly a big lad. Reckon we may also see a different Rodwell this year too, looked fitter and more assertive. Moose played like he'd been out on the ale the night before.

Yeah I'm glad alot of people won't have seen Mousset vs Hearts, he had a shocker.

Read an article in the Examiner that said he turned up late to training too. Just wish he'd "come to the table" a bit more - as Wilder put it.

He scored in the Hearts game but it was ruled offside.

 

[Birley Blade]

So he didn’t score.

Whilst I thought he should at least be getting the shots on target, just hope he's 'tuning in' for the start of the season.

To be fair his goalscoring record for Preston is the reason we signed him to play upfront. The lad can finish, hopefully it’s just a case of, like you say, tuning in

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Expect it’ll be a bit of a different side vs Derby later – very limited on options with so many away with the internationals and/or other absences. Best of those available probably the lineup below.

Foderingham
Basham, Jagielka, J-Robs (or JOC if fit)
Baldock, Lundstram, Norwood, Osborn, RND
Sharp, Mousset

Slightly do rtunate that Norrington-Davies is a surprise omission from the Wales U21s.

Surely there is room for this un.
