2nd half lineup would appear to shift Bryan to LCB. Fascinated to see which of Jagielka or Stearman will take the RCB role.

 

[blademark]

Expect 6 or 7 changes at half time.

Bizarre selections.

why not try bryan at lwb to be fair, you never know we might need him there at some point this season!

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Expect 6 or 7 changes at half time.

It’ll be 8, they’ve already given the 2nd half lineup. Expecting it to line up as:

Moore
Jags/Stears, Stears/Jags, Bryan
Baldock Lundstram Fleck Stevens
Freeman, Duffy
McGoldrick

I think that shows how bare-bones are squad still is, we shouldn't be shoehorning kids in for Premiership preparations when they are hardly proven at any level. But the type of players we are after and signing are promising.

Where's Morrison?

Bizarre selections.

Wilder approaches friendlies the same every season.

 

[Antonb]

wow, just how threadbare is our team, but, i have faith in wilder and the coaching staff

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Bizarre selections.

There’s nothing bizarre about it at all. This is our first preseason game, and for that it’s fairly standard for him to split the first XI across two lineups for the match. In fact it’s fairly standard for any manager in that situation...

Think thats our squad numbers because Clarke is 43 and hes off...

Which is daft really as Dewhurst is wearing 1 as it's just a friendly so the ones who don't have a squad number like Leon can be slotted in anywhere.

 

[Addison]

Injured

Wheres Lynch injured also?

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Kean Bryan still exists!

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Wheres Lynch injured also?

I think he's injured. Apprently ran into a palm tree.

Beer on sale outside in car park then breathalysers just inside chucking fans out with riot police clashing for no reason

 

[Ricky]

Please don't tell me Lundstram is keeping number 7.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Please don't tell me Lundstram is keeping number 7.

It's only a number.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Please don't tell me Lundstram is keeping number 7.

We can’t retire the number until he eventually leaves. He will keep it forever.

All of a sudden, we don't look Premier League ready

 

[Ricky]

It's only a number.

Not taking the opportunity to have our own CR7 would be criminal.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Not taking the opportunity to have our own CR7 would be criminal.

Its been done before, we should be more original. How about CR8?

 

[Yoonited]

Walk out of your hotel turn left or right and go for walk you virgin

I hope you never want any help pal. Call youself a Blade? What a shit way to treat one of our own.

Kicked off by all accounts outside. Load of Betis turned up.
