Lovely ball from Bowen finds him at the back post for a header.

We looked good. Youngsters especially. Not sure how good Perth Glory are though

They finished 9th in the domestic season, so not the best. And they cut through us quite easily at times, but I'm none too worried given who we had at the back today.

But some very encouraging performances. Chesters looked good at RWB, although he has very little defending to do. Thought Emerson played well, Mubama looked very accomplished when he came on and Bowen was a different level again.

Not the toughest of opponents, but the players looked fit and sharp and now have 10 goals in two games. Looking forward to the rest of the squad coming back and hopefully getting up to speed quickly.

Mubama was wearing #45 today I noticed

Kuchinghammer

Impressed by Earthy. His decision-making was spot on, and contributed in attack and defence. Will Moyes continue with two up front?

Lukerz

Assume we’ll go as strong as we can for Spurs tomorrow, as it is Spurs:

Fabianski
Zouma - Ogbonna - Cresswell
Chesters - Potts - Downes - Emerson
Fornals
Bowen - Scamacca

EXETERHAMMER

Where is Ben Johnson?

OldCastleSwift

Holibobs.

Was away with the England U21s so is having his break now.

They must be joking, I hope no-one pays it.

There will probably be a 'stream' somewhere as I'm sure I read that an Aussie TV company is showing it.

OldCastleSwift

One for the traditionalists; looks like 4-4-2 for today:

Fabianski
Laing Zouma Ogbonna Emerson
Bowen Potts Downes Fornals
Mubama Ings

Yeah I thought I'd heard his name before

Make that four...

ASLEF, I think it’s three as Porro was at Tottenham last season. 👍

Kane diving in a pre-season friendly

IronHerb

Kane diving, is that an Aussie sport?

Bowen with another assist. Good pre-season for him so far.

OldCastleSwift

2-0. Mubama.

We are absolutely massive.

OldCastleSwift

He's done really well so far. Looks strong and has got the better of Tangana a number of times.

Encouraging.

Indeed, joined on loan January

He was on the bench against us so obviously he didn't register on my consciousness

You think this place is reactionary. I just had a read of the Spurs Twitter page after that second goal went in...

IronHerb

We may be reactionary but the Spuds are still delusional. 😂
