    As long as no one gets a injury like last time (Carroll, Cresswell, Feghouli etc)

    See the match day squad has 24 players most of which are probably first teamers

    Interested to see if he goes 3 or 4 at the back

    Adrian
    Zaba Rice Ogbonna Cressy
    Cullen Kouyate Lanzini
    Feghouli Fletcher Ayew

    Randy
    Byram Burke Collins Masuaka
    Fernandes Noble Obiang
    Snodgrass Martinez Holland

    Looking at Carroll missus Instagram looks like Carroll is more interested in sunbathing and being at pool party's then getting fit for the new season it really is a joke.

    How do you know he isn't fit?

    Hang on! AC and Sakho won't be back for start of pre season, or did I get that wrong? ;hmm

    For me, the difference is getting the information from the club, rather than the Internet equivalent of this bloke I know who knows the girlfriend of the driver of a bloke who knows...

    Time will tell if, as per the rumour, he would not be fit for the start of the season.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Carroll not fit eh? ;hmm

    As I said 2 weeks ago, he won't play at Man Utd IMO.

    I would question the decision of the club to use AC as one of the three to front the new kit on its website. I mean quite right for the likes of nobes and lanzini to do so, but I would say a more prominent contributor to our 16/17 cause would have been more appropriate than AC?

    Strange but the way I read Lewins remarks was that AC and Sakho may not play any pre season games as the intent is to have them ready for the start of the season. Time will tell.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Oi, what 'choo doin' 'ere.

    Get on with yer 'ollidays.

    What season are we talking about. ;hmm

    Ayew likes shooting at the keeper
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    An entirely expected, slightly underwhelming 45 minutes.

    No one looked rubbish (being kind to Snodders) but no one made you think: Wow

    It's a training game, and no one got hurt, so all good so far.

    New 11 for the 2nd half.

    After that half I'm pretty sure we're winning the league....

    If we go into administration and have to play in the Essex southern league division 3
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    That's a pretty decent league I'll have you know. ;whistle
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Even though it is just a training game, it's still really good to see the lads out on the pitch again.
  • Putney_HammerPutney_Hammer
    Twitter already in meltdown cos we are not winning this TRAINING game ;lol
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Well with all those strikers we have...Oh. ;yercoat

    I know it's a pre season game, just training etc... But we were 1/50 to win that game ;lol
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Betting. It's a mug's game. Unless you're a bookie.

    And that is proof, if it were still needed, that millions of people who broadcast their views to the nation via twitter and other social media are utter twonks.

    Pre-season games are mostly meaningless, especially the first few. They tell us nothing meaningful about the team/players.

    A bunch of half-fit players, who aren't used to playing together. Half of whom are not 1st team players. All of whose priority is to not get injured. Playing in a game that nothing depends on. For 45 minutes until the 11 players get a go for the other half of the match. Against a team in a similar position.

  • LukerzLukerz
    So was this game a success?

    1) no injuries

    2) minutes for everyone

    Yep. Success.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    I just heard Slav saying they treated it as part of training, in that they are doing double training sessions, and yesterday the players trained as normal in the morning, then had the game, then did some light running after. (You could see that in the coverage, actually - in the 2nd half you could get glimpses of the 1st half players jogging up and down on the adjacent pitch.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Found it interesting that Slav said 'we should've scored some goals' and then said 'tbf we haven't been scoring in trailing either so it was to be expected in a game'.
  • HamstewHamstew
    Rice looks like a decent player
  • LukerzLukerz
    Kouyate back in squad for tomorrows game.

    Hart also included.

    Lukerz

    It's odd, as he is listed in the squad, but then later it says:
    However, Michail Antonio (hamstring), Andy Carroll (hip), Winston Reid (knee), Diafra Sakho (back) and Cheikhou Kouyate (knee) will all miss the match to continue working on their rehabilitation, while Jose Fonte will return next week after helping Portugal reach the semi-finals of the FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia.

    Yeah, but you know how our media people manage to keep on top of things...probably ex Trump employees. ;whistle
  • LukerzLukerz

    Thought a WHU injury lasting only two days was too good to be true. ;lol
