Remember the results mean nothing today.....

.......

........ we'd better win 4-0 in each game or we're off down 😟

Two 60 min games it's all about fitness today and getting mins on the pitch into the legs.

So it might tell us about workrate and press but not much about anything else.

Aside from the huge question mark over magloire and a regular question mark over brown thats a fairly respectable 11 on paper. 

[neophox]

Maybe JDT has transformed Magloire to a beast....we will see...

[RoversClitheroe]

Has a feel of a 1st and 2nd XI, even though it's pre season - might be wrong (probably)

[simongarnerisgod]

It’s a friendly. Sign a few autographs, say hello to the fans.

JDT even stopped to shake the hand of the steward.

I do hope he's a success here because he's the polar opposite of the last guy in charge.

Playing 3 at the back? Curious.

Climb over the fence, get injured in the process, push past the paps and not look like serious at the same time? No ta

[RoversClitheroe]

Sam Barnes, Not Sam Burns in 2nd XI, so assume back 3 in both games....

Mowbray would be a right moody bastard today having to ‘watch’ us play 120 mins of football.

Update - he hasn’t. He looks lost, physically not strong enough but perhaps most importantly Ayala has had to explain every single thing to him so far. It’s like he hasn’t played football before. Release him on a free, he has no future here.
