Pre season 23/24

The Austrian Bundesliga sides manager can't be too happy with them playing their first game of the season in a weeks time.

Weston 3-0 assist Gallagher HT

Weston for the 3rd. Don't really know alot about him but good to see another academy player getting involved (and scoring)

The formation was Joe Rankin-Costello.

We should expand on the Guardiola formation.

When we don't have the ball, JRC plays at right back.

When we do have the ball, we play him upfront.

4-1 Gally. Legend.

Absolute fucking goal machine. 💪💪💪

Gally doing what the manager wants with 'runs in behind'. Hopefully he kicks on.

New 5 year contract needed for Gally asap!

Super Simons club record is now in jeopardy 👀 ⚽

I'd like to see Markanday stay as part of the first team squad rather than go out on loan again. I only really saw him against Hull on his unfortunate debut, and last summer in preseason friendlies and the Carabao Cup, but he looks lively. I bet he'd have offered more than the expensive loanee, Sorba Thomas.

I wonder why he hasn't been getting a look-in, though.

Unless hes poor in training or his attitude ?

I'd be curious to know where they're predicted to finish - I have serious questions about the quality of that league now.

I really hope Gallagher kicks on this season now he's the main man upfront. Nobody can questions his attitude and his work ethic, you don't play approaching 200 games in Blue n White if you've not got something about you.

Hedges started last season in good form and probably kept him out of the side on merit in the early weeks of the season, that did dip after he was shunted to wing back (a formation which also didn't suit Markanday) and then left out of the Wales World cup squad, but I would hope with the extra spots on the bench this season, we will see more of Markanday

He was the main man upfront last season too. 

Look I'd love Gallagher to turn his career around, but if he scores 20 this year then JDT and Reijnierse deserve a statue next to Jack Walker's.

Look at the stands in the ground. Accy Stanley is more substantial.

Outside the top three or four clubs, Austrian first division isn't even Championship standard.

Their post, but such was the power of the shot it rebounded all the way back and hit our post. So, both.
