See Valconites's post on the previous page 👍

Yes 0-0 

I am watching a completely different game from some folks.

Been a frustrating performance so far but only in the sense we look good enough to beat Elche if we weren't fluffing it in the final third.

For those worried about Hedges as our starting RW going into the season - he's fluffed two gilt edged chances already.

Indeed.

His record last season was abysmal - think it was just 1 goal and 2 assists.

[Mercer]

Sound back on properly.

[philipl]

This is our 4th pre-season game and Travis has been booked in every one of them.

Do these bookings count in the real season? - I believe they do unless corrected.

We've been terrible.

Hedges through 1 on 1 and straight at the keeper.

Cantwell can't deliver a cross or corner

De Neves touch quite bad

You always say we’re terrible😉

Surely not. Maybe reds.

I don’t think these are classed as competitive games so the bookings don’t count. Might be wrong…

Nope don't count thankfully 😂

Can Cantwell kick a ball that is stationary?

Yes. But not in a useful manner sadly.

Someone ages ago said people weren't impressed with De Neve, and that his first touch was awful.

Have to say his first touch seems terrible?

I'm really liking my Emerton comparison - athlete first, footballer second.

He's a good enough footballer, but yeah his first touch isn't great. He'll do his damage with his pace, work rate and discipline. 

[Exiled_Rover]

Ohashi's link up play is really mediocre.

[Fraserkirky]

Toothless

bizarre move asking one of the Elche fans too ref the game. 

[bazza]

Any subs yet?

[philipl]

Elche making 9 outfield subs just now

We're just changed 5 on 60 mins.

He's unbelievably shite isn't he?

Aye, it's a foul to win a header. Shame on him.

[ObiWhan8t7]

Really liking the press. De Neve really Athletic and covers the ground well,Same with Hedges. ref not allowing any physicality in the game at all. Looking forward to seeing Tyjon, if he can find the holes and play against these then I feel he is more than ready

[Wegerleswiggle]

When you order a ref from Wish
