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

He's unbelievably shite isn't he?

Just now - they've changed their entire team. We're just changed 5 on 60 mins.

Ohashi's link up play is really mediocre.

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.

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

I reckon a good set piece taker is worth 10 goals a season. I also reckon Toth over Pears is worth 10 goals a season too.

Desperately, desperately need a set piece taker. I've seen DeNeve take one corner and it was better than anything Cantwell has put in. His delivery is criminal.

Tidy on the ball, but quite small and slow. Think they'd really struggle against a Championship team with an athletic front line - that long ball seems to be on all the time.

LOL Cantwell booked for winning the ball - local ref by any chance? Also we need a right footed corner taker - Cantwell's delivery is shite.

Cantwell must just have one of those personalities. There's no way Elche know who he is, but they've been kicking him off the pitch in the first 20 minutes. Also that's poor refereeing - booking Ribeiro for moving the Elche player from standing over a prone Cantwell (that he'd just hacked down).

They're desperate for us to press - their GK has his foot on the ball 30 yards out from goal.

Who's on co-commentary? A backup GK that's not Pears or Michalski but I don't see who that could be in the squad list.

Strictly as a #10 and with a guarantee he wouldn't spend half the season in the physio's room? Yes.

DeNeve is incredibly disciplined - Travis went forward and he dropped back in to cover his CM role. You don't see many players that aware at this level.

He changed a big portion of the team at half time against Qatar SC.

Just highlights what little depth we have behind them, especially in CM.

In Out

Last comment on the subject: let's see how much he plays before people start demanding others eat humble pie. There was great crowing about Brereton-Diaz when he signed for that Spanish team - they couldn't ship him out quick enough once they saw him in training.

Cos Batty was Accrington Stanley's YPOTY last season and he has pace - something that's difficult to get your hands on. He deserves a look, he's only 20 (I think). Beck was a fantastic defensive LB (tenacious, quick) but he didn't have the close control to play further forward .

Only if we'd have sold Pickering. You don't need 3 LBs - and we have Batty and Powell coming through too.

He might be good (he's very young). He isn't currently good enough.

He's living well, isn't he?

Big victory for the Dolan truthers today. The Dolan doubters know their time is coming when he's back on loan to a Championship club in January.

He wasn't going to bang the goals in from #9. Undav turning down a loan deal is why we didn't make the playoffs. That and our inability to find a replacement.
