Who's scoring the goals?

Well that was a terrible game of football to start the season. Southampton still have most of their poor PL squad, so they'll walk promotion this season - they made hard work of it tonight though.

I want an end to time wasting. This isn't the answer.

15 minutes of extra time today. This initiative will quickly die - there's no way people are staying at grounds until 5pm every week.

It looks bereft of goals, as it did last year.

Sadly JRC hasn't played CM at all in the pre-season so you can't throw him in there to start the season. I wouldn't mind him ahead of Brittain, where Markanday is currently lined up, though. He's played there before.

Yep, didn't bring the 3 additional players we needed in for a promotion push so mid-table mediocrity it is. Admirable considering the squad is 80% Academy graduates, but frustrating as a season ticket holder when you look at the cost of tickets elsewhere in the league.

Szmodics is one of the first names on the teamsheet for mine.

Too many yellow cards to suggest they were just cruising.

He's not going to get any bigger - you have to accept that he's the type of striker who will have to rely on his movement and finishing to succeed at this level. The work rate is there, from what I've seen so is the movement and the vision (could have had a second today if JRC had passed it rather than fired it across the box). He's only going to get better by playing senior football at this point - with how our transfer window has gone it looks like it'll be with us rather than on loan in League One.

I think he only came on because JDT had promised he'd "get 20 minutes" earlier this week. Leonard wasn't looking tired at all, and is probably going to have to start at #9 next week, which is why the change came so late.

We very much watched different games.

And only a cursory "let's all go home, lads" 2 minutes against Girona.

I think it would help if we had someone to aim at. Besides the two CBs (and the GK) everyone else in the starting XI is under 6'.

One new signing - Ennis definitely kicked a ball today.

They hurt us on the break - but I'm not having that they 'played in patches'. Too many yellow cards to suggest they were cruising through the game.

Dropping A. Wharton into that team for Travis would make a massive difference.

Wasn't even our best XI either.

He's missed too much of pre-season to be ready for the next few weeks, he'll be used sparingly as a sub I think. That little passage of play answered one of our questions though - he's not fast.

Superb is a stretch, but he's looked better than Dolan on the other wing. I think he has to be played centrally as a #10 - or develop that Robben shift the ball onto his left and whip into the far corner, cos he doesn't have the pace to get outside his man.

On now for 5 mins.

It's not even much - he just needs to learn how to whip in a cross with his left foot. It doesn't have to be a Beckham / Bentley like delivery, just good enough that the FB has to respect that you can do it.

Leonard has got so much more about him than Vale - workrate for one.

No.

Pressure from the front 4 - they don't like it up 'em.
