Pre-Season Friendly Match Thread Compendium

[passport1]

Any truth in the rumour that the players shirts will have a £ sign on the back with the amount of the release clause instead of squad numbers this season.

So looking at the OS it appears the following were not involved v Swindon, I wonder how many of them because they're not rated by the manager ?

Guzan
Baker
Senderos
Okore
Bennett
Richardson
Sanchez
Gueye
Tonev
Cole
Grealish
Kozak

[Richard]

Oh and Nzog how could I forget him !?

AVFC line-up (v @Official_STFC): Steer, Hutton, Richards, Clark, Amavi, Bacuna, Gardner, Westwood, Sinclair, Gil, Agbonlahor. #AVFCLIVE

To be honest, if we were kicking off the season on Saturday, I think there would only be a few changes to that line up.  Guzan for Steer, Gueye for Gardner and possibly Sanchez for Westwood and Grealish for Gil.  Just goes to show how much work we have to do before it starts.

There is something reassuring about listening to Jack. A bit like the chimes of Big Ben during World War II. Who cares that we've sold Delph and Benteke is about to follow any day soon, never mind that that submarines have been spotted in the Gas Street basin. As long as Jack is broadcasting you just know things will turn out OK.

Its a bit like the office character. You don't want him to start a
 conversation with you but it's reassuring that he's there in a sea of grey faces.

And we know Okore and Bennett are injured.

[Ron Manager]

Seems surprising that Kozak wasn't used.Or was he?

[ADVILLAFAN]

Never heard of Jerrell Sellars before? Assuming he is a youth player. Was he good then?

Yes

I know that it was only against Swindon (and even then, against the people they brought on in the second half) but, for me, he was a lot more impressive than Robinson

[Clark W Griswold]

Oh and Nzog how could I forget him !?

Quite easily, it's easy to forget he actually plays for us when sitting watching a match with him in the team.

[Matt Collins]

Robinson hasn't impressed at all so far has he? Suggests he should go on loan again.

Calder looks good though friendlies often misleading

Bacuna can't play midfield for me.

I was thinking similar. Same caveats re the opposition, but I thought he looked very confident. His goal came from a fuck up by Swindon, but he kept his composure well and did what he needed to do.

I also think Callder looked really decent, too. Confident looking lad. Which I guess is something which comes from being larger than most buses.

Grealish, Okore and Bennett are all injured.
Guzan is still with the USA, while I think Sanchez is on a break after the Copa America.
Gueye probably needs a little more time to get up to speed having not been training.

As for the others, I wonder if Sherwood just split the squad a little bit to make room for some of the young kids? If they're still not in the team for the Walsall game, I guess that's when questions should be asked.
