I know it's pre season and I know it's a friendly, we don't appear to have gained any meaning to the way we play.

Tedious, unimaginative shite

Lets try to be positive...RDM needs to see how shite they are in games to decide how shite they really are. Once he knows that some of them are categorically shite then he can start to do something about getting rid of the shite.
of course he could have just watched a Video of last seasons games.

I like the way they signal when taking a corner which is a complete waste of time because we all know it isn't going to get past the first defender.

Very uninspiring up to now, and that shirt isn't claret, nor even clarple, its just plain old purple.

We basically need a whole new midfield...Veretout, Gana, Bacuna and Westwood just aren't good enough. File under "shite".

Only our new keeper is showing any quality

We should finish above Nantes. They're even worse.

Wow. A shot on goal. Miles over but still a shot. Yes I'm clutching at straws.

Our strikers might as well not be on the pitch they are getting no service.

Cross from McCafu and not even a token effort from JustHead to get on the end of it

Looks like shite could be the word of the season again.

So who can we look to for some inspiration in the second half...

Bunn, Okore, Bennett, Tshibola, Gardner, Green, Grealish, Sinclair, Lyden

I'm looking forward to seeing Tish, Grealish and Green...and would have been nice to see the Russian get a game, so I guess we'll see if Bennett and Gardner have improved.

Better bit of play there but Veretout & Hutton are weak links today.

Fuck me, a closeup of Westwood.
I didn't know he was playing
