It's going to take a while to get used to hearing Terry's name in the commentary.

Still can't see what style of play they are actually trying to attempt

Me neither. I know it's early days but it's a tough call to say which team are the Third Division outfit.

Thought Green was our best player that half. McCormack did OK, Hogan anonymous, Chester and Terry looked OK together. Thor anonymous, Hourihane busy.

Interesting to see what the team is like 2nd half.

What's the status with Jack?
He's been on playing in goals whilst they were all out in Portugal !

Sounds a bit rubbish - but friendlies often are

Good to hear green doing ok

The big thing we need to work on this summer is pattern of play. I gather little signe of that so far

Jack has been given extra time off due to his international commitments though I believe he didn't actually play one single minute for the under 21s !?

My word McCormack is shocking. Green is our only attacking threat.

The midfielders are always so deep in this side - all they get to do really is play the Westwood role of working it around the middle, instead of actually being able to attempt some threatening passes.

I like Bruce in his made to measure fitted top. Looks as though Pies were on the menu at the all inclusive  holiday resort.

I'm actually beginning to think he's part of Bruce's plans this season.
