Terry is audible above anyone on the pitch.

I like Bjarnasson, he makes intelligent runs and tries to find space.

Giving the ball away a lot. Very scrappy so far.

He gets into good spots also. He should have scored already tonight.

What I like about Bjork is he gets into the box. We'll soon knock that out of him, we can't be doing with midfielders breaking forward and making runs into the box.

Never take pre-season too seriously. Never play with a consistent line up so it's never going to produce consistent outcomes. What you want to see is something coming together in terms of structure, discipline and movement the closer we get to the start of the season.
