We will be running around the Bull Ring with the cup

I really like Irogburnam.  We've gone from having no CDM's to have two rolls royce players.

Only joking about our new Swede. More of a chuckle at the fact a half-time sub was being subbed early on his debut(?)!
Did think Toronto would be the first to get triggered by it though

Think Watkins and Ings have played Archer out of a loan this season with their lack of effectiveness

[JD]

Doug Luiz has looked good tonight. Good link up play and some good passes.

[Toronto Villa]

Nice to see our set pieces are looking ace headed into the season. If only we had a specialist coach for that

[Edvard Remberg]

Doug Luiz has looked good tonight. Good link up play and some good passes.

very quick on the ball. Unless Watkins who looked very poor.

[Toronto Villa]

1-0 clean sheet again. Nobody injured. Goal for Cam. Job done

[cdbearsfan]

We won. Mediocre first half, decent second half. Credit to Kamara, Kesler Hayden and, of course, Archer.

[JD]

An ugly win, but a win and another clean sheet. Good night everyone.

[Ducksworthy]

Good goal, no injuries, some really promising second half performances from the younger players. Only really marred (relatively) by Digne’s challenge which was very poor. Happy with that. Cheers CD for the link!

Saw most of it. Better 2nd half than 1st. Kamara looks good and Carlos assured. Buendia looked sharp, Digne rusty.
Archer looks the sharpest of the strikers, but it's only the 3rd pre-season game.

The final angle of that makes it even more impressive.  Ollie get a faint touch which changes the direction of the ball just in front of him, and he still controls it instantly and gets the quick shot away.  Very good finish.

Building fitness and understanding is all that matters here.
