Brisbane Roar vs Aston Villa pre season friendly thread - Wed 10.45am

Not overly impressed so far by our new Swede.

He’s only been with the club a couple of days.

I could also point out that he's just flown over to Australia but it would probably fall on deaf ears.

I think he is doing ok. Linking up well down the left hand side and putting in some decent crosses.

Buendia is too clever for the rest of the team. Except maybe Coutinho. Pretty fucking please play them TOGETHER.

Their keeper looks like he hunts squirrels and chews tobacco.

Works as a mechanic during the day. Chases minorities with the local boys at night.

Has three kids, all called Skeeter. Including his daughter.

Who is mother to one of the Skeeters

"Their eyes are so close together, the left eye is in the right socket and the right eye is in the left"

"What does their family tree look like? A stump?"

Mings looks worse than last season

Archer missed great chance, goes wide of post just in front of goal.

Oooooh Cam close again. HKK is excellent getting forward. Cam should have scored really

[VILLA MOLE]

great move should have scored

[cdbearsfan]

Archer should have scored. Excellent by Kesler Hayden again.

On this showing KKH is an upgrade on Cash.

Fucking hell Cam!

[Brend'Watkins]

Cam, that was a good chance.

Austin was on Talksport a few weeks ago, chatting quite frankly about being released by QPR. It was a video call from a golf course, in that "We're all mates, eh Jim?" bonhomie of White and Jordan's slot on TS.

Who still can't get a game - Sanson, Chrisene...anyone else?

Marv?

I'm sure I remember reading that we've taken 35 players on the tour with us - I'm guessing because it's about the pre-season training as much as the games themselves, so even players who aren't going to get many minutes (if any) have gone out there for the training. Even if we change every player at half-time, that's a whole other 11 and three subs STILL not getting a game.

On this showing KKH is an upgrade on Cash.

He's looked very good, hasn't he?  I suspect he's playing himself into a squad place for this season, rather than another loan.  Not really being tested defensively though, obviously.

[Toronto Villa]

Yesssssssssssss Cam

[Edvard Remberg]

Archer!!!
