Ollie is starting to look a bit of a weak link.

No offence to Watkins, he's a good player, but I'd love a striker who buries that every time.

Martinez launching a quick counter a few times there. Nice to see now we have some pace and he’s no longer having to hold it and kill time every time he gets it.

Or at least gets it on target. Loads of space and time then, and skied it. Poor.

This is a lot less close than 3-2 suggests.

Watkins clearly lulling future opposition into a false sense of security. He'll run rampant once the league starts......

Some look like they are beginning to tire.  Heat is obviously stifling.
