Midfield leave Swansea's dangerman in 5 yards of space inside the box to put us behind.

When was the last pre season when we failed to get a single win? Has it even happened before?

We beat Thatcham

I’ve a feeling we didn’t when Clement was in charge but might be wrong

Think he might be something to do with Swansea? Seems to be pretty knowledgeable about both teams tbf.

Snowflake Royal Rushesha is involved a hell of a lot... tireless worker. But none of it is really coming good.


Yeah he’s weirdly central to everything. Confident

Suspect he’s as good as we’ll get considering


Currently presumably ineligible for league games due to the embargo.

Fairly sure it's happened before, can't remember when though - anyone keep a record of pre season friendlies from down the years?

Savage has a phenominal touch.

Should be getting him as involved as possible.

I’m liking our willingness to press and win the ball back but that level of intensity over a season just screams injuries to me.

Just shows how meaningless it is, but I bet we played more first team members in the game. Surprised no wing/smith etc

Yids off for Mbengue. Didn't look injured, so hopefully was already decided just to get him a few mins.

Likely planned. He’d played pretty well encouragingly

Makes sense, given he hasn't played any matches this pre-season. Also gives Mbengue around an hour, who's another who hasn't had a full pre-season.

Really don't rate Mbengue at RB.

Holmes let his man get a free head just then. Not punished.

We look very disjointed, but seeing quite a lot of promise.
