Any full time reports? Who's out injured now then or not 100% fit? Tanto, Collar, Fevrier, Rydel, Mingi, Ben, Wright (on his way?), Powell ...? MSH ofc. Is Ben injured?

Not going to go in to detail because I’m no slomas but we outclassed them pretty much in the first half. All the changes caused disruption along with trialists etc and we gave the ball away too much for me second half. Levelled things up a bit and they could smell it.

It’s the first pre season game after 5 days of training, most of which probably fitness based. Half the players don’t know each other.
In all fairness, who gives a shit how we played. I doubt we’ve suddenly got a million injuries either just different players at different points fitness wise.

They are slightly different colour of pink that my ocd picked up on Mat's right about the socks, they are darker than the rest of the kit. I'm not keen on it as a whole, it looks insipid to me, pale and uninteresting. My style councillor likes it though and she's a better judge of most things.

I doubt we’ve suddenly got a million injuries either just different players at different points fitness wise. Its a training session thats all. Fans put too much into them especially the early ones played. If anyone doesn,t play they,ll be classed as being injured with nothing to back it up. Next thing we,ll employ an ex KGB spy to attend Carrington.

Che Gardner seems involved a lot going off the twitter updates. Scored and put us 1 up. Be good to have a Che in the team. Hasn’t been the same since Guevara left for that difficult season in Bolivia. Even better seeing the name Gardner in a County shirt. If his name was on the back i,ll be having a word with our resident shirt collector for a deal.

Pre season friendlies mean nothing in terms of results, win or lose, not really an indicator. On a broader level, I’ve been following County for over 50 years, in the 70/80s I hardly remember any pre season games, maybe 1 or 2, I’d have gone if there were any at EP, there was a friendly in ‘67 v Man City, I also remember a weird game v Coventry, who were in the old First Division, at the end of the ‘72/73 season. Nowadays it’s a several games, back then virtually nothing, unless others remember differently.

For me pre season is about fitness more than anything but it can give you a gauge on how the team will look going into the start of the season but that part normally comes later on in pre season.
Last season for example pre season didn't mean much with challinor playing knoyle and touray as wide cbs. Well infact it did mean something because we started the season playing them as wide cbs instead of their natural.
First half was 433 which id be happy with us playing but 2nd half before Stretton was wither 451 or 541 (or both very similar with Bailey fillin it at lwb)

If they can’t colour match the shirt and shorts, need to be black for me (or even white I guess).

Okeke, Knoyle, Horsfall, Connolly, Touray as the back 5
