What was that from wee donner?

 

A wee one-two was easier and safer that whatever he was trying there.

We’ve been reduced to Barasic at CH now.

@compo was ahead of us all along!

The boy Sterling who has replaced Tav at RB, can he not play across the whole back line or is he just a RB and perhaps elsewhere in an emergency?

He said in interview that he can play either LB or RB but not comfortable at CB

I was just going to post that Butland has had a not bad game - you can't blame him for the goals - but he's just misjudged a couple of long balls as he comes out of goal. 

[Rousseau 9,508]

Well we can definitely match the Hoffenheim B team.

As is typical of these games, the last 10-15 mins are a bit lacklustre after all the changes.  
 

Great take by Danilo to put Matondo in, so therefore the move ends there as Rabbi hits a weak effort right at the keeper with better options available.

Balogun going off injured in pre season, some laugh that.

Injury prone player gets injured. 
 

Shouldn’t have signed him tbh and I like him as a player and a personality.

Far better 2nd half - Lammers the standout but Jack and Dowell looked good when they were introduced. Dessers done well to get the penalty and Danilo looked decent. 

 

Now the serious stuff begins.
