Early days but was it me or did Borja seem a lot quicker and sharper than I remember. He ran through at a fair canter for his goal and I didn't think he was going to get there before the keeper. |  | |  |

My observations from last night:
Looks like Copper still needs to decide! some difficult choices to make as well.
Still no chosen keeper., it would be Mulder for me - I dont get this CN is better at playing from the back, mulder played some nice quick passes last night.
RB difficult to chose between Roberts and Naughton - CR better going forward KN better defender.
LB Same as above with DJ better offensive and JB better defender.
Midfield of Celina, Grimes then between Fulton and Byers (fulton has looked better in preseason than Byers)
Dyer RW - Asoro looking much improved but i think he is going to be an impact player.
I would say Mckay has had a much better preseason than Routs.
Only one number 9 but looks like Baston has moved ahead of CBR I would like to see us keep him until at least Jan. who knows may play his way into a move, if not very solid back up to Oli.
Be interesting to see how we play against what is clearly going to be a step up in Opposition.
Overall though Im looking forward to another entertaining season. I think we will finish top 10 again. |
Agree with much of that but can't agree on McKay.
So far, in pre-season, Celina has been pretty poor, Byers has been. .... Byers (sometimes very good but often lacking concentration) and Grimes has been quirt. Hopefully all that will resolve itself in season.

We only saw Borja against PL defenders and not that often TBF. While away from us he's played regularly and trained regularly. Last night he was up against a tired League1 defence. But ... in his two cameos he's looked a better class than those around him.
If he stays - McBurnie and him up front making space and setting up assist for each other. Both are prepared to fall back and defend and attack from misfield so very doable IMO. |  |

Declan John is a far, far better footballer than Bidwell isn't he. Hopefully he can get a run of games and the backing of a manager. Awful lot of potential there. |
I like him. He's had unnecessary grief from some fans. Don't know why, whether it's the Cardiff connection or what. But he gets up and down really well and we seem more alive down that side when he plays. He's not a world beater, but he's worth a place. |  | | |

For me it's because he is a poor defender!
Decent going forward. | |

Most of our fullbacks are poor defenders, except Kyle and it takes him half an hour to make a decision and he faints when he crosses halfway! | | | |
