Those bloody commentators were doing my head in. We were clearly miles better than them but like Radio Wales are biased against us, they were up for their own team.

Wish we hadn't swapped the team half time just to get the rhythm going for the start of the season but hey ho, pre season.

Decent first half after the first 10 minutes. Mesa does look useful doesn't he.

Just a few points, totally knowing this is a pre-season friendly.

The Philly side was mainly their reserves. The keeper was making his first team debut, so were four other players. Two were regulars from the first team MLS squad....which is struggling this season. You want a bench mark for MLS, try playing against Seattle or Atlanta's first team, otherwise you just sound snobbish.

The commentators are the club's in house. MLS games are done by broadcasters from FOX (national or local affiliate) or ESPN.

National anthem was funny though. But at least she didn't sing God Save the Queen.

We play in a uniform according to commentator. Never heard a football kit called that before


Bit before my time, but I believe this was our kit in the 50s.

Let's not get too dispondent. We have only played Barnet prior to this game with a very weakened side. Yes the Union may not have been at full strength but they are match fit and halfway through their season. Had the first half team stayed on we would have won very comfortably regardless. The full second half team is very unlikely to see the light of day during this season with many playing bit parts.
There is a long way to go with injured players to come back and hopefully new recruits to come in. Still optimistic here....provided our recruitment team can do it's job which is still a concern for me.

Agree if the first 11 played 90 mins.. we possibly would have won.. and the second 11, if they make any appearences.. it wont be like they.. it would be 1 or 2 of them with the better 11.

maybe 4 of the second team will make the first 11/subs bench (including GK).. We are also missing Llorente and Ki who would take places in those first slots. And then there is Abraham who I am guessing will feature more (don't see why we would loan him unless they know of his ability.


so alot of the players from that second 11 are realistically 3rd/4th choice players. So won't really feature in a competitive game.

positives..
