Not sure how many tickets have been sold, but at £20 a pop on the day I dont think there will be a big walk up.
For some reason we dont seem to be opening many blocks |  |

Dreadful game.
Plenty of action around our goal caused by trying to knock the ball around in our box and often proving the opposition with gilt edged chances.
Lost track of the yellow cards that were brandished.
If this was a Prem game there would have been red cards for both sides, primarily Getafe.
Aribo was awful and in the most recent 4 friendlies we only scored 2 goals one of which was gifted by the Millwall 'keeper |
Stephen’s was awful too
I have no clue why managers continue to pick him
A back 4 of Jan THB KWP and Sugi wouldn’t be half bad
Get a decent keeper behind them
Downes O Riley in front of them
Then we need a winger to supply Diaz although Sugi had a couple of good set pieces today |  | | |

Agree with all that. AA playing on wing but too slow. Too much standing or walking with ball. Downes disappointed, Smallbone tried hard but got sucked into rough stuff. 2 youngsters livened it a bit in the final 10 mins. | | | |

What a bore, fans leaving with 20mins to go!.
Guess that will be our starting line up for Newcastle
Defence looked OK when defending, but trying short passes out of defence will get caught out in the Prem.
Midfield, so negative , no link up with front players.
Give Tall Paul a few games, he might surprise a few
Don't loan Dibbling out | | | |

Not sure why it will never leave, the pitch is dug up every year and re seeded, surely they could just strip it all out and start from scratch | |

The only time our midfield looked effective in this pre-season was when Dibling and Amo-Ameyaw were on the pitch together. For the brief time that Russ has allowed that to happen, they injected some real creativity and energy into our attack. It was exciting to watch.
In contrast, Aribo and Smallbone just look slow, dull and ineffectual and there is no apparent understanding between them. So, we'll inevitably see Aribo and Smallbone starting at Newcastle.
Players who've impressed in the pre-season:
Sugawara
Dibling
Amo-Ameyaw
Brereton-Diaz
Edwards
Taylor
I'd be happy to see all of the above starting in the Newcastle game, which is a free hit. They just might cause an upset. But, if they look out of their depth, we can revert to the 'regulars', for the Forest game
Player's who've looked poor:
Aribo
Smallbone
Mara
Edozie
McCarthy
PS I know that some of these players were fine in the Championship, but, and it's a big BUT, they're not good enough for the Premier League.

Edoize was very good against Lazio frequently beating his man and getting crosses in but there was no one there.
I agree with your first list. I think that Edwards will be some player in a few years and Dibling . |  |

The Peterboro chairman said on the radio Edwards will be playing for England in a few years time.
I've never seen him play, but Darragh MacAnthony talks a lot of sense, so that's good enough for me. |  | | |

Edwards seemed very confident on the ball , I was watching him closely , he had something about him.
He reminded me a bit of Luke Shaw who I remember watching for saints reserves against Arsenal I could tell then he was going to go far and I said so at the time. | |
