I'm as excited as a kid at an airport about this one. I have no idea why, seeing as we were playing matches what seems like only a few days ago.

New kit.
Two new players.
Some yoof getting time.
And the club that survived the Franchise horror.

The teamwork in the last ten minutes has been poor. Too many players trying to change the world on their own.


Yeah, a lot of " look at me" going on

Agree Brian. Teamwork looked much better earlier before many of the changes.

Chair MOTM.

Masterson, Thomas and Bettache also impressive.

I would add Amos, looked confident on the ball second half. George Thomas and Lyndon Dykes good start as well.
We are moving the ball a lot quicker through the middle of the park. Still early days and Wimbledon not very good.

No arguments on that either. Close call.

Nice to hear the youngsters held their own today.

Never knowingly right.

Me too!

Went back a day early from a half term holiday. Couldn't work out where everybody else was as I was walking there. Still didn't twig until I reached the school gates. In my defence we went back on the Tuesday instead of the usual Monday.


Did that once myself. Personally I blame the parents.

My one was bad. Bad, bad, bad.

I was 15 and we'd just moved back to England and I went to my new school on my first day and in the door. Suspiciously quiet. Fine. I met the cleaner and he laughed his arse off and told me I was a week early.

The following Monday I took off. Along the way I started chatting to French student. She was amazingly cute. She was looking for my school. Walk with me, says I. I know the way.

We were getting along famously. There was nothing left to do but book the priest and the honeymoon.

We walked through the door. Bumped straight into the cleaner.

He buried me.
French girl never looked at me again.

Good workout but don't try to read too much into it.

We're a division higher, last played 5-6 weeks ago, whereas they hadn't played a competitive game since March. Loads of changes - as you would expect.

No Eze, Wallace nor BFG - 2/3 on their way out?
Lumley/Kelly not used. Is Dieng now first choice or just a chance for a game?

Commentary basically said BFG wasn't wanted, doesn't fit our style

Regarding the Dieng bit, Warburton said in his post-match interview that he's seen Lumley play half the games last season and Kelly do the same thing but he hasn't seen Dieng play a game and wanted to give him the full 90 minutes so him and the coaches could have a proper look at him.
