I dno man. Seems hectic that
Not really. Just putting us closer to where we need to be.

In reality I'd hope that those 5 wouldnt have more than 50 games between them a season

The first XI is good.
The drop off to the second string is massive.

We should be looking to get rid and upgrade when the opportunity presents itself

Kai Andrews and Torp were absolute sauce.

Rapha needs a loan big time.
Thought Rapha was quite good to be honest. Was quick and played some decent balls in.

He's definitely not a Sakamoto or a Mason Clarke but I think he can offer enough to be a decent option off the bench at least when we want something different.

Dominated second half…much fresher than Bristol as game developed. Not a bad run out or performance. Bassette needs to go on loan. Will Lampard use Andrews as back up or send him on loan? If Milan off will Raphael be used as late sub as tats tires? Need an extra CB as I can’t see Binks being used by Frank.

Embarrassing
Why?

A good training exercise. Kept control of the ball most of the time. Good goal by KKH from a great long ball by Grimes. Andrews has well improved with his loan spell. Hopefully we keep him for the season ahead.

My observations:

We still need a forward. We look so flat going forward still.
Allen; Bidwell, Binks, Lati we should look to move on at the first possibility.
team suggests Obikwu is out on loan.
Rapha, Bassette can both go out on loan also.
I’d be tempted to keep Andrews and use him in Allen’s role. He has the sort of physicality that becomes useful in the period where games come thick and fast. This could change if Bling gets his wallet out and signs this Venezuelan though.
Grimes, Torp mustard and must be the starting midfield pair with Rudoni
KKH looks good

I thought he did well, he's a different option to Saka as they're inclined to turn different ways to get a ball in. Good for him to have a decent run out.

By something different do you mean worse?

For me, I'd be suprised if he makes the first team squad this season, he needs a loan to get game time.
