Sounds like he could be in for a surprise when the ground is full

I know the feeling. Other than my passing, shooting, first touch, heading, and tackling, I've got the everything needed to be a decent player. Except fitness and attitude, of course, but I guess I could work on that.
Honestly part of the reason I’m not too heartbroken about Bertaccini. So many of his goals looked like they came from through balls and 1v1s. We don’t do that.Our slow build up makes it difficult for our strikers, they all want to play off the shoulder.
Well maybe they don’t pass to him because of all the stuff you went onto mention. He’s pretty fucking poor.To Simms credit he does make good runs that the rest of the team can be bad at finding. But his hold up play, first touch and more are poor.
Their season prep for their footballing ability is probably on par with theatrics training/practice, they need to make sure their diving is believable as it's likely a big part to their game, embarrassing.Good run out against high quality opposition. Think my main take aways from tonight are we don't have to worry about the goalkeeping position and we were able to make a decent number of changes without looking out of our depth.
Pretty embarrassing the way they were going down and rolling around. Its a pre-season game FFS.
Looked like they came for a training session and ended up in a hard game. You knew they were taking it seriously when they started going face to face with our players.Good run out against high quality opposition.

Haji v Sunderland. Torp pass?
It’s not the way we set up to playYeah, can't think of one since. Need to sort it.
I thought he showed glimpses of ability, looked much sharper and confident in the ball compared to his cameos last season. Links up well with KKH. There's definitely a player in there.Thoughts on Raphael ?
Think he's looked alright. Lampard will know more of what he's capable of from what he sees in training. We'll see.Thoughts on Raphael ?
Love a deep net.My main takeaway from that is the depth of our goal nets is ostentatious
Frank Lampard utilising his Chelsea connections at long last.My main takeaway from that is the depth of our goal nets is ostentatious
Preston bid £3m for Kone today!!Honestly part of the reason I’m not too heartbroken about Bertaccini. So many of his goals looked like they came from through balls and 1v1s. We don’t do that.
It’s also why I want Richard Kone. The lad is a pure grafter who has no issue getting into physical battles with defenders. And he can score goals.

Who?Thoughts on Raphael ?
I'm sick of the everyone back for corners with no outlet.Perry, Torp, KKH, MVE, Sakamoto all came out on top for me (albeit some in shorter cameos).
Grimes, JDS, Simms solid enough.
Everyone else was ok. Nobody had a stinker.
Rushworth made two great stops and certainly wants to play forward and quickly. Shame we keep every player back form corners and deny ourselves that quick counter.
Not with Torp playing like that he doesn't!Thought sheaf looked lost and way off it, completely the opposite of torp when he came on.
Im a Sheaf fan boy, but even i had to accept based on tonight he wouldn’t make my starting lineup
Yeah couldn't agree more. It sort of reminds me a bit like schoolboy football in a way. You're the best centre midfielder in the team and captain, then along comes a new lad from a different team who also plays in your position and is miles better than you at what you do. Now he's the weakest of what everyone expects the starting midfield 3 of Grimes, Sheaf and Rudoni to be. Needs a really good game early on this season to renew confidence in his ability.Thought sheaf looked lost and way off it, completely the opposite of torp when he came on.
