Worrying that Wood didn’t have to confidence to shoot:

Anyone know what the score was when we played Gateshead? Hasn’t been mentioned.

 

 

I thought it was 5-1

Interesting that Botman and Schar have been paired together. Got to think that’ll be Eddie’s preferred pairing.

These games are going to important for many players chances of starting. Burn, Lascelles and Murphy missed first opportunity to up their case. 

[The Prophet]

Yeah, we're absolutely gagging for a right winger.

[NEEJ]

@Sifujust made an appearance. 

[Conjo]

"Sven Botman has Dummett available to his left. He goes to the right instead"

[Mazzy]

Botman is aggressive in attacking the ball. You can see why he scored a few last season.

[Happinesstan]

There's some poor lass, in a grey sweatshorts and top, who seems to be having some potty trouble. Twice in the last 5 mins she's come out of the portaloo. 

[Willow]

Well this was an enjoyable watch

 

Right winger and striker still all too obviously the weak spots

[TheGuv]

Heard the Blaydon Races. Someone certainly tried to sing the correct first verse, but was drowned out by people singing it incorrectly

[Yorkie]

Nice one, enjoyed that. 

[54]

Well our second half team was better then our first.

[Guest reefatoon]

8 goals in 2 games. We don't need any attackers, already looks like we will score at least 407 goals this season.

[Weznufc]

Good second half that, fully enjoyed that. 

[Big River]

enjoyed that.

 

I don't want to get ahead of myself at all here, but Botman looks better than Van Dijk and I think we might actually win the league.

[ponsaelius]

Botman looked lean as a cat, like 

[Memphis]

Once Bruno & Joe came.on, it was a completely different match. They look excellent. Botman looked good although there wasn't much for him to do. Shelvey looked noticeably more active and more fit, good to see. 

 

Just a generally very competent performance, never had to push very hard, but we look very fit as a squad. We are desperate for help on the right side, though.

Very quick learner this lad, promising

[James]

Was very clear to me that Murphy, Lascelles and ASM don’t belong in this team any more, they regress us.

[nufcjb]

What a refreshing watch that was. Makes me can't wait for the season to start.

 

Last season or two ago, we lost to York in pre- season ffs. Fucking Steve Bruce.

Make or break for ASM this season. Needs goals and assists or needs to play for the team. And I'm one of his biggest supporters.

[TheGuv]

Just for you @WarrenBartonCentrePartin

[ponsaelius]

We look a professional outfit. Obviously miles off in terms of fitness but love how clear the style of play is and that everybody knows what they're doing. Love seeing the likes of Longstaff and even Dummett just slot in and get in with their game.

[greydos]

Joelinton is too strong for football. I feel so sorry for many midfielders this year who’ll come off the pitch thinking they played rugby, such will be the humping he’ll dish out.

 

Bruno is class as a 6+. Basically he’s a DM who’ll get 6 goals and 5 assists which is madness. 
 

Longstaff decent as the right CM but would be so much better with him second choice and Paqueta in there.

 

My heart sank every time Dummett got the ball. Why wasn’t Lewis given a go? 

[Nobody]

Bruno makes any game worth watching. What a player.
