You should be.  Well be playing a CL qualifier in a couple of weeks.

Why did no-one covered the run of the scorer? See, easy to blame anyone. 😋

 

Didn`t see the first half, we looked rather comfortable till the fistful of subs. Arfield as fit as a youngster, chasing people all over the pitch causing havoc, Davis a joy to behold in that deep role. Colak a pest for any defender, did well again.

Wonder why Gio put on King as rightback instead of Devine and/or Zukowski, the former he put at leftback. 

It was Katic's man, but he rushed out to cover the 'shot'. To be fair, he should not have been left with that decision.

 

I thought King was a little awkward at RB.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of Matondo; he looked quick and direct.

Sands was good with the ball, but I felt he got caught out a few times at corners.

Yeah, I never really get the idea that we shouldn't be concerned about pre-season form. We need to be building fitness of course, but also confidence. That said, we won today so 🙌

The primary objective today wasn't to win the game. When that is the main objective in a couple of weeks we will hopefully field a team to achieve it.

When has pre-season friendlies ever decided how the season pans out? ever?.

I thought today was a decent run out.

 

It's a friendly, so certainly nothing to be concerned about - these matches are really just to get everyone match fit.
