Must be the blue Astro turf surround that attracted them

Another quirky tie, which is definitely good for us to hopefully build some relations with sides outside of the UK.

I'm at York Races that day or I probably would have popped down - enjoyed the Betis v Marseille match the other season

I'd have been tempted too given the likely quality of player on show if I wasn't on holiday.

0-3 Forest, 0-3 Blades...... lets hope Derby dont make it an hat-trick. I would like to see us at least score a goal at home in these pre season friendlies.

Keep cool, apparently friendlies are only good for getting miles in the legs while staying free of injury (good luck on that). Perhaps we?d be better off running round the training ground.

For me friendlies play a keen part in preseason build up, team building and confidence, discount them at your peril.

Think performances matter, results not so much. I am going to the Derby game and want to see a competitive game, not another flaccid performance.

Apparently, if a font of all knowledge is to be believed, if you have a 'proper' pre season that should eradicate all future none impact injuries. Perhaps a pre season, pre season is required.

I very much liked the lad at wing back for Sheffield Utd - Femi Seriki No 38
Was on loan to Rotherham and only featured once for the Baldes.

Worth an enquiry imo

Hope this works but this gives you a decent view of how the rest of the league are doing in Pre Season - noting Tranmere apparently haven't played a game yet

I remember friendlies in 2013-4 season when Eoin Doyle looked like he couldn't hack it in pre-season games against 'big opposition' . And look what happened there.
Webb is right - we've come from non-league and they've just come from the prem on Saturday's game. For me, we bossed the Alfreton game - a good team Alfreton.
Cook will sort it.
