I don't know how anyone can praise or criticise anyone after that. I spent the most part squinting at the grainy excuse for a stream trying to work out whether we were the team in red or yellow?

Let's be honest in terms of shape plan and addressing last seasons issues that was woeful . Forget the individuals and the pre season element it' showed the window has addressed not one of the issues we had in the second half of last season . Management. And transfer team with plenty to do .

Plus points at half time: 1. No 3 at the back nonsense. 2. Jack is back. 3. Bojan and Imbula look tidy and sharp. 4. Diouf is putting himself about and should have scored. 5. Sobhi is keen to impress (okay, maybe a bit too keen, but at least he wants it). Struggling to find some from that lacklustre second half, but here goes: 1. Ryan and Glenn got 90 minutes. 2. Wolly had a decent game on the whole. 3. Joe got a few minutes in his legs. 4. erm........

How many more excuses are people going to make for Diouf?. He is fuckin' toss. If he is our best striking option for the season then we have big problems. The way the defence shapes up we will need to score at least two per game to get a point!. I'm not making excuses for him. BUT he's had ONE chance all game and has spent 40 mins of the second half on the wing. He's a striker ffs and should play as a striker. Anyway anybody can see that Hughes clearly doesn't fancy any of our current strikers. The problem is you can't just get rid of them all and start again just like that. That's our forward problem as I see it. None of them are good enough really. Fair enough.

Missed the second half walking the Dogs.Looks like I did the right thing.😏.. The facts remains we need a quality CH and Striker..
These two issues have still not been addressed with a week to go. Let's hope the pizza boys can pull something off next week..

Useful run out for the lads. Can't base too much on it as clearly players are only playing at 75 percent and don't want to get injured.
Observations
Bojan and Imbula looked very impressive. If they stay fit they could make a big impact.
We still can't defend corners. If we don't sort it out we'll get targeted.
We miss Glen Johnson badly when he's not playing.
we still need a striker as a priority.
Ryan need's a partner in the middle though I don't think Wolly did a bad job.
Allen has to start alongside Imbula.
Jack looked sharp.

Starstreams is certainly worth the investment mate. Tell me more Mr Spencer! All the away games are in HD, as good as Sky Sports 1. Today's game wasn't quite in HD but it was a bloody good picture throughout, although with a German commentary.

You can tell why we want Anichebe after that performance, need someone to hold the ball up.

Looked like groundhog day. Same problems...dodgy at back and set pieces can't score Diouf misses chance. In fairness we haven't strengthened up front and cb. Basically it's the same team as last season with the same problems. I guess only an injection of better quality players will change it.

Positive takeaway.
Bojan looked very sharp today.
Negative takeaway.
We still can't seem to clear the first man when it comes to crossing the bloody ball into the box (Pieters in particular). Woeful.

Went rock climbing today and canoeing with my Daughter which is great time spent rather than following pointless pre season games when the Manager is throwing all sorts of players and tactics out there. Didn't we lose to Rhyl on a pre season once.
Let's judge our boys after 5 games into the season. For now just enjoy the sun and have a few beers.

You can tell why we want Anichebe after that performance, need someone to hold the ball up. But with out Matt Jarvis to supply the service who will create the goals? Surely we need a Bassong type leader in the middle of defence as well.

From what I heard 1st half we played some good stuff. I watched a bit of the 2nd half and it was poor but the subs don't help. It makes the game a non spectacle. It's 90 minutes preparation under our belts and it's all systems go for boro. We will win next week I'm sure.

/Power Puff upfront, desperate for a top quality striker, need a central defender, midfield sound....good workout. Why do we always sing when the reds, when they were in red easy to change for one match to when the blues!

Sounds good, how do you sign up and how much is it? It's about £8 a month. You need to get an in invite to join. I'll try and find you a link mate.

Can someone sum up what happened and what the score was?
Living hundreds of miles away I need to pick the first game I'm coming down for. Might leave it until late October. We should be sharp and fit by then
