It will no doubt be the players that did not start v Orlando A primarily. The whole squad that travelled will get some game time over the two games

Whoever else plays, I want to see Diouf again. No surprise to his fans that he both scored and assisted on Bojan's goal the other night. Not sure what it's going to take to persuade Mark that he already has his main striker but games and goals can't hurt.
BTW, is this game tonight?

It's being played at the hotel they're staying at so the best chance of a stream is if the club periscope it over Twitter.
And yeah you'd hope the side will be made up primarily of the players that haven't played.
Given
Bardsley Cameron Wilson Taylor
Whelan Allen
Shaq Shenton Walters
Joselu
Have I missed anyone?

The title made me think this was a review of the match two days ago, since Orlando primarily played their youth and B players in that one. I imagine the closed doors friendly will be a mix youth players from both clubs.

Kaka, Larin and the goalie were about the only regulars missing??? |

I imagine the closed doors friendly will be a mix youth players from both clubs. I can't say I agree Before the trip MH was stressing how they wanted another game to pad out the pre season, and I'm sure he mentioned the need to play the Euro guys and Cameron. I would expect Shaq, Allen, Whelan and Cameron to get at least 45 minutes, and most of the regular first teamers to get game time too. It's all about getting the first team squad for Boro match fit and firing, not playing the kiddies |

TBH I don't follow Orlando, so my knowledge of their first team is limited, but they made wholesale changes at the half, and many of the players in the first half were also from the Orlando "b" team, at least that's what the announcer said before the match. Then again, he said we were in Europe next season, so it's not like he knows what the hell he's talking about. Either way it's not we are going to be facing any premier league or even championship quality players. |

Will they be that much more ready 2-3 days later? I hope our youngsters get to play more than they did in the first match, seeing as Hughes seems reluctant to include him in his plans for the upcoming season. |

Higuita and Rivas came on in that game too. And then Shea is a regular too. And Barry who came on and scored started in their last MLS game. So yeah it was a pretty full squad and a team whose fitness should make up for any deficiencies in quality. |

I agree with the match fitness, but watching the game we could have easily beaten them by 4 goals, I think we were just taking it easy on them, and playing a dumb formation. |

The 7th was on the bench and I'm guessing came on to with Nocerino!!! It was the strongest side Orlando had available. It was the formation that killed us. Not sure where the 4 goals comes from? We didn't create that much. |

We didn't create that much. Yes, forgot about nocerino. With a game less than a week away we were never going to see a full strength team from Orlando, and especially not for the whole game. The quality of our players was light years ahead of even the Orlando first team players, and in the second half especially we passed the ball around instead of counter attacking multiple times. |

Fyi, just called the Orlando City main Orlando office and was told they actually have no knowledge of Monday's friendly with the 'B' team. They were surmising it might be more of a 'closed scrimmage' than an actual friendly match. Before I drive two hours to Melbourne was hoping to get better details.
On a side note, we saw the players getting on the team bus after Wednesday night's game and I asked Bojan about G. Cameron and he said he would be playing Monday - so the players evidently are ready to play someone, somewhere at some time on Monday.
That being said, I may head down there in the hope of seeing the squad again in some form or fashion. Will bring my wire cutters in case I have to cut through a wire fence or two. Will also be prepared to head over to their hotel at the beach in the event they are out playing on the beach.

Sure some of that lot have played a match or two but three or four aside, they are second choice at best. |
