Wasn't really impressed with Junior, other than that we were ok. Gouranga. I haven’t seen any of the game but if he’s been played as an inverted full back, and that’s the plan for the season ahead, then we’re fucked.

😄 Seriously as a young player he'd have less pressure out there, hopefully not a Woodgate! Whisper it, that was the reason MON put Collins there to give him more touches and allow him to carry without leaving a massive hole.

Also the reason why Bouldy started at right back and why Denis started at right back.

We need some serious reinforcements and quick. Plus points, I thought Dixon, Leris and Vidigal really changed that game and yes I know it’s a friendly. Up front and right back are huge concerns

Vidigal is a striker, some of his finishing is top class and he shoots early. He's a player we need to keep, he has bags of ability We definitely need to keep him. People judge him unfairly/incorrectly. For the money we spent on him we won’t get much better as a back up. Some of his goals are of the highest quality which shows there is an extremely good player in there so for the price he's a really good buy. He will be a first team player if he can adapt to the physicality of the championship, he could well become a 15M+ player himself if he can make the step up this season. Some players need a year to adapt to the English game before we see the best of them, hopefully we have a few that will make the step up and hopefully he is one of them. New season they should all get a clean slate especially last years new boys, pre-season was a shambles last year so let's hope there are a few more partnerships appearing this time around

I was a CB from birth but RB is an established training path for under 20s or those stepping up a grade.

And it was fucking stupid. I should have put money on it 🤣 Absolutely nothing new in playing young centre back at fullback for a season or so The most extreme example was probably Bould who looked horrific at right back and was class at centre back In Collins case he was good at fullback but he'd be good in midfield too

A club record number of clean sheets that season if I recall correctly.

Bread’s confidence and also there was 2300 fans there so good to win for them Win infront of the fans thing I get but I don't buy into the confidence from friendlies. Some of our worst pre seasons have led to our best league performances I agree and because we’ve won a few friendlies I’m not thinking we are going to win the league but for certain players ie Vidigal it will do him the world of good. I agree with an earlier poster about Junho more central and Vid wide

He's a player we need to keep, he has bags of ability He’s an absolute tortoise though so when playing competitively it really shows. Squad at best but as SS likes speed and energy I don’t see where he fits in. There are very few players that have a lot of pace, he has skill and ability and he's a quick thinker. He has a lot of attributes many players don't.

Wasn't really impressed with Junior, other than that we were ok. Gouranga. I thought that. Hes raw, but decision making and ability seems low to me. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt but I'd expect Gooch ahead of him as it stands.

I wouldn’t really call it a decent team performance given the standard of opposition and he wasn’t one of the better players nor was he one of the worst it was just very meh.
