We’re 14/1 to get relegated with Bet365.
Seems overly optimistic that does.

I'm not watching any of the friendlies but in this one, whether or not it's Thompson, I honestly have no idea why we extended his contract. He was dreadful as cover at lb and aside from half a dozen decent games in the 2nd half of last season at cdm, he's just another of our collection of league one standard players. Shows passion though I was fine with him as a very cheap back up these last few years, but the decision to extend that was absolutely baffling to me.

Wilmot. It's like last season again.....mentions of Wilmot & Laurent in the same game day thread can only mean one thing

Not being funny but why is anyone surprised?
It’s why the reaction to that bloke on YouTube being reasonable was hilarious.
I get people want to be optimistic but isn’t it better to be realistic?
10th-14th is a massive improvement for us.
Play offs seem like a dream.
And I know friendlies mean sod all but when you see the same things as you did in the previous season then I think that’s pretty telling.

We’re going into the season with a worse squad than last season, a suspension, both strikers who meet the definition of footballer injured, and our best player injured, marvellous.

I'm not sure why everyone thinks this commentator is so good, I get it's a difficult job but I think he's been poor, doesn't know what's going on a lot of the time and constantly getting players wrong Sahail and Ange are mustard this guy should stick to reading the news He’s doing well to stay awake tbh.

So do red cards in a friendly carry over into the new season? I suspect so. Now it's sorted who is off? Yes 3 match ban Having just read the FA rule book it seems it depends if the ref reports it to the correct association. Maybe he won't given both got cards.

We didn't need to extend his contract at all.

Gallagher looked miles off in the few mins he managed. No way he will be championship ready in 7 days. Guess this means we're stuck with Ennis leading the line next week. What have we become?!

Think we triggered the extension before Pearson was injured didn't we? Or perhaps we knew he had issues beforehand? Either way, Pearson out or not, we should have just parted ways and rebuilt the entire midfield to accompany burger and sidibe.

Laurent is like the invisible man. Ennis is weak as piss, spent more time on his arse.
