Match Thread Burton Albion v Leicester PSF

[Brown Nose]

I couldn't stand it and switched it off after ten minutes so fair play to those that stuck with it.

 

[Brown Nose]

Yes, I know what one is. Why was there one after a pre-season friendly?

Because it wasn't a pre-season friendly for Burton. It was their cup final.

It was for the Bass charity Vase it’s been running since 1889 we last won it in 1982

 

[Graz]

Sounds like a terrible game and not one to take much away from, but how did Daka look?

 

[Jeff]

They did a penalty shoot out in a friendly? That's a new one on me

Barely had a touch.

Thomas, Wilf and Vardy the standouts. Dewsbury-Hall looked handy.

Soumare looks a good player, collected the ball from deep a lot.

Sowah didn’t look ready for prime time but it’s early.

I could use a vase full of Bass right now too

From the line-ups/subs alone, it looks Soumare was used in the Tielemans role in midfield rather than the defensive role. I think as expected.

But means probably Hamza or Mendy needs to be kept around as backup for Wilf

Yes that was my impression too. But thought Dewsbury-Hall did a better job of moving the ball quickly in the second half.

Thomas was good. Wilf was excellent as always.
Center backs in the first half we're poor.
Daka did nothing of note. But then had no service.

 

[Scodger Cubs]

KDH and Suengchitthawon linked up well.

KDH finishes well and his penalty was quality.

Nacho looks off the pace, Hamza and Ghezzal show why they need to go.

It is a proven scientific FACT that the worse we look in pre season, the better we are when the season starts.

 

[Volpone]

Best player by far in the first half was Ryan Bertrand. His experience shone through and his anticipation was a joy to watch. One of the best acquisitions in this transfer window.

They should both go. But not based on anything they did (or didn’t do) in this game. It was a fitness exercise.

It looks like Soumare could easily play the Wilf role alongside Tielemans, or play alongside Wilf in place of Tielemans, or play with both in a 3. No need for Choudhury or Mendy to be kept around.

I thought he was as rusty as an old gate post. Just like the rest of them were. Luke Thomas was the best player on the pitch by a country mile followed by Ndidi.

Not that any of it will be in any way refelcttive of how we will play come the start of the new season.

We will lose Wilf for the AFCON won't we?

For that reason alone I don't think we would let Mendy and Hamza both leave

We lose Mendy for the AFCON too I think.
