    Damn it. I would have gone but it was a bit of a farce getting tickets. Cheers for letting me know!

    1000 a good effort. I have zero interest going to VP for any friendly unless its Juve or Barca.

    Folks have just forked out on season tickets, these matches are rarely more than a training exercise. Surprised 1,000 could be arsed going on the hottest day of the year if I’m honest!

    Think Adams will have Sango'o or Canavan as skipper.

    Thanks for that.

    Parker said Evans also wasn't named in the team/squad. Think that's the person you were looking for.

    Beyond the usual caveats of this was a Donnie side affected by Covid, you can only beat what's in front of you. And once again, we pressed hard from back to mid to upfront and looked safe in defence. Only friendlies, but hopeful for the season ahead. I like that Adams is always desperate to press, always trying to keep us on the front foot.

    We've been crying out for a tough midfield enforcer since the halcyon shin smacking days of Gary Jones. Songo'o captain for me every time. Though Canavan's a good second shout, Songo'o could become a massive player for us.

    Spot on Keefly. If you look at Adams record from Ross County onwards he's a tough taskmaster who demands a big press from his teams. He has a way of playing that has been very successful in terms of first, saving clubs on a down, and then rebuilding them into promotion teams. He's got alot to live up to at VP, but I reckon he's our best bet since Parky.

    No, but we all know that Adam loves him and he will be Adams ears with the lads.

    He has the on the pitch leadership qualities this club needs.

    He will be one of the 1st names on the team sheet every week if fit.

    Makes sense to me.

    Ta,
    Sorry, I sacked Twitter a couple of months back!

    I’m well on the way to rehabilitation in the real world!

    About 2:20 in, asked about the performance of Abo Eisa - "yeah he did well, i think, you know, he has to do better". Is this the hard taskmaster Songo'o was referring to? Still, apparently there's more to come from him. I do like the cut of Adams's jib. (Apologies if my quote is wrong, struggling with the brogue).

    I'd give the lad the armband, but as he hasn't been Adams choice as Captain at Ross County, Plymouth or Morecambe Adams may be looking for other qualities, Songo'o looks like a player who just gets on with his job and expects the same from the others on the pitch.

    Selected, yes. Captain, absolutely not. The captain should personify the manager on the field and a keeper isn't involved in the game enough to do that.

    Yet more that once a goalkeeper has captained his country to a world cup win?

    If that can happen I'm sure it's more than adequate for league two.

    Personally I think keeper is wrong for the Captain position anyway , but if last seasons league form is a guide, he cannot command his defence, let alone the team. I’m only basing it on form, as opposed to liking the chap or not. Something went seriously wrong last season, it was there for all to see. Maybe an injury , maybe something we know nothing about, but an average L2 keeper doesn’t stop leaving his line for crosses in the six yard box overnight, without reason?

    That’s what appeared to happen …. ?
