    Perhaps he's doing to not let on who the actual skipper will be?

    Never really thought a keeper captain has the best impact

    Eisa sounds a right handful.

    Remember Dieng being a world beater for a game... ;)

    Let's hope he can continue on through the season in the same vein

    Doesn't make any difference what position they are if they're the best man for the job.

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

    Enjoyed that. Of the new players Eisa stood out, Kelleher looked nervous and made a couple of mistakes but rest all looked OK. Convincing win against a league 1 side with a fair few trialists in it.

    I think history has proven the most successful captains tend to be CBs or CMs. Not a rule though I concede.

    Songo'o for captain for me I do like a central midfielder as captain. Surely not keeper again

    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!

    and well done to City, no food or drink kiosks but they had people handing out free bottles of water. I wonder if they had tops on?? (the bottles, not the people handing them out)

    Was alright, don't they were much cop, hardly what you call a league one outfit, most the team were barely out of nappies. I'd struggle to convince myself they were a step up from avenue if I'm honest.

    Never tested at all really, if Oteh was in trial for them I didn't recognise him.

    Strolled through it, missed some good chances again early doors which we'd need to take when the season starts.

    Cook looks bang at it target man wise, i just hope we can start to get more men around him and in the box when he wins those headers or lays the ball off.

    Eisa and Gillead will be a handful, I think they will be our wide starters as both have a good defensive ethic too.

    Sutton played full 90 and never stopped, no watt again, I have a feeling someone else was missing at DM from Tuesday but I can't work out who. Staunton had some lovely touches in there.

    Defence wise, not tested. None did anything wrong, ridehalgh could do with being a bit more composed on the ball. He seems very heavy footed.

    Keepers seem to have been instructed to do away with the short kick offs, it was all going long from dead balls which I don't mind personally.

    Canavan gobby with the officials, instructive to team mates, I think will end up captain
