We'll lose this by at least 100. Porter has bowled 16 balls without conceding a run.

Small's performance shows that there are bargains to be had out there. A free transfer for a 21 year old with bags of potential. Looked several levels above our options at LB.

Up against it here.

Don't have a good feeling about this. No spinner in the team and Roman Walker starting does not bode well.

Worth a try as it would allow us to deploy BEK (in the slim chance he's not been sold) as an 8, where I think he'd be more effective.

Vesty won't. We gave him a 3 year contract last summer. Same as BCDR.

Obviously the lack of application and effort from the players is the main concern, but I don't think Marti is helping himself with some of his selections. If I've understood it correctly, when we're attacking he wants us to leave just the 2 CBs back with both full backs tucked in high up the pitch to overload the midfield. This is hugely risky football which leaves us highly vulnerable to counter attacks unless we have CBs who are fast and FBs who are good on the ball and quick on the recovery. Playing a left sided defensive combination of Thomas and Vesty is suicidal in this system.

He is going to need to change his tactics as we simply don't have the players to deliver what he wants ie high press and inverted full backs on both sides. For this to work you need 2 CMs with legs, 2 fast CBs and full backs who are quick and creative. Apart from Okoli, nobody fits that bill in today's team.

A seriously worrying performance. This is what happens if you have a team full of players who want to leave and/or in the last year of their contract.

3 successive home games coming up in the One Day Cup - how we do in those will determine if we make the quarter finals or not.

Being totally outplayed here. Was expecting more from us, given we've only lost a few players to the ridiculous Hundred. Oh well, the CC is the main priority this season.

More like they've become our dumping ground. They're hardly taking our prized assets.

Another disappointing batting effort. Keep losing too many wickets in the first 30 overs. Well short here, as we were at Glos.

As was Coady!

Same!

Was part of an excellent PL team in his early days with us but serious injuries have blunted his development and effectiveness. This move is good for all concerned: it gives him a fresh start in the PL, allows us to get another very high earner off the books, and might enable us to hold on to players who are more important to our chances of success this season.

Bit harsh on Coulibaly.

Seems a bizarre signing in retrospect but at the time we were all saying that we desperately needed a RB as at that time JJ was having a total nightmare and Ricky P was injured (again).

Not feeling at all confident after these 2 games. Need a massive improvement.

Plus we have Souttar back soon hopefully.

Always lovely beating that lot.

Lost our way completely here. Trevaskis eating up so many balls without scoring.

Just downloaded this for my overnight trip back from Canada tonight. Very happy!

Everton can do one. Spawny gits should have been dumped into the Championship years ago.

Totally agree. The current Blast format is too long and there are too many meaningless fixtures.
