7 subs is going to be a big issue. Someone is going to miss out each week, probably easier to leave Page out than others. Add Chaplin to it too from up coming squads.

Has he not been signed because he can play out from the back? Literally the whole point.

Dont know if there is a general athletics thread and nobody else appears that bothered but I've enjoyed watching the European championship most nights this week and its been successful for GB in the sprints.

At the risk of sounding really stupid, is there a reason why we are not below Burton and Blackpool too? Is it not alphabetical order?

Think he will come good on other days, but not his best today. Joseph was a bit slow getting the ball to him in the first half. His major strength is getting balls into the box but who's going to be there.

Playing out from the back is great if you have the high level players. I can't understand why managers are insistent in making lower league players do it. Skipp and Reid were woeful facing their own goal. At least Reid shown for it, which was more than anyone else did but he was awful receiving it.

Had the look of someone who didn't know he was a goal keeper. One decent stop to be fair but other than looked like the shit goalkeeper I remember watching Southampton have.

Think we ended with Choudhury as a 10, if that doesn't say we need to sign someone I don't know what will.

It was not a high bar, but best player today. Well certainly most dangerous.

Dont think he's necessarily not trying but that extra 5 or 10% you need was not there.

Small sample size and didn't see him going forward at all but initial thoughts on Howell were positive. Likewise Watson too who I thought showed a threat. Hampered by having Thomas behind him

Didn't seem to know where he was playing. He's going to need some physicality around him, thats for sure. One game, but worrying

Reid was shit, but at least he's in positions to highlight how shit he is. Cullen didn't even do that. Not writing him off, maybe it just a bad day for Jim but in that evidence he's exactly what we didn't need.

Poor defensively and poor going forward. Some decent individual bits here and there but not good enough. Far more negatives than positives.

Come for the ball Mccarthy, I didn't expect him to be great but he's been awul.

Saying a young lad is out of his depth on live TV on his league debut for the club is a bit harsh. Not sure what she's got against Joseph

Alves to Braybrooke to Joseph. Nice to see. JJ has been poor on the ball but that's some strike. I'd be disappointed with the attempted block though if i was Notts county.

This women co commentator is ****ing awful. Desperate to go against us.

Feel like Souttar and Okoli are both playing with intensity of players that don't want to risk injury.

Notts County being massively overrated though because they've ran around a bit. Chucked a few balls in the box, that's it. But that's what we are going to have to put up with.

Made me miss ayew and daka

Doing ok seeing as we are playing with 9 men. Not sure if Reid and Cullen are false 9s, false 10s or just false footballers. But they are offering nothing, means we can't get put unless we can get it to Alves. Joseph has defended well but he's so slow on the ball. Thomas has been as predicted. Skipp atrocious but some of the passes into him have been awful. Braybrooke lost a lot of the time but does look bright in and around the box. Alves the bright spark. Lacking the physicality to compete.

People will jump at Reid, but hopefully it's just until the new signing is fit. Pleased to see Alves get the nod, up to him now to prove his worth.

I saw that Emilio Gay preparation for the test series has gone well. He's got a pair

Well they'll never get a better chance to win a test in Australia. Can still see Australia scraping to a 100 lead and Bangladesh all out for 80
