I'm trying to find some shred of positivity to cling on to

Daka scoring two (no matter how shite) is a definite positive.

Daka brace incoming.

Good call!! 

[honeybradger]

If El Khannouss is on the way out (as implied by him being in the B team) i am a bit disappointed that Alves has lined up in our B team.

 

He should be the next attacking midfielder in line for us surely?

Did look sharp on the clip the other day, mind you it was table football

People are reading way too much into the line-ups.

Argh one of the 2000+ keepers that used to shout “Weeeeeee ul” when Ricardo was in sticks?

Yeah. Fiorentina will be the more obvious indication, and even then it's not a concrete thing

[South Shire Fox]

Anyone know when Souttar will be back? Not really heard his name mentioned yet, could be a big player for us this year going on his performances last season at Sheff

Does anyone know how geographically close the 2 matches are today?  Will Marti be going to both of them, or are they hours driving apart?

50 odd miles.

About an hours drive, so plenty of time to do both games.

Even worse banned and pissed driving

Team badly needs some new faces, I’m bloody bored of seeing the likes of Ndidi and Soumare in a Leicester shirt.

Alves Evans Nelson

Missed a bit of the game but thought Evans was pretty ineffective. Nelson looked very composed and Alves improved after the break I thought.

I wouldn't take anything from the line ups.

We are having PTSD of Cooper last season when he said it was for fitness. Then he carried it on when the season started.

Will Alves needs to go out on loan to league 1 team. Cardiff boards say -no pace and no end product..

Many agree who have seen him in open age football. Not the answer, let's hope he improves and reaches the potential mentioned on here.

Really is bleak. Said late last season you'll have 8 of last years team start our first game. I'd say it's now very likely to be 11. Life under Top and Rudkin for you - stale.

[teblin]

I think you can read more into how long the players played rather than which team they are in to be honest.

He came up against their captain, an accomplished left back. He looked frustrated at times and tried very hard, probably too hard. but he’s still very young and will learn a great deal from this experience.

Missed the game, would appreciate if anyone wanted to do a write up or match ratings for those who played. 
 

good to see daka pick up some confidence, like it or not he’s going to be needed
