Exactly. Been saying this all summer. We already have the youth in all positions. Just pick up the best freebie experience to complete the squad, around them.

 

But most of all, get the right manager in to get them all firing 👀

Not sure if this is more or less Burtons first 11, but they finished 17th in league 1 last season so a decent barometer for the season ahead.

Who’s this lad wearing 50 in cm - immediately you can see he is super footballer - little turns - vision - great feet - always wanting the ball facing his own goal - literally a million times better than hamza 

[TheFiveTime]

Been crying for this for years - great to watch

[trabuch]

I am in danger of actually starting to like our players again.

[Blueman1967]

A good work out

Tommy Neale, looks very impressive to me.

dare I say it, Opoku looks a handful

He’s Ghanian like Ayew and thankfully studied his game last season so we’re in for a treat 

[Rubbersoul]

Couldn’t watch how did the youngsters get on?

Tommy Neale, looks like he might be playing his way into Russel Martin's plans.

[Kinowe Soorie]

Some very exciting, interesting options for the season ahead.

Need a song for Alves 

Will Alves, whoa-oa-oa
Will Alves, whoa-oa-oa
We shipped him out on loan
While fire burnt through Rome

[jv1]

Oh and without a shadow of a doubt the worst players in this game have been the more senior ones - Okoli , faes , hamza , Thomas utter poo - never going to change 

 

skipp, Nelson , Mav not to bad 

 

I reckon there is half a chance these young lads are going to make me love my club again

Riley Carr is proper rapid, and works hard. Like him.

We can only hope that Martin is seeing what we're all seeing. It would make for a refreshing change after the lions' share of a decade spen wondering what on earth posesses the manager to pick certain players and systems again and again.

so what was/is the score?

We could be a surprise? We’re favourites to go up mate…

[Ric Flair]

Tommy Neale is impressive, I only turned it on 2nd half so saw 15-20 mins of Braybrooke and then Neale come on and both look exactly what Martin's team needs in controlling play and opening the pitch up.

 

Nearly every academy player shone today. That Carr looks ready as well. Evans was great in the role he was asked to play and Hutchinson had some good moments linking up with him. 

 

We likely need a striker capable of 20 goals next season and should be our priority with whatever funds we may have but Opoku, Evans, Otchere and Hutchinson should all have roles this season across thay front 3 along with Alves and Carr.
