It definitely feels to me that Stephan wasn't really involved in choosing the side tonight.
The half time score completely flattered us - Burrell was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch. Understand taking him off to save for Saturday...
But the same as Saturday, we were completely bullied in the 2nd half and it could have been more than 3-2. I'm all for playing the youngsters, but they have to be able to compete - I don't think tonight will have done any good for any of their personal esteem.
Playing the kids just to make a point is poor IMO, we deserve better than throwing the kids to the wolves. |

Absolutely loved La Chimera too... beautifully filmed, almost fairy tale like and magical.
Past Lives has to be up there for me.... such a moving film. Contemplation of growing old, past relationships and missed opportunity....
On the complete reverse of both of those above, I absolutely love Mad Max - Fury Road.
read the book about making the film, the trials, tribulations of the two main actors not getting on, George Millar's absolute insistence for not using CGI and 9 months of filming in Namibia after Australia's weather proved too difficult. An absolute thunderous joy ride of amazing visuals and spectacle.... |

Kind of agree... although I also think Norwich with Manning at the helm will be strong and my outside bet would be on Millwall to give it a good go....
Although Sanderson is the worst of Derby's free spending pre season trolly dash... [Post edited 5 Aug 22:39]

I'm with you NLR - it's total dog whistling, but for the sake of Clive's sanity it's not worth chasing lost causes.
Unpleasant and unnecessary. |

Seems like Akpom's agent has played a blinder.
He's played Birmingham off against Middlesboro and Ipswich ..
Three teams fighting for his signature and Ipswich now in pole position... |

Gulp.... wasn't going to say it, but you've said it for me... agree with all those points.
It's all well and good to have this pseudo methodical approach to promoting from within and playing the youth but that was a long way from convincing me we have enough to maintain mid table supremacy.... |

Trying to stay as positive as possible after watching the game today but blimey, that was a tough watch.
Obviously I don't want to judge the manager on the pre-season games, but I can only assume the approach has been a considerable effort to identify the players we don't need rather than the ones we want.
Saw very little today to make me think that Julien is any type of a tactician... we did very little to trouble them today and I have to say that I'm pretty concerned - we seem to be lacking in three, four maybe five positions.
As he has alluded to in the interview, next week will be a totally different game with a different atmosphere, but I do worry for him with a full house if we offer as little as we did today... |

Sorry to come across cynical here but it was probably more due to the fact that Noury cherry picked and prepared his team for the questions that were asked.
Agree that Stephan seems to have a sense of humour though - he's going to need it...
Andy Sinton is a true legend. |

I think we will need to agree to disagree - the fact that our national team are still relying on dragging out Luke Shaw from his injury bed suggests otherwise. |

My overriding hot take from the Forum was this - Noury has definitely got his complete team now - it was very clear that he was completely in charge of the narrative and everyone - including Stephan - were very much briefed on what their part is and what they could say.
I don't think you will find anyone stepping beyond their clearly mandated defined roles.
Whether that is a good or bad thing remains to be seen - if it is successful then group hugs all around but if we struggle to keep out of the bottom five, something will have to give. How they respond to that will be interesting.
Clearly there were some positives from the Forum - I found it interesting that they had identified certain positions to focus development on - the number 6 role and centre half's seems obvious - but at the same token, why they haven't noticed we desperately need left backs seems bizarre. |

I picked up on this completely too.
I don't think that its any coincidence that Noury and his team are 'data and analysis driven'
At times it reminded me of the Cambridge Analytica model - It doesn't need to be necessarily true - it just needs to be believed.
They can say whatever they like in those forums and know that they won't be challenged. |

I've no associations with Wednesday - either good or bad - but what is happening there is shocking. The basis of a really decent side with a great manager - all being thrown under the bus by an absolute clown of an owner...
This should not be allowed to happen in this day and age. |

Last pre-season before the opening game next week.
Julien Should at least be playing the side that will be very close to the first team next weekend.
Quite looking forward to watching the new signings in the format we will be approaching the new season... |

I like it a lot - however I also really like the pink and black halves.
Hopefully the first kit will be just as good as these two. |

That was genuinely exciting to watch.
Really enjoyed that - Chloe Kelly ooozes confidence.
I don't rate the Italians - always thought the Swedish were a much tougher ask.
France/Spain to cancel each other out in the semis..... |
