Hughton knows what he's doing. There are two friendlies this coming week to play the full team and I'm still confident we'll make a couple of signings (at least a centre half) before Derby

4/5 of these players are gauranteed 1st team starters. What do you expect. It's a training excercise for the like of Twats like Ernest to get excited about.
Years ago friendlies would not have gave even raised a discussion. Now it seems we are all doomed.
Makes me laugh anyway.

Like you I am relatively confident of at least one CB before Derby, but let be honest that wouldn't just be nice it is an absolute necessity.
Everyone is aware its a friendly and results don't overly matter, but lets be honest the performances in both games have been a long way short of where we hoped they would be and both Luton and Fulham were a lot brighter and stronger than us. Much work to do in the next fortnight.

No Stephens in starting eleven at Stevenage.
Or on bench

Does CMS still play kick'n'rush for Luton anyone know? Couldn't see his name on the teamsheet. And rarely see his name on the scoresheet. Another club obviously not 'playing to his strengths'.

Yes, doesn't bode well. If he's been injured then I wouldn't risk him. But Hughton insisted he would play in one of the games today.

We'll be needing snookers by Christmas and the bore draw expert will be gone,let's get Maclaren in to get some urgency into the team.
Yes but injured

What a great suggestion. It's a shame you're not the Chairman really.
If 13 wins, 6 draws and 1 defeat in the last 20 league games is a bore draw expert, I hate to see what you would call most managers.

This year it is also more important to give the best U23/U21 players game time with the first team squads put out in these friendlies as they are the ones to be called on in the absence of emergency loans this year.
Looks like all the EFL Trophy slots will be used up by the time they get to Brighton in the U21 league rankings from last year, but here's hoping we get in as well.

Okay considering he was partnered with Rohan. Let's see his alongside Beram next Saturday and then judge.

The most important thing we've learned (again) is to NEVER play in the red kit.

Ignore the troll. He's just deeply unhappy as an individual.

To add a little bit of perspective into pre-season friendly results as pointers for the forthcoming season....

No you are not allowed to say things like that. Yesterday marked the end of any hopes we have all season. We might as well sell all our players, accept relegation and hope to start again in League 1 in 2017/18.
