Minteh looks great. I like Barco. Yalcouye and Osman look like loan candidates to me. We need a RB and some PL ready reinforcements in midfield. We also need a better GK than Steele between the sticks in 3 weeks time.

Defence is not looking good , can see us giving lot of goals away when opposition catches us on the break ,
when will Steele use his hands to make a save , should of saved their goal ,
enjoyed our attacking game

Decent first half. Leggy players, probably been a hard training week.

Weird one tactically. Keep getting done with balls over the top because neither Yalcouye or Milner are sitting and sweeping up. Coupled with two fullbacks playing very adventurously - one an attacking midfielder Moran playing out of position - has left us rather exposed.

Gorgeous finish from Minteh, who has looked class in these two brief appearances.

Steele not inspiring confidence, I think he could’ve done better with the goal and completely misjudged a corner. Osman looking a little slow in possession too, but very early days to get up to pace.

Game played at a good intensity and it’s a great run out against competitive opposition.

Let’s see what the second half XI have got, and no injuries please lads.

Here are Co-Pilot's suggestions for Mint puns. It shouldn't give up its day job.

  1. It’s mint to be.
  2. Thanks for the encourage-mint.
  3. I work in the entertain-mint industry.
  4. Let’s go to the amuse-mint park.
  5. We got into an argue-mint.
  6. There’s no judge-mint here.
  7. I applied for a new job, and they asked for my employ-mint history.
  8. The common advice is to diversify your invest-mints.
  9. We have a spare room in the base-mint.
  10. I’m moving into a new apart-mint.

If our back 4 for the first half scared us, if the kids come on for the 2nd half at the back, I might hide behind the sofa! These are a good test for our game against Everton....

So much to be excited about but defensively it is currently brown trousers and bicycle clips time

This is a pretty feisty match for a friendly, very watchable

Really curious how teams will deal with having to double up on Mitoma AND Minteh.
Does this mean there will be more space through the middle?

Think there's work to be done as a defensive unit, but that's no surprise into a pre season at this point. Maybe having Weiffer in there will mitigate a lot of the problems.

Decent first half overall.
