Reply		This pre-season...
at 20:30 2 Aug 2025

I sort of agree about the results however probably a little bit more important then normal getting wins back in the tank manually after last year. But main thing for me is the performances which have been excellent for a pre-season. There was very little going through the motions.

Hackney for me is the only one that stings for me and if Omari or/and Broady goes.

If we get a striker and 2 CMs if good quality (Jens is a tick) then it's a good window all said and done.

Unlike say Burnley those that have left, other than Delap wouldn't have been a starter. Omari will be the only other that would be. That's pretty successful for a relegated side. Morsy of course is a loss but that is as much about mother time for him (can't all be Ashley Young :) ).

Let's just get those last jigsaw pieces done.

If the deal was good and we could get him relatively cheap £3-5 mil then I would be very happy to have him onboard if Omari is off. There is a value to him knowing exactly how we operate and the role he would need to do. He was just absolutely ideal in how he plays coming on because he was a bit blood and thunder in his approach.

A bit erratic but he's a really decent technical player and he'd absolutely love coming back.

A good replacement if we Omari/Hutchinson go. An no I don't want either to go. Obviously there are some other good options as well but Sarmiento has a bit of X factor about him and street fighter spirit. Yep, but of heart in this thinking but that's ok!

I think what people miss with Szmodics is he's relentless. Doesn't stop running and very good in a press and putting pressure on without the ball. He's more physical then Chaplin. Both good but I think Szmodics does a lot of the unsung work as well. Chaplin is a great option starting some games and coming on as a finisher. They can share the load. Honestly I'd still love to see Broadhead tried in that role at times as well.

Again to his eternal credit there is no sulk, no accepting he needs to move.

He's just knuckled down, worked hard on his game and fitness and scored 3 goals off the bench which is basically exactly what we need from him.

Can't fault his application and he's like you say young and only going to get better.

I don't think he's Prem but who knows and he can do a job for sure for us. Kone is ok but I'm still not convinced he is an upgrade on Al Hamadi.

Means absolutely nothing of course (not really true but obviously no points for pre-season) but can anyone remember a better pre-season then this.

We've played well, looked fit and Sharp and tried some really interesting things out. Strikers are scoring and we look ready. I remember it being decent pre-season when we won that little cup in Austria but results wise this one probably beats it.

2-3 more in before Friday and we are really in a good place.

Made a massive case to stay. That was a brilliant finish to cap a very decent pre-season for him. That goal is against very decent opposition as well.

I'm more than happy with Hirst, +1 new (Azon) and Al Hamadi.

(Of course if there is someone top class we can get as well then fair enough. Toulouse will need to stump up a few mil in that case!

*EDITED BRAIN FART MENTIONING Delap haha

No it didn't. It looked like a light sprain. Could be available Friday or 1-2 weeks I imagine. Obviously no guarantee but to say it looked significant from what we've seen is crazy hyperbole.

Townsends looked worst but mainly because was off the ball and looked in real pain. Philogene initially thought he could carry on.

Hopefully both nothing too bad and Jaden was hopefully more taking no risk.

Really was and very out of character. He's a lovely finisher generally. As said good to get that out of the way in pre-season

If Leif is just a knock we should be fine. Young and Humphreys can provide a bit of cover no problem at all for a 2-4 weeks.

Can't just sign someone to cover few weeks as 25 man squad rules.

A good league one striker with potential to play champ but not sure he goes beyond that honestly. If we signed him I'd hope he can kick on but wouldn't be one near top of my list.

The real figures seemed a really good deal to me. £15 mil for Hackney would have been a great buy.

It's bad news but Cajuste will take the sting off it for sure and some other good names linked.

Not in doubt. Great signing but he is not going to be doing a 46 game season.

Gutted about Hackney I have to say because that seemed like a brilliant signing.

Hopefully we can get Tyler Morten or another as close to Hackney quality as possible.

I know nobody has a bad YouTube show reel but I really like the style of this player in that he looks like someone will chase anything down and loves a battle. Some lo Ely finishes and touches. Could be a really good compliment to Hirst.
