Pre-Season Friendlies Previews & Analysis

West Brom tomorrow isn't it?

Think this one might be a tad more serious and we will step things up a little bit.

Riberio is back, all the forest squad played paintball wars today, and he was there

Hopefully it installs a bit more fight in the team.

Unusual Team photo.

Has anyone identified who's there and who's missing yet?

Who are the two masked players?

[Strawberry Avenger]

So that was Jenkinson for the 'ridiculous' back pass (jeez...where do we get these players from...) and allegedly Smith mistake for the last goal?

One of the two Port Vale goals is credited as an OG?

That second one was saved by Smith into Blackett? and in, so would expect an og for that one.

So Smith flapped and missed at a corner for the first, and Jenkinson played them through on goal for the second.

Neither Smith or Jenks should be in our first team come the start of the season 'if we're serious about promotion'. (And if Jenks is, he won't be in centre mid like that, he'll be on the flank where he can do less damage.)

I'd be more concerned if it was Samba flapping at crosses and Colback laying it on a plate for their forward.

So people feel we might take tomorrow’s game a little more seriously and not have 2 teams of 11 and maybe more of a settled side for 60 mins before changes. So who do you think it’ll be? Is colback up to speed yet? I don’t think he has played as of yet so maybe not. Would you stick Fred straight in? And with cashy’s rumoured moves to Villa you gotta feel he may not feature either?

Samba
Darikwa
Worrall
Figs
Ribeiro
Da Costa
Fred
Freeman
Ameobi
Taylor
Grabban

Or would you have colback for Taylor?

[Alf Garnett]

I wonder if any press will be allowed into todays friendly with West Brom.

[Jsmed]

Doubt it, but West Brom are tweeting updates.

I wonder if Cash will play any part? Will give us more of an idea if this bid talk is true.

Just seen that about West Brom doing updates.

Kicks off at 12pm. West Brom have put there team up but not seen our team.
