Just gone 1-0 up against Boro, Baker scored. From a bleeding corner. This is odd!

If we don't make signings we're in serious trouble. It's like watching us last season.... Went 1-0 up, conceded an equaliser, and collapsed. 1-3 with just over 10 minutes left. We're not leaving this division any time soon. I know it's pre-season, but this is our last game before the season. Sheff Weds will batter us at this rate.

Well, there's two ways to leave the division...

Fair point, I think there's just about enough rubbish in the league to save us from that though hopefully if things don't improve!

1-1 draw with Reading last night and a 1-0 win over Cardiff this afternoon. Of the two squads, the one v Reading was slightly more like a first team and v Cardiff was a bit younger and experimental.

All the best to both for the kickoff next week.

QPR beat us 2-0.

Pretty poor performance from us but I do expect QPR to be better next season...

0-0 draw with Pompey at home

Pre season over, been looking forward to the start of the season since March/April and it's almost here now.

Full time. 1-3.

You'll be glad to know that Elphick is the only fucker who can defend in our team it seems, AFCB_Mark !

We won our last pre-season friendly in a fairly comfortable fashion - 2-0 against Karlsruher SC. Darren Bent and Andreas Weimann on the scoresheet.

It was another mixed bag starting line up, with Hughes and Martin on the bench to begin with and Weimann and Blackman on the wings.

The back five was what we can expect next week, but I'm still none the wiser to who will be starting where. Darren Bent has surely done enough to get the nod, but that means Martin could be on the bench. Nevertheless, it's been a good week for our lot; four wins out of four - seven scored and one conceded.

Nice to hear.

Also a weird triangle in that Reading played Cardiff in a behind closed doors friendly this afternoon, for players of each side who didn't play against Bournemouth. 2-0 win for us.

Yawn. That was as dull a game as I've ever watched.

In the season we reached the playoff finals we lost to Forest Green and Motherwell. I don't read anything into it at all

I really don't think that pre-season is important. We'll just have to wait and see what happens next week.

Saw Norwich yesterday as they lost 3-2 to Hannover...Cameron Jerome missed a sitter inside 20 seconds so not much change there.

Thought they looked quite poor really, Josh Murphy was hooked off after 20 minutes and Norwich only really threatened when Hannover took their foot off the gas at 3-0 up.

Beat Atalanta 2-1 but not particularly impressive by all accounts. Wood pen and Roofe.

Beat a poor Port Vale side 3-0 this afternoon at Hillsborough, goals from Lees, Forestieri and debutant Almen Abdi who looks ridiculously good. Hard to judge us against a side who offered so little but we looked tidy with the ball and dangerous going forward, particularly down the right hand side. Encouraging pre season and can't wait for the big kick off against Aston Villa next Sunday.

Was our second string plus a couple of youth grads to be fair except Tavares, Hooper and Forrester (latter two who didn't come on until late on) pleased we kept it to 3 in fairness.

Tavares probably looked the pick of your players was okay on the ball, the keeper you threw on after an hour looked very shaky though.

He's the Benfica keeper we are signing on loan shortly to challenge Alnwick for the number 1. Our first look at him. Tavares is the one we expect to be one of the better foreigners we've signed based on his past hopefully. Just wish we'd played a full 11 today as it would have given us a better idea where we are than yesterday in my opinion.

Yeah I was hoping to get a good look at your first team squad to be honest, on the basis of what I saw today if that 11 starts every week in League One it will be in a relegation fight. But as you say hard to tell until you see your first choice 11.
