Might as well watch it, hope he gives Barry a start.

Fingers crossed… will be something to look forward to!

Wine is at the ready…. Let’s hope there are some small positives from this evening

At least another goal from open play would be a start

I'm hoping we start to turn from "it's only a friendly" and "all about fitness" to planning for the Leeds game. Let's not leave it till the Roma game to start getting match ready for the new season.

Disclaimer: We already didn't have a full squad for pre season and look like we won't have a full squad for the start of the season, let's at least start upping the level and seriousness with what we have.

According to many there is no correlation between friendlies and start to the season.

Let’s see if this is true.

The intensity/tempo in the first half against Bournemouth was spot on. More of the same expected.

Totally. Sadly a number of things went wrong in the second half. Plus we couldn't compete with Bournemouth's subs. (Not for the first time ).
They definitely took their eye off the ball in the second half. Only a friendly? Yes. All about fitness? Yes. How about plan a full game and try winning one for once?

Many a true word said in jest…

We had no bench. We need to fix numbers as well as adding starters

 

[ToffeeScot]

Can we forfeit?

 

[ToffeeTim]

Too late to stay up thankfully

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Only ones staying up for this are the Lemo'eds.

Hopefully it’s cancelled due to bad weather.
