If it was "well documented" why not tell those of us who don't know about it, who this is???

Sammy will be having a look at all of them in different combinations then will crystallise his thoughts and pick what he sees as his best side (injuries permitting) for the next couple of friendlies before the season starts.
I think it's good to have so many options in midfield. Danny got found out today but up to then I think (despite looking as if he's put on even more weight which I think needs addressing) he's played well.
You have to sort of read between the lines in friendlies and not get too worried about them because when it all starts in earnest players can suddenly shake themselves into gear.
But I DID really like the look of Howe and if he carries on like that we may not be too bad.

Yates, despite being on the left, played really well, over lapping and not shirking his defensive duties.
Personally I would like to have seen more of Mr Twiss. I eagerly await a chance to see Twissy and Howe starting a game together, you just know that with Twissy's vision and passing with Howe's running and powerful shooting ability that they would tear any defence apart.
Wayne was looking lean and hungrier than ever.
Midfield was sturdier in the second half, Stanners did well. About time he was taken off the transfer list and given some stability. In my opinion.
Only Howe of the new guys showed anything that was outstanding, to my untrained eye.
Good save by Roche in the second half, but was disappointed with the lack of marking and closing down for their goals. They also missed an absolute sitter in the first half as they dominated almost the entire half.
I have only seen Tranmere and before that Preston games, so my opinions can only be based the two games that we've lost. Maybe I should stay away more
I understand that they are only friendly games and that it doesn't count until the first game of the season and that they were against teams from a higher division. Am still hopeful of a half decent season though.
