It's the first friendly of the whole preseason, a ball hasn't been kicked in anger, no real training or fitness work has got underway... some players may look like they could shed a few pounds but they probably will do. If the week before the first game Ajose still has a tyre round his middle, THAT'S when I will worry.

Dare I say it, like a certain Breton striker we had, that always came back to a new season looking over weight, as many mentioned on this forum

he was looking very sharp yesterday and moving well
I'm told some of the players were wearing fitness monitors under their shirts. What they usually wear in those sports bras during training. They monitor heart rate and movement and are useful for analysis after the game. This probably made the players look a little bulkier.

Yeah I noticed that on the top of the back of their shirts.
My impression of the game was that the new boys showed well, the trialists need to improve. Of the Old boys Cousins looked OK put some good passes in. Cebellos over hit his crosses and was robbed of the ball to easily. The defence has not improved and something needs to be done quickly about improving it.
Overall i thought the second half team looked solid, not overly sure about pike. Thought both thomas and holmes dennis looked ready for the step up. Ricky holmes could become a favourite wuite quickly and thought that he, novak, ajose and ceballos worked well as an attacking threat! Really impressed with ceballos, seemed a different player and one who wanted to play.

he will be up against defenders who hopefully will struggle against his pace and awareness, as shown yesterday
Don't they normally wear those around their chest rather than their stomach?

I see, so we're just a short overweight team wearing sports bras..
Nothing to worry about this season then.
Sorry i can't resist.
Private Pike to you.
