Looking forward to see McGrandles in action.

Going to be an interesting game playing a team who very much play the way we want to.

Surprised that McGrandles starts over Payne with his recent injury

That's a pretty strong line up, will be interesting to see McGrandles and Payne in action as they try and stake a midfield claim.

Suspect they’ll get a half each.

Maybe he’s one of those players like Cullen who can just come straight back from injury and back into the 90 minutes.

Payne’s had less of a pre-season than McGrandles at this point! Maybe they’ll get 45 mins each or it’ll be a 60/30 split?

Call me a sentimental old fart but there’s sumin special about seeing Leaburn on the team sheet, up the addicks.

We’ll quickly shake that out of him!

I too get a buzz seeing a Leaburn on the team sheet sheet again as well but does remind me that I am now 64!

Is this is Scott Sinclair chatting to a Swansea guy?

First pre-season game. Will be interesting to see how they all play & will give me something to base my prediction on how we will do this season.

Looks more like Wayne Routledge to me.

JFC stays and Gilbey converted into a false 9?

We've got enough false 9s who should be true 9s.

Seen the starting eleven and the bench for today. 
It leaves me worried if that is the likely starting line up for the season. The bench relying on far to many youth players.

No. I start every season with a clean slate. Troubled that we only have 2 recognised strikers but there is still 5 weeks before the end of the transfer window.

40 days, 8 hours, 16 minutes and change going down according the the tv screens in the ground…
