Not watching and WLS' update says Alfa, Gubbins, Hamalainen & Ramkilde on but just listed Dykes as off! Can I take it that Manning is also off, but who have Alfa & Gubbins replaced?
Honesty I don't know, so many changes since half time I got confused!
I'll take that for the first preseason. AFC werent up to much and didn't pose much of a threat but they pushed hard and gave the team a work out. Some pleasing moments but I don't want to comment on anything as its the first game and there were so many changes 2nd half.

Thanks for the updates surrey chad, much appreciated.
It can't hurt to get used to winning games and it can't hurt to keep a clean sheet and have your new striker score within 44 minutes. Friendly or not strikers need confidence.

I wonder if Dieng will be Number 1?
Good question re Dieng! When I saw that neither Lumley or Kelly were on the bench I was really surprised. Do they not need competitive games too?

Normally it would be no big thing, when pre-season is a month long and we have 7-8 games. This season we only have 2 games so it doesn't really add up why both miss out.
One could argue Lumley was playing competitive games a month ago, but Kelly wasn't!
Not surprised that Eze didn't get a game today because with 5 Premiership teams still sniffing around him the last thing they want is him to get injured.
With so few friendlies I think Warburton will mix things up and give lots of players 45 minutes.

Listening to Warburton's post-match interview, it seems that Warburton wanted to get a long look at Dieng and felt 45 mins was not enough. He did mention that Dieng did well and he now has THREE players fighting for the #1 shirt! Nice conundrum trying to select which I suppose!! Thanks for posting the highlights northwesthoop! Obviously only a snapshot of the game but does include some promising moves, positioning and shooting.
