Should have a look at Jack Edwards from Leam. Great player

Not sure we gain much by switching Willis to RB. He’s never looked comfortable there, he’s pretty poor on the overlap and offensive side of things, plus we need his pace in the centre. Leave Sterling there. I’m sure MR and AV will have been through the mistakes etc with him and he’s got to...

Bayliss got a knock on his ankle in training on Thursday, MR said he should be ok for Sunderland

Thought he did, thanks for confirming. Curled into the top corner if I remember right?

A Pressley favourite that one. "The group were outstanding"

Interesting to see how he fits in when he's fully fit. As others have said, Shipley offers us considerable balance on the left and I'm not overly convinced about JJ's defensive capabilities in a 4-4-2. Wonder if we'd change system back to the 4-2-3-1 with a fluid front 4 maybe.

So can anyone give an overview of the evening, what was said, what questions were asked of Willis/Burge etc??

As you have alluded to, it is a warm-up not a training session!

Scott Dann & Cyrus Christie for better things as well.

*bear :)

Opportunity to give a few a rest and others valuable game time. Maybe something like the below, also wary that you can only make 5 changes (?) from last 1st team game, not including any injuries: LOB Sterling Davies Thompson Brown Thomas Ogogo Andreu Allassani Chaplin Bakayoko

Standard these days. Pay up you tight fuck

Hearing about the abuse he's been getting just makes me more desperate for the lad to succeed here. Disgrace that he's been written off this early and is actually being booed by some of our own moronic, fucking idiot fans. Really hope he comes good, doesn't deserve this treatment.

Struggling with his Achilles I believe, likely linked to that long standing heel issue that kept him out for a while last year.

Willis is pretty small for a centre half, he’s barely 6’0”, but has a good leap on him. Inevitable he will lose a few aerial duels and part of the reason why he’s best paired with a big fucker to do that side of things while he can mop up with his pace.

Yes Robins words.

Think the quote was ‘Bakayoko looked like he was playing with no thought at all, don’t know him and his personality that well yet but I hope I don’t see that side of it again’

Interesting - I still think its 3-5-2. If we're to play 4-4-2, surely Shipley on the left would have been the more natural fit?

Yep. Bayliss in the middle with Ogogo, Max flanked by Hiwula and Bakayoko. Excited to hear how it fares
