Great support for a friendly, especially with away league games against Port Vale and Wimbledon coming up in the next few weeks.

Totally agree Ned,

Our away support this season will be excellent, I can see that.

Today's team:

BBM said the players that didn't play much or at all at QPR would play today so this makes sense.

Hopefully a good end to pre-season

Hopefully just keeping Rubin fresh for next Saturday.

No Ruben???

Fantastic support well done you bluebird fans ,enjoy the day on the Trent

Hopefully just keeping Rubin fresh for next Saturday.

Hope so

No Ruben???

No need for him and Lawlor to play, they played 90 minutes on Wednesday.

BBM made it clear that today would be mostly players who didn't get much game time if any against QPR.

Literally nothing more to it than that.

Rubin - Minor illness - Travelled with team

Dylan Lawlor - Slight knock - Nothing to worry about. Will be training on Monday

Eli king supplied the pass for salech looking good again

HT 0-1

Really impressed with king, always looking to pass forward and a great pass to set up Salech.

Good crowd up here and very vocal as usual

I hope I'm wrong but I would be surprised if Robertson is still here in September. For me doesn't seem the same happy positive player that joined us last season.

Did he thrash the ball into the net, aiming at the advertising board behind the goal

1-1

I still say at least 7 of these in the squad today need outing and if we were under normal circumstances get players in - but the club looks desperate that what they have is all that will be available to start the season - so my 20 quid at 40/1 relegation is looking damn good at present

You put 20 on us to get relegated?

Robertson I still say will be gone he does' nt want to be with us .

f*cking hell, it's pre-season

Clearly haven't watched the other friendlies either - this is a group who didn't get minutes on Wednesday.

Your bet is shit.

Really bad challenge by Norwood.

If it's a bad injury for Robertson, he won't be going anywhere.
