That is puzzling me too... we had two number 5s on the pitch in the second half! One of them was Luis Fernandez. Mason Bloomfield (I think!) wore a blood shirt (numberless) but #20 on the shorts. Just for any other stattos/geeks.
Yes, thought he was really really good, comfortable in possession, sits at the base and cleaned up well whilst also dictating the play from deep. Very impressive cameo.Tony wrote: Wed Jul 19, 2023 9:04 amWas that Ewan Sanchez?BevereeMaster wrote: Tue Jul 18, 2023 10:34 pm Number 5 is some player by the way!

Completely agree with this. Managers always go on about pre-season being about players getting game time...why, especially if they are highly unlikely to be figuring?Tony wrote: Wed Jul 19, 2023 6:40 pm Just a personal view but I would like to see something closer to the starting XI in the next game. Only three PSFs left and not much time to get the key players used to each other before the season starts in earnest. As much as we want to encourage the Academy lads I doubt they will feature in the first squad at Eastbourne. Beaconsfield will be a decent test for us and perhaps give an indication of prospects.
From talking to Mel it seems like there won’t be a set 11, he will change shape and personnel based on the opponent hence most players in the squad are of starting quality.Tony wrote: Wed Jul 19, 2023 6:40 pm Just a personal view but I would like to see something closer to the starting XI in the next game.
