Hamzat Balogun. Why?
I’m asking because I don’t recognise him, the personnel changes more often than the ‘orange lunatic’ changes his mind

I find your reply curious, why are you asking why I’m looking for the identity of #58?

Only thing I have heard is Ramsey dropped a real clanger for Shrewsbury’s first.
Banel was apparantly very sharp.
Tresor looked decent when he came on.
Apart from that nothing else
Shrewsbury have posted their opener on X and yeah it’s a terrible attempt of a pass from Ramsey

The Shrewsbury player who gets the touch before the scorer handles the ball. Not easy to see on the video but I’ve spoken to people there and it was an obvious handball.

Keepers fault that goal, four Shrewsbury players around Ramsey with one touch tight behind him, to play that pass is absolute madness.

Oh really, still doesn’t look a great attempt of a pass from Ramsey but that’s what happens when playing out from the back

How long is it since Ramsey played a proper match? He will probably need more time than the others to get up to speed.

Came on at QPR on the last game of the season! He had a decent game as well.

Ramsey has a history of giving up the ball on dangerous areas. I don't see why people think he will play a big part this season.

He'll be Brownhill's replacement at this rate.

Tuanzebe was subbed after about 23 minutes. Injury?

All the players including him made several shuttle sprints up the sidelines after coming off, he looked fine during those so maybe precautionary.

There was an interview I watched, Jackson I think, where he said the players had been under heavy load this week in training so were coming in to the game deliberately fatigued as part of the pre-season regime.
23 minutes seems an odd number but maybe very accurately calculated!

Edwards was a step above the rest, some great intent and not frightened off letting a shot off, gorgeous free kick for the goal. Barnes and Ramsey were disappointing in the first half, Barnes missed a great chance after a good shot by Banel, Ramsey poor back pass led to their first. Banel worked hard, lacked a bit of quality. Sonne made some good runs but final ball was lacking.
The front 3 were incredibly fluid all game. Tchaouna finished the game up front as the main striker. he looked exciting fast strong didn't really have a shot but certainly a presence, Tresor played 25 minutes in cm, didn't do much. Wasn't a game filled with quality. Nice for the players to come to the away fans sign some autographs and pose for some pictures etc at the end.
I was about to ask about Tchaouna. Pleased to see he looked dangerous as he does look to have a bit about him on his Youtube clips. Possibly further back than striker though as he looks to release the ball and find space well.

It's not everyday one sees a player wearing a bandana or whatever his head gear was
