And if we are any idea of how we are doing?

Losing one nil. It’s not exactly scintillating stuff.

Could be three down.

My dog only responds to commands in Spanish. He's Espanyol.

Not from Barkalona is he?

We were 3/1 at home to win. Im not paying to watch reserves

That's probably being generous to us, we haven't looked good.

Has everyone been poor or have any of the younger players looked decent again?

They're finishing has been **** poor, best player on the pitch just made it 2-0

2 down.

Two nil - lovely strike.

McNeil has been OK. Not been as impressed with O’Neill today as I was last week. Wells hasn’t grabbed his chance although in fairness, he’s not exactly had the service.

Walts and Bards are having blinders.

Nobody on the pitch anywhere near good enough to considered for the 1st 11.

I'm impressed with dunne, mcneil has drifted out of the game badly,oneill just neat and tidy, hendrick has been awful

cheeky bid after the match for him - maybe this is how we do our European scouting

That won't go down well with the posters who think McNeil is the next Messi.

Are you including Hendrick?

Considering being back in central midfield is his preferred position, he’s not exactly shown it today.

proof it where needed, their number 10 cost 7.2 million a month ago. Our scouting is awful (or Dyche doesn't want foreigners)

I assume it finished 0-2. What was the crowd ( apart from being bored) Thanks.

Not sure but I could have counted them and it would have been more exciting that the football.

Oh come on, we all know european scouting network extends about as far south as Stoke.

Isn't McNeil too tall to be compared with Messi?

Did "trialist" get any game time?

Certainly am!

You wouldn't of said of that performance hendrick was a regular starter

Their number 10 was by far and away the best player on the pitch, first touch was fantastic and he maybe misplaced 2or 3 passes, he made the game look easy

Certainly not for me but Sean might think differently.

Were we playing against midgets or are we a bit heightist ?

Men against boys. Problem was the boys were much better than our boys

Highlights from this afternoon.

Hendrick should be nowhere near the first team on that performance...I think Dyche is realising that now.

Just looked him up on wiki, started his career with espanyol had a couple of moves that didn't work out and he's moved back, might of been homesick.
He did look good, a lot like defour.

When you put out what is virtually a reserve side don't expect one ore two first-teamers to shine. It doesn't work like that.

It was a dull game ...soporific in the sunshine. Hedrick was not great it's true but he and Taylor still stood out in terms of looking like they had more time on the ball than the rest of our team.
McNeil perhaps did also but having seen him 3 or 4 times now he is just so one-footed it makes him extremely predictable when on the ball. He is a smooth runner but not particularly rapid and I'm struggling to "get" him.
Wells and Walters were the definition of ineffectual. O'Neill wasn't as good as last week. Jimmy Dunne definitely looks a prospect.

Hendrick always seems to play better when Brady is playing.

Training excercise. What do we want players going 100 mph getting injured ? It was always going to be low key at best.

I consider myself more of a Hendrick fan than most but he was dog sh1t today. Walters movement was decent in the first half but he seemed to tire in the sunshine. Agree that O'Neill wasn't as good as last week but he was still decent. Don't understand what Wells offers. Koiki is rapid - made a great covering tackle. Also, did you know that Jimmy Dunne is two footed?
