Cadiz v Burnley Sun 4th August

[Foshiznik]

Why no Benson? I thought that I saw him warming up about ten minutes ago.

No, you saw him running with the ball. He’s on the pitch mate!

[Commy]

Why no Benson? I thought that I saw him warming up about ten minutes ago.

I was sure I had seen Benson

[jedi_master]

I think most are probably aware they were never going to feature this season

I was referring more to the recent speculation r.e Conway. Maybe it’s an imminent thing.

[RVclaret]

Pires looks good.

[jedi_master]

Pires looks good.

Yes, ultra composed on the ball.

[ClaretTony]

Aren't Twine and McNally involved in the transfer swap for Conway?

It’s been speculated but I think they are two players we will be likely to want to move on

[Foshiznik]

Is Enoch Agyei left footed?

[RVclaret]

Is Enoch Agyei left footed?

Yes, usually plays off the right cutting in.

[dermotdermot]

He’s been on since the 73rd minute or so!

I can see him now. I must have nodded off.

[ecc]

My God this thread has it all.

7 degrees difference.

It's a friendly in abnormal temps vs WC Final.

We've had three variants of one player's surname: Wilson Odobert.

[Conroysleftfoot]

At least the Cadiz tackling is getting us used to the treatment our players will get in the Championship.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Benson looking sharp

[Foshiznik]

For a friendly, this Cadiz side aren’t half dirty.

[Greekclaret]

Hountondji reminds me of Haller, formally of West Ham now dortmund

[ClaretTony]

Hountondji reminds me of Haller, formally of West Ham now dortmund

I hope he doesn’t have to go through what Haller has

[Foshiznik]

Hountondji reminds me of Haller, formally of West Ham now dortmund

Hopefully we get less West Ham Haller and more Ajax Haller!

[ClaretTony]

That’s it

[jedi_master]

Enjoyed that - great to just watch a match again. I imagine it was a really good fitness exercise and we’ve seemingly come through unscathed. Great confidence boost for Lyle too.

[gawthorpe_view]

Finished 1-1

[colne-claret]

Decent enough performance on a poor pitch in high temperatures. Could have been a lot worse. Looking forward to the season now.

[Cooclaret]

Pires looks a good footballer, but I would be mindful who we play in front of him.

Roberts is bobbins.

Surprised how many balls the CB’s lost in the air.

It’s a nothing but a fitness game.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Must admit I was a bit disappointed with the first half.

But we were a hell of a lot better in the second half showed some real signs of promise for this season.

[Vegas Claret]

Happy enough with that, we were the better side imho but we need to sort the set pieces out

[HahaYeah]

Good workout. Bring it on.

[Clevedon Claret]

Respect to all the Clarets that made the trip.

Enjoy those long cool beers tonight.

[ArmchairDetective]

My attention was split between watching our game and the olympics, but we seemed to show much more in that second half.

It's been great watching some of the world's best athletes on one screen and some runners on the other.

[FCBurnley]

Excellent work out in mega heat. Super finish from Foster. Lot of work to do but showed some promise in the second half but a lot of work to do

[dermotdermot]

Roberts is wearing a bra. He must think that he’s at the Olympics.

[fatboy47]

Decent.

[Guller Bull]

We are staying up, say we are staying up!

[123EasyasBFC]

Esteve wasn’t great first half

[KlyBfc]

Decent second half that. Controlled the game improved in the areas we needed to at half time and had some opportunities, to score again.

[IanMcL]

Those saying it was a good fitness run out, will recall that in one week's time, 3 points are at stake. A little late for just a fitness run out.

The good news is that we showed more composure, 2nd half. 442 for the Championship.

[RVclaret]

Enjoyed that. Pires looked decent, Koleosho lively and Odobert good in pockets. Great finish by Lyle who also looked fit. All without Berge, JBG & Zeki.

[gawthorpe_view]

Anyone back yet?

[JimmyRobbo]

Only caught the last 30 mins or so but thought we looked OK.

It's a friendly. If anyone has played football, you know it doesn't really mean much other than fitness and getting to know each other's styles.

I thought the new striker had something.

[Pearcey]

Great workout. Just back from Spain yesterday and it’s bloody hot so fair play to them. I was knackered after walking half a mile for some breakfast pastries every morning! UTC.

[Vino blanco]

Pires looks like a left fullback, whilst Vitihno doesn't. Overall not a bad runout, still not great watching us tapping it around at the back, we're not good enough for that.

Pretty much every manager across the country will reference every pre season game as minutes in the legs

[Rileybobs]

Take the point and move on.

[beddie]

I don’t think you can judge anyone playing in that game. Tired legs after a long camp.

[Newcastleclaret93]

I dunno, I thought there were a lot of positives to take from that.

I liked that we have definitely tweaked our system (not afraid to go long when required).

I really liked a few of the subs performances also.

[exilecanada]

Do we know if Trafford got any game time at all during pre-season? From what I can gather it looks like Hladky plays most minutes which would probably indicate he's number one in the goalie pecking order.

[claretskeith]

I managed to watch the first half on the train, but the buffering meant I missed the second.

It sounds like we played a lot better and we look promising?

Season half we controlled the game, foster took his goal very well

[Newcastleclaret93]

Am I missing something? Why is foster 33-1 to be top goal scorer this season.

Nailed on for a 20plus season if he stays fit

[Vegas Claret]

Nice tweet from Cadiz

[CoolClaret]

Thought the kit looked good 'in the flesh' so to speak.

White shorts make all the difference and I thought the blue socks complimented the trim on the shorts/shirt. Decent.

[warksclaret]

After watching that I played Ian Dury and the Blockheads "Reasons To Be Cheerful" . After an indifferent start we really grew into the game. Hope Scotty learned a lot from both the camp and this fixture. Some really good individual performances in trying circumstances. I think also we learned a lot of who may now be surplus to requirements and am expecting a few departures in the next few weeks

[Woodleyclaret]

Seems Cadiz are the Spanish Luton same alehouse brawler style.
