Bentley Towler / Klose / Araoye Tanner / Scott / Massengo / Dasilva Bell Conway / Wells

Shape:

It’s why I have him as top scorer this season….2 pens in pre-season already!

Half time 0-0….seems like we gave a good account of ourselves. Both sides near full-strength bar one or two.

Moose finally finding his vocation as a cameraman….my friend!

And big hair. Did well once he got the pace if the game v Exeter on Tuesday.

A lull in the game?

Succession planning for Lloyd Kelly?

Sykes with it off the line

Bournemouth lining up as: Travers Mepham / Lerma / Hill (matty’s son) Smith / Cook / Billing / Zemura Christie / Rothwell Solanke

Their stadium is about as tall as Jay Dasilva, so maybe not too bad in hindsight ???

Hoping City do a decent highlights package post-match. Tinpot -spot on.

They’ve partnered each other several time in pre-season already, or are you saying you’ve just not seen the games??? Looks that way doesn’t it. Chill everyone….the aim of pre-season is to be in the best shape for Hull C in 7 days time…not Bournemouth today!

There is an in-house game next week…behind closed doors obviously….Pre-season being executed to plan, and also not giving away next week’s line-up.

Got a load of kicks from Key and Caprice on Tuesday…nothing serious, just resting a minor knock.

Nah, he’s keep Klose on the bench to use his experience with Towler and Wood should the back 3 be changed in the second half. Just like against Exeter.

Cousin of the brilliant NZ and Somerset player Martin Crowe (and Jeff Crowe). When asked if he was into cricket like his cousins, he said he was, and that he was decent but unlike the Chappell brothers for Oz he didn’t want to be remembered as the crap one, Trevor!!! ?

My personal opinion is that he best affects play in the final third from central midfield, not as a AM/10. In modern football parlance, he is an “8”, he’s Josh Brownhill in his middle seasons here, but better with it technically (although Josh improves this part massively). I feel he’s wasted as a 10, I want him to get in the ball as much as possible. Don’t get me wrong he’d still be good in there, but I feel he’s more influential starting in a conventional CM role. We saw that in the Euros this summer too. …who knows, we might even see him play RWB, especially if Wilson needs to cover LWB with Pring out (who could be back today???) I think it was apparent why Wilson has had minutes at LWB in pre-season. The make up of our 7 subs might only allow one WB (FB), so with Wilson able to play either side, might mean we can be more flexible with our bench options. Although if Pring is fit, he can cover LCB too…although I feel the more defensive his role is, the less it suits him.
