How was Yan Couto ?

Did he play well ?

Thought he looked decent going forward not too sure defensively - so could fit in nicely!!

Couple of times when attacks he initiated broke down there was a bit of shrugging and muttering in the direction of team mates so either hyper competitive or a bit of an arse (or both of course).

Pep sounded peeved of and bit worried about the games coming up with the players who we missing! Not really bothered about the cup midweek but Leeds game going to be so tough and we can not drop anymore points at this point!

Surely by Leeds the only player missing will be Alvarez?

The young Algerian on the wing seemed to be coasting through the game.

In fairness I thought the whippet like north African looked less unhappy with the weather than the Nordic meatshield! Maybe he was brought up in the Atlas mountains? Anyway he's getting a bit of credit from me for staying out there the full duration.

It was a fine example set by the senior players of how to apply themselves even if it was a friendly.

Kev was superb. Any of those younger players watching or playing alongside got to see first hand, what is the bar setting no matter who the opposition are.

Thought Rico Lewis was the pick of the youngsters.

I said a while back about palmer not looking good enough, I think his off field antics don't help him

What antics? These types of rumours have been made up about previous youth players and rarely turn out to be true. Not heard anything

And a bowl of winter vegetable soup with a roll for £2, bargain

I got the mince pie, mash & gravy.

Wish I would have noticed the rolls.

I have messaged Ric, then he can say

Second half wasn’t up to much as a spectacle but the game definitely petered out when Kev got subbed

I hope he doesn't and wish he'd kept it to himself in the first place. It's hard enough to make it from the reserves to the first team without people spouting shit about them on the Internet. Even if its true.
