In what way?

I don't know much of this bloke, other than what's been said out there - he's been consistently talked up as one of the best GK prospects in Sweden, is a good age (26 still young for a keeper, arguably not peaked yet).

Is it simply that you just don't trust Warne?

Is he doing the stats as well then? 

Here's what was known about Poom.

Loving all these comments from posters who also have no idea who this bloke is unless of course they follow him on Insta! 😄

Had you heard of Mart Poom, Igor Stimac or Paolo Wanchope before we signed them?  I certainly hadn’t, and they all seemed to turn out alright…

We had a different set up then. What do you know of this bloke? 

Is it so wrong to ask? 😄

Is this a serious comment or just WUM'ing? 

What has he done to justify the price as opposed to what we knew of Wildsmith (and Vickers - who Warne chose)?

There's no evidence that Wildsmith wanted to stay with us, even if we'd have chucked more at him. If he wanted to move on, fine, good for him. He seems to have landed on his feet.

There's no evidence he didn't at the right terms? There's plenty of keepers out there is the bloke we're looking at signing costing us by the inch?!

Never heard of him, and we're paying how much? What makes this keeper better than any other 6' 6" keeper, he's never played English football and he's 26?

Not sure what it states exactly or if we are even mentioned but I'll put this here anyway

Yeah, I don't know why I bother.

Neither do I, you seem a bit obsessed. 😄

Oh dear.

Well, you said "it was Denmark, not the Dutch" (who reported her) but as your post above confirmed, the Danes didn't report her, they just had a similar incident which the whistleblower heard about and realised they'd witnessed Dujardin also mistreating a horse. As the lawyer who raised the issue was Dutch, I thought it was reasonable to assume that the whistleblower was from the Netherlands (Dujardin trained horses and riders from outside the UK too).

Well you said:

Uncanny timing though from the Dutch, what with the Olympics being a week away.

I quite like it.

Kids like it too.

Without the tyre marks it would be dull dull dull - like the first kit.

I don't mind it. Just wondered about the shorts. Looks better on better quality images too.

What's with the bits on the shorts?

I think you've misread the report you posted. It seems like the reporting of the Danish rider for a similar training incident that was videod prompted the person who had the Dujardin video to engage a Dutch lawyer to report it. I couldn't see any suggestion that the Dujardin whistleblower was Danish?

The UK whistleblower saw the Danish report and although previously had been worried about being the negative repercussions of being a 'whistleblower' then decided that it was now or never to report Dujardin. What have I misread?

Look at Chelsea last season, pochettino is known for his demanding level of fitness due to his playing style and look how they started and finished.

 

And they won?

I know there is only 2 weeks to go. I agree that a team formation needs to be settled.  Problem we have is we needed too many new players all at once, and we haven't finished yet.  Finding those partnerships that click won't be easy or quick I am afraid. 

As GhostofClough said we should be playing to a formation and filling the gaps with Academy players. How is playing CBT at LWB helping him or the team? Why haven't we the spine of the team already, or have we? No-one knows, does Warne. 😄

Just now, BathRam72 said:

To be fair.  Once again we have played 2 full teams pretty much. I will judge after the starting 11 have had a few games together.  Far too early to make judgement 

There's only two weeks to go.

So two 'first teams' played, neither put on a display? Why not start to settle the side/formation?

Just now, Mr Ramtastic said:

My concerns;

Individually and collectively both Chesterfield and Shrewsbury have looked better than us

There is no real evolving pattern of play with only 2 pre season games left

We have conceded 6 goals in the last games last season defence was our strength

We have barely created a single clear cut chance from open play 

There is no fluidity to our play it all looks disjointed and sporadic. It is not easy to suddenly up your game when the season starts if you haven’t got into good habits in preseason 

Yes, yes. But other than that there's nothing else? 😄

Blimey it’s a preseason friendly… Warne and Barker have even said they’re not looking at tactical stuff until the next game. Calm down. 

For real? 

Shouldn't the tactics be known before you buy in more players?

That pepe frog is not something associated with cuteness its associated with really edgy right wing stuff and pretty deranged things.

Oh. It's another world. I've done edgy in my youff and it wasn't a smiley frog. I looked and saw a few posts and thought 'silly/cute'. So didn't work for me then, champagne socialist here. 😄

Just read the wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepe_the_Frog think I'd read some of the alt-right stuff ages ago, but my brain hasn't as much long term retention as it used. 

Started as sort of 'cute':

That's what they just said on Radio Derby. Seems a strange role for Barks. And is CBT really a wingback? But I guess experimentation is what preseason is for. 

2nd half NML for Barks and Tommo for CBT?
