I was at a do last night and a mate introduced me to Richard Stearman. What a lovely guy, he was really friendly and we chatted for 10-15 minutes and he had a photo with my lad. Some of the things he said:
The players were shocked about Rooney leaving and still don’t know why he’s gone.
He doesn’t see McGoldrick as a number 9, says he’s most effective attacking from wide. Said we definitely need to bring in a number 9.
The players we’ve just signed all had offers to play for more money at a higher level. They all really want to be here.
I really got the the impression that they’re all excited about this season.
I do have to caveat the above though. You see…
 

I'm interested to know who kept Mendez-Laing out of Weds' side last season.  He looks like he's gonna be a proper handful if he stays fit.  After 10 minutes you could tell he'll give us an actual cutting edge to attacks.  So refreshing to see a winger have a proper go at their marker instead of checking back and waiting for an overlap from the right back.  Also nice to see our midfielders putting balls in behind fullbacks instead of into feet, so the wingers have to go from a standing start.
Only got to see the first half but bar the odd sloppy pass we looking pretty sharp.

In the words of Mason Bennett:
"f****** Byrne."

I had a great time today in the sunshine at Bradford.
Little bit surprised to come back to another poster slagging off young players on here.
Such a shame after the wonderful atmosphere at the game! 
I suppose it's a consolation that at least you're not there barracking the players.

Decent work out today, some very positive signs and just lovely to be watching Derby again. Wish I could have been there but thanks to Rams TV for the coverage. Marvellous.

Better than Rebekah Vardy, she had a shocking defence

Good workout for everyone, with expected sloppiness from time to time. One very impressive save from Wildsmith after Bird lost possession in the middle. Near the end Captain Curtis gave the ball away with Wildsmith in no man's land. Should have been the equalizer but Bradford's Jamie Walker chipped it onto the roof of the net.
Nice to see Fozzy bag a goal. Sibley had come short, collected the ball, turned inside and tried to find Barkhuizen in the box but a defender deflected the ball wider and Fozzy leathered it in from wide in the penalty area.
Sibley has run valiantly as centre forward, and linked play well, and they've praised him a lit on the commentary and said how involved he's been in the game, but I'd say he is far more dangerous and effective as a midfielder.
Both wingers are good outlets. We're passing the ball around and keeping possession, but prepared to go long to the wings quite often and we have a powerful midfield in Bird and Knight. Thommo not so visible, but came into it more as the half went on. One great thidding tackle from Cashin after Thommo had lost possession. Ex Man City young full back has been steady and wants the ball. Could be good. 
Let's see what the second half team does.

We all know that a win in the first preseason friendly means promotion certain by Xmas ????????

Proper pace and strength from NML, he’s had a superb half.

I hope we get fozzy on a new contract. he's been with us since the end of the 12/13 season. almost a decade. 

Give that man a contract now!

NML has been outstanding first half.
