More excited to watch that team (on RamsTV admittedly) than the one who started against Burton.

Just because there are a lot of players there I'd like to see play good minutes at a decent level, a lot of experience players I've not seen a while - and it's just pre-season so seeing our more "standard" 'first-team' players isn't that critical to me, especially with another friendly to go.

Pretty much reserves out/ players back from injury. Surprised to see Dowell in.

Also no Roos which is interesting. Marriott and Thorne struggling then.

Dowell probably in for game time. 

Roos I don't find surprising I think this is largely a 2nd team and Roos is currently looks like #1. 

What I think is interesting is Knight and/or Sibley not starting which might suggest they are close to the first 11.

First XI: Mitchell, Bateman, Davies, Buchanan, Lowe, Dowell, Bird, Sibley, Whittaker, Martin/Marriott, Anya
Subs used: Roos, Bogle, Keogh, Evans, Malone, Knight, Huddlestone, Shinnie, Jozefzoon, Waghorn/Martin/ Marriott, Lawrence

Not far off... Shinnie for Sibley, Ravas on the bench for Roos, and still no Marriott. 

It’s a shame Sibley missed out on the USA trip, as he’s missed out on a lot of minutes as a result. Not helped with needing to get the more experienced players enough match practice first. It’s a long season so he’s bound to get a real chance at some point.

Needs match practice. He’s only had 72 minutes in preseason so far

Doubt Cocu or Roos would gain anything from him playing 10 minutes at the end of this game. Better to give a youth a few minutes instead.

Huddlestone is the only CM to have played more minutes than Knight so far. Both he and Sibley probably miss out on the first 11 today due to Dowell and Shinnie needing more minutes under their belts.

Yeah, you are probably right. Will be interesting to see how it plays out though.

Off to the Merlin in 5 mins, for a few beers then off to the match, come on lads let's show Cocu what great supporters we are, hope to see at least 10000 there, can not wait to see football back.

It’ll be 30 minutes of football punctuated by 60 minutes of 5 minutes “sports juice replenishment” breaks. I’m just looking forward to seeing Chris Martin slurping a bottle of “energy juice” whilst masticating his ever-lasting chewing gum. Class chewing from the number 9. ?

Yeah I guess. I meant Roos not being in the squad at all, injured? 

Dont think it’s the case on the latter point, he’ll be getting Shinnie fit
