Maybe. But also Waggy, Holmes, Rooney, wisdom yet to feature? And Lawrence of course, perhaps still injured. 

I was wrong, it was Solomon rather than Caprani. Looks like of the lot you listed, only Rooney is there, presumably for coaching rather than to play. I think Marshall was spotted at the game too but Waggy, Holmes, Lawrence and Wisdom don't seem to be there.

Paid £5 to listen to a scotsman swear at a referee and constantly lament his own players inability to play football. Money well spent.

Decent first pre-season game, especially with how many young lads we gave time to. 13 of the 24 players used were under the age of 21 and a few of the others aren't much older.

First half went as you'd expect with the team put out, the defence was decent playing out from the back but with no actual centre back starting Peterborough caused us a few problems. We looked decent going forward with Sibley the stand out, but Bennett would often disrupt the attack with his atrocious passing. Marriott missed a chance he probably should have scored but looked much better than he did the last time we saw him play.

Second half started really well and we looked really dangerous going forward. Jozefzoon linked up well with the young attackers and Ebosele was a big threat when he pushed up. Big Mike and Davies didn't really have much to do but one thing of note was that Mike was yelling instructions to everyone (Davies) included, which was good to see during his first game.

I really enjoyed Knight's performance - playing in the middle of the park for a change. Breaking up play. Driving runs from deep.

Hopefully we get the winger position sorted, and he gets to have some first team appearances in that position this season.
