Supersonic Robin Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 9 minutes ago, westonred said: He certainly doesnt look Championship ready yet i was wondering if they've got him for the future and will be in the reserves/U21's a lot this season. If so we need to bring another championship ready Striker in now I'd be very surprised if we spent a 7 figure fee on a player who we don't expect to be in and around the starting XI this season. Rightly or wrongly, I think we were probably expecting Mayulu to be our "first choice" number 9 this season (or at the very least share that role with Armstrong). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin_unreliant Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Mayulu is a big lad. Body language is a bit sulky, not sure if he's unhappy or just his natural demeanour. He certainly isn't a Kodjia type player but BT did say they were looking for a more physical type. Will take a while to get an idea of what he'll offer.

kidjupiter Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Feels like Mayulu's been isolated in this game. Getting next to no service, missed a sitter and trying a little too hard to make amends.

Gert Mare Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Deserved that. Second half much more lively. Standouts Nelson, TGH, Cornick for me.

Jerseybean Posted July 27 Author Share Posted July 27 More minutes in legs, noticeable points from me include: Campbell-Slowey looked very much at home Fally certainly will need time to get up to speed Absolutely brilliant to see Ayman get 20 minutes Nelson was a real handful when he came on Delighted for Corns to notch a couple Naismith and Vyner looked at it Gardner-Hickman had a very solid 90 minutes All the usual caveats about friendlies, perhaps the most important thing is it did not appear that anyone got injured for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythikRobins Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 (edited) Stokes so much better as the game went on. Some really top intelligent pressing you'd maybe not expect from a player so young. Nelson had two league 1 standard full-backs/wingbacks on absolute strings, if he can keep that up he could definitely feature from the bench in the first-team. Or maybe a good loan is on the cards for him? Edited July 27 by MythikRobins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, this felt like a much weaker team. Vyner and McCrorie probably the obvious 2 who could get into the team from last night. Williams and Mayulu are the other logical suggestions, but both looked a little rusty at times today. TGH's performance today makes him worthy of consideration, but still probably behind Knight and Bird in the pecking order.
