Aston Villa (H) 24th July, 7.45pm

The difference in class is there for all to see. Premier League to League 2 is a big jump but we’ve not made it any easier for ourselves.

Good to see Roberts distribution has improved - one goal kick went down the tunnel.

Rose is warming up with Taylor. Looks like he’ll have the second 45.

Yes if we had just spent £100 million on players I would be worried.
There won’t be too many sides in league 2 with that kind of cash to splash.

I appreciate they’re Premiership but jeez that was painful.
We literally cannot / do not pass to each other!

All together now, In DC we trust!!!

So far M6 looked good (that’s the motorway near stadium, right) and that white shirt obstructing camera’s view. Rest is irrelevant. They are better, but they won’t play in League Two next season. So they can be better in this game.

Hope to see Rose come on for the 2nd half. Roberts had a mare. Too slow to react to danger, too slow to get down.

They didn’t rack up a cricket score against Shrewsbury

I’d start Rose, Bates and Ferrier in the 2nd half

DC needs to see what Ferrier can or cannot do on the pitch in a proper game , and then make the decision one way or another

I don’t think DC wants anything to do with a player who doesn’t want to be here.

Has he had a change of heart and now wants to stay?

Maybe Ferrier is staying after all. Still has contract here and maybe offers he got were not that good for him or club. Time will tell.

1-5 on 58 minutes …

Bates and Hardy brought on.

this is a tough watch. We still have zero creativity.

I get that it’s a Premier League side so don’t want to be too critical but there is no creativity, and that was the same in each of the last pre-season games. Bit of a concern, need a couple in asap.

Hardly surprising, Villa have spent 90 + million, we haven’t spent 1% of that.

Absolutely zero positives to come out this game. It could be damaging to the confidence of the team if anything… morgan ferrier does not look interested at all
