Blimey - that was a whoppa !

I'm glad he didn't use too many subs - it gave the game a much more competitive feel - but 2-3 in the second half wouldn't have done any harm.

I'm struggling to see how we fit McDonald, Coady & Wallace into midfield and still play two up front. I don't see how it would work in a 4-4-2 unless Wallace is used wide right which doesn't solve the wide left problem so if we are going to squeeze them all in it is going to take a bit of tinkering. Oh well still plenty of time 'til the season starts.

Yeah dunno tats.

Assuming for a minute Wallace is as good as he is tipped to be, this for me would be our strongest four midfielders.

..........price
...kmac....coady
.........Wallace

A narrow diamond, or a very narrow diamond to some

But I guess we can still expect a left sider to come in yet, but even then it leaves plenty of questions as to who fits where.

From everything I have heard of Wallace I am expecting good things, I hope conservative Kenny doesn't waste him.

Zele gone to Burton on loan until January. Getting close to last chance saloon for him now and he needs to be outstanding at that level if he is to make the grade with us.

And Andy Keogh has signed for Ratchiburi in Thailand!

Anyone remember David moli from the u21s?

Now plying his trade for the Maldives champions.

I think we're more likely to see Jed operating off one of the wings this season. Most likely the right, where I think he played a lot for Pompey. This would also help explain why Jackett seemed a bit tentative about Henry's future at the club before Wallace's injury worsened?

Does anyone know what has happened to Conor Hunte? At the end of last season he seemed to be next on the blocks,along with Graham, in terms of stepping up from u21s. But didn't go to France and wasn't in either squad last night. Has he appeared at all in preseason?

Be interesting to see what Kenny does with Wallace that's for sure, apparently a gifted individual with great vision who could do well centrally.

I guess ideally coady would be the deep player with Wallace, kmac and whoever we can sign for the left would work best at the moment?

Wallace has done well in League Two and this is a big step up for him. I hope he does well but I think it's unfair to put great expectations on him before he has even played one game. After all Saville came to us having done very well at a level higher than Wallace. Even if he is a good player I don't expect Wallace to be a regular starter for a while even after he is fit

Speaking of Saville, where is he?

Hasn't featured in recent weeks at all has he?

And yeah, it is gonna take some time for Wallace now, the step up was one thing, and now injury to go with it leaving him weeks behind the others.

Hoping Coady can be real box to box all action rather than sitting midfielder. Early signs are good.

Can't see Kenny playing without one though lizard.
