If Ernie is going to say this after a game, questions should be asked about whether its worth playing a friendly 3 days before a competitive fixture. These FFA Cup games should have been the focus of the preseason games because they mean something, and it was a good chance to get a proper hit out to see where the team is at.

Last season we played a lot of pre-season games under fatigue and that kind of preparation. Ernie may have done this deliberately?

I only watched the second half, but Blake and DiMario looked quite reasonable I thought, though I wouldn't want them as starting players.

We've also got Fenton, Moss, Rodriguez, Sarpong, Appiah, Powell and Doyle to come into that mix there. That changes the team a lot, and you suspect there should be a signing or two yet as well. 

First hit out, not bovvered. Be nice to beat West Ham, but yeh...
