Pre-season
Well, the boys have been back in training for about two weeks and have started the round of friendly games that do so much to help match fitness.
It seems that anyone and everyone who is fit gets a run out at least for a few minutes. It also gives us fans a chance to see who isn't getting their chance and who is not playing and therefore obviously injured or up for sale.
Talal El Kakouri is one of those rumoured to be quite badly injured according to other websites, and will possibly not be fit until November.
Mark Fish, he of the free transfer that nobody wants, is another not getting much playing time so far.
Good to see Lloyd Sam getting at least two lots of 45 minutes so far, and Frannie Jeffers has put his beer down long enough to get a couple of goals today. I heard on the radio this morning that he (Frannie) owns a horse along with Ian Poulter (the golfer with the loud trousers) and someone else who's name I've forgotten. Poulter was asked if it was a flat or jumps horse, and he said "both!". It hasn't run yet but is costing a load in stable fees so is a bit of a dud - a bit like Frannie according to some...
