Visiting teams to Blackpool normally stay at the Village hotel out near Stanley Park/ the zoo.

Lots of individuals in that team who will be hoping for some first team football this season. Good opportunity for them today and last one of the pre season.

Really hoping Melkerson can get in the scoresheet, for his own confidence as much as anything else.

I would like to see Zaid get some minutes too.

Looks like essentially a B team, apart from Boyle, but giving them the chance to stake a claim as a few her will have ambitions to be regular starters.

I like the team, but worry about Boyle. The worry is just because I don’t know where he is and it could be fine.

He's hopefully going to be a player, we might see him getting a chance in the first team this season. Still young though.

He’s just turned 17. Motherwell are playing a 16 year old today, Lennon Miller, so we should be able to play a 17 year old

This far my take is Wallacott looks decent with the ball at his feet. McCallister is ready for 1st team football, Boyle looks rusty but sharp, Harbottle looks decent. On the negative MacIntrye is toiling and they are targeting him and Melkerson is yet again miles off it.

Just had a look on their fan forum & am none the wiser.

Comments like “ Not convinced this gives that great an indication of our ‘starting XI’. In fact I’m not so sure we’ll have a starting XI this season. Critchley will trust every member of his squad to perform the role they’re assigned. This XI will be determined by the sports science and the need to play a certain way against a certain threat / weakness etc. Could be a whole different set up next Saturday and I’d not be surprised in the slightest.” Don’t give much away apart from having ideas above their station 😁

Don't get me wrong, it's fair enough to have a go when our support misbehaves .... but when the folk in question have went to the effort to travel all the way to Andorra and to Blackpool for a friendly where they knew it wouldn't even be the full team on the park I highly doubt the tag 'so called fans' can be applied to any of them.

Good to hear Boyle got some time and Harbottle who can defend high balls, they have upped the experience players now so the young team have still done pretty well for most of the first 60 mins or so.

It was a team largely comprised of 12 year olds. A couple looked close to 1st team ready, the majority looked a fair bit away. MacKay and Melkerson both showed why they are consistently overlooked. Neither will play a big role this season, or any other for that matter.

I know they’re footballers but I’m sure they’ve got some standards

Not sure I see the point in playing this game between the two euro ties.

Was it billed as a first-team game? Sounds like a big support went down to watch what looks like mostly a youth team.

Walking distance from the stadium, no bus journey or propellered aircraft required.

Its land of the bloody giants in the EFL mate ... whenever you see a championship or league 1 team they might have a couple under 6 feet, but invariably the rest are muckle big folk :greengrin

The one to get stroppy about was the European result, not some piss ant friendly with a bunch of kids and squad players.

Correct. The only value to that fixture was to give a load of Hibs fans a jolly in the Las Vegas o' the north, Martin Boyle his first 45 minutes in aboot 9 months and to see how a bunch of largely untested youngsters could compete against the horrible brutes league 1 sides usually stuff their teams with.

Back to proper fitba on Thursday .... where there will be no room for levity of any sort should we fall short :confused:

Literally nothing to be taken from that.

It was a team largely comprised of 12 year olds. A couple looked close to 1st team ready, the majority looked a fair bit away. MacKay and Melkerson both showed why they are consistently overlooked. Neither will play a big role this season, or any other for that matter.

A good day out with the football as a sideshow is how I'll remember this one.

:agree:

I'm not too upset at the score and I think the young guys actually competed quite well, until about the last ten minutes when they appeared to run out of steam.
