What a specific thing to be the only thing to know about.

[Bogratsteve]

Only because he posted it on twitter lol

[Sidarlo]

no mention of it in the echo today, and as said above only Portas has mentioned it twitter wise.

Could easily have been our youth's with trailists and a couple of first team players thrown in

[super_les_mcjannet]

Full team by all accounts from what I heard.

[MikeinBlack2]

Was played behind closed doors apparently

Did Portas tell you?

[super_les_mcjannet]

Haha, no someone on Twitter who managed to see the match.

Basically same players that have been playing recently.

Team by all accounts was - Bell, Walker, Hunter, Brown, Galbraith, J Armstrong, Mitchell, Portas, Thompson, Purewal and Hatch.

Hopson came on as sub but not sure about any other changes, Boro youth were excellent.

We played 4-3-3 formation.

[Spyman]

Are they brothers?

[Bogratsteve]

Identical triplets I understand, one slightly better than the other two

[lo36789]

Always though a Purwall would be a brick structure occupied by cats.

Slightly surprised to see Craig Lynch's name there. In any other season I though he would be a player we'd be in for (especially after Gateshead said no) but Gray can't seriously be looking at another striker?

If he's better than what we've got why not?.One in,one,or maybe two,out.

[Darlofan97]

Lynch can play right wing. He also played on the left for Hartlepool however apparently that is not his natural position.

[Darlofan97]

Speaking of right wingers, I see Willie Gibson has left Celtic Nation and needs a club....

[AndyPark]

I said this on another thread, but surely he'll be after a fair wedge?!

[lo36789]

Will we actually play with wingers? If we managed to get Gibson he could just end up the same as Chris Moore and left out because of our formation.

If Mitchell stays then yes I think we will
