    Gough is gonna be a top player. Plays with a maturity beyond his years 👍
    Does he? Hesitant in the challenge again there and they break from it and he's bailed out by Ramsay's block

    This first 15 minutes is giving credence to the “heavy sessions before earlier games” theory as the fitness levels look totally different 
    I reached out to an old school friend of mine to confirm that theory who played for Charlton back in the day, albeit the reserves mostly.

    Said 75% of the pre season games involved substantial running in the morning

    I really like the look of Chalobah actually, looks tidy. 

    I tell you what though, the alarm is making me want to haymaker an innocent bystander. Never wanted to be able to hear Brownie more in my life.

    Chalobah is very calm on the ball, none of that nervous energy that Coventry tends to possess when on the ball

    I like the fact 'trialist' is already screaming at people for movement
