Pinatar Arena in Murcia
No seven decades of Cardiff v Johor Darul Tazim, TOBW?
Are Johor Darul Tazim a team or just the one player?
Its a three bout fusion kick boxing bare knuckle fight with Johor vs Brian, Darul vs Barry and Ta'zim vs Murphy. Being streamed live on Kuala Rathkeel TV channel apparently!Quote:

Champions seven seasons in a row? Blimey. Should be reasonable opposition then.

who is playing left back?
Tsunoda?
mafico?
352 with Willock and Tanner wing backs?
Looks like it, 10 mins in.Quote:

Giles on.
Was really hoping Tsunoda could make an impact in preseason. He’s off injured after 23 mins.
Different season. Different league. Different manager. Different left back.
Same woeful defending.
Colwill just kicks him :hehe:
And no productive wing play.Quote:

0-0 half time. Early impressions, the BBM revolution has not reached the wingers yet when it comes to crossing - it’s been as disappointing as last season. Some nice examples of playing through the press, but only two real scares for the Malaysian team when Etete shot wide and their keeper made a good save from Willock. Up the other end, they hit the side netting in the first minute and Horvarth’s made a decent save with his legs. Think Kpakio and King have been impressive, but it’s been typical pre season friendly stuff in the main.
The ref (who is very card happy) brandished a red card after the whistle at the end of the first half. I think it was one of their players, but Etete was involved.. commentators didn’t seem to know what was going on.
Be disappointing if either team is down to ten.
Ah well, maybe 2026 thenQuote:

A lot of fight from Rubin Colwill there for the goal, hopefully he remembers to do that in League 1
Isaak Davies not involved at all?
Bloody hell. I was going to post earlier "wonder who'll get injured this evening", but I thought " no, don't be negative"...Quote:

2-1 and I'm very impressed with Dylan lawlor.
Indeed.Quote:

Red card for Salech.
What kind of preseason game is this?! Rough as hell.
He’s been getting a fair bit of attention from this team. They’ve been quite cynical to be fair… but he needs to get used to it though, ASAP. He’ll be getting plenty more in League 1.Quote:

Its one thing to play cynically in a league game, I'd imagine its particularly annoying to be getting that kind of attention in a friendly though.Quote:

Thought Fish should've dealt with the ball for their second. Bit of a mad game - maybe a new rivalry will form between us and them.
I suppose the way to look at that equaliser is to imagine what the reaction would be if we had conceded it in a league game we were 2-1 up in. We should have won that though as we had so many chances. Thought Lawlor, Ashford and Colwill were impressive in the second half and it was encouraging to see Wintle tracking back fifty yards in the closing minutes - I enjoyed our performance in the second half apart from some of the finishing.
