I really like this team @Fozzy but really not sure if Hunt is really deserving of his place here. I would have Ruben swapping with Hunt

So @Robbie mate, you are happy for McParland to be always offside then!!!

The issue here is really the lack of a B team, in terms of an old style competitive Central League ( for those older fans) Will Ryley be trusted enough to be worthy of a place on the bench?

Google translate In front of 2591 spectators (estimated ~150 guests from England) in the PCC Stadium in Homberg, MSV Duisburg won a friendly against Notts County 3-1. Both teams are based in their respective fourth divisions.

Google translate MSV Duisburg - Notts County; what sounds like a UEFA Cup match from the 70s was today a friendly between two fourth division teams. Around 150 Brits took advantage of the opportunity of a rare international tour, but were even more inferior in the acoustic duel than the players on the pitch.

Really I would have him back at Notts if providing cover for central midfield was an option?

@Blake even Richard Branson's Virgin cola found it tough commercially to succeed.

An out of town stadium, a fair walk from the bus stop...the pre match atmosphere was excellent, an engaging German PA and a sense of togetherness he brought. Dan Crowley played in front of back 3, as an orchestrator ...but the linkage to rest of midfield and up front was really missing. Having said that Notts controlled the game til the 80th minute. Perhaps the ref was conned.. an excellent 2nd goal from MSV Duisburg, their 3rd disappointed in Notts defending Notts substitutions just emphasised the gulf between youth and 1st team ready. Duisburg stepped up a gear and you see that the positional sense of the youngsters is exposed. Ryley Reynolds looked promising but he did find pockets of space only for the passes to him seemed to be ignored Didzy missed a great chance when Jodi put a perfect cross in. Macca would have buried it It was extremely hot afternoon... fitness yes but important not to pick up injuries Rumours that Jatta didnt travel re visa issues???

I really enjoy with the respect and passion @ARLukomski displays Notts coverage would be so much poorer without @ARLukomski input

I was worried that Waffle wasnt going to work in Germany and would have fallen back to zero!

I will write more at the airport tonight

translation Duisburg. Regional league football team MSV Duisburg wins the last test match before the start of the season 3:1. Red for assistant coach Marvin Höner. Regional league football team MSV Duisburg saved the dress rehearsal before the start of the season in the final act. The Zebras turned their last test match against the English fourth division team Notts County FC in the final phase on Saturday. In front of 2591 spectators, including around 200 away fans, in the Homberger PCC Stadium, MSV defeated the British team 3:1 (0:1). Jonas Michelbrink was out at MSV Duisburg at short notice with an infection. The midfielder will also be absent from the official "Media Day" of the Regional League on Monday. Jannik Zahmel and Joshua Bitter were also out due to injury. Luis Hartwig, who MSV presented as a new signing on Thursday, was in the starting eleven. Max Braune was in goal, which means he has secured his place as the first-choice goalkeeper for the time being. MSV, who played in a 4-3-3 system, had their first chance in the second minute through Jakob Bookjans, who ran alone towards the goal but was stopped by goalkeeper Sam Slocombe. In the twelfth minute, Gerrit Wegkamp put the ball wide of the goal from 17 meters. Two minutes later, the guests from Nottingham were celebrating. The Zebras had to accept a set piece goal. Matthew Platt scored from a free kick to make it 0-1. Duisburg's defense was poorly organized here. more on the subject Everything about MSV Duisburg Duisburg had more possession, the robust guests defended consistently and only allowed the Zebras a few shots on goal. While Meiderich struggled to play forward, Notts County restricted themselves to defence and the guests' attacking efforts were severely limited. But the half-time whistle did not bring peace. MSV assistant coach Marvin Höner evidently needed to speak to referee Jonah Besong. Höner was clearly lacking in the English manner. Besong immediately showed the red card. In the second half, MSV brought on Jan-Simon Symalla for Luis Hartwig and Malek Fakhro for Gerrit Wegkamp. It was a tough affair. In between, the MSV fans sang songs to get some atmosphere going in the stands. On the pitch, the Duisburg team found it hard to break through the Magpies' three-man defense. In the 62nd minute, Steffen Meuer had a shot on goal, but he put the ball high over the goal from 15 meters. MSV Duisburg: Equaliser via penalty Dietmar Hirsch made five substitutions in the 70th minute. New signing Jesse Tugbenyo, who had been signed shortly before kick-off, also came on. After a foul on Jan-Simon Symalla, referee Jonah Besong pointed to the penalty spot. Franko Uzelac converted safely in the 79th minute to make it 1-1. Two minutes later, the game was turned around. Symalla volleyed in a cross from Jihad Boutakhrit to make it 2-1. Things got even better from Duisburg's perspective. In the 87th minute, Malek Fakhro put the final goal on the scoreboard with a goal to make it 3-1. A minute later, Jakob Bookjans hit the post. MSV: Braune – Müller (70. Montag), Fleckstein, Hahn (70. Uzelac), Coskun (70. Göckan) – Sussek, Egerer, (70. Tugbenyo) Hartwig (46. Symalla) – Meuer (70. Boutakhrit), Wegkamp (46. Fakhro), Bookjans.
