Ha ha, yes indeed!
Franny's plan to lure them into this false sense of security was pretty good I thought, though I suspect that after a point it, well maybe, becomes a bit self defeating. Cas played well, there's no getting away from that, but we didn't really give them anything to beat and some of our attempts to tackle were just laughable at times.
To be fair, I'll forgive the lack of penetration, given we never got any 'go forward' in the entire match it's hard to bag the creative players for not coming up with the goods.
One thing is pretty certain though, and that is that the pre-season game has nothing relevant to say about how the league game will go - and I'm certain that Powell isn't daft enough to think it has.
