Indeed, the former Pats man played the full 90:

Gavin Bazunu not in Southampton's squad against Klagenfurt. Will Smallbone plated the first half:https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2...riendly-202223

Troy Parrott got some more game time against Sevilla, replacing Kane on 72 minutes. Doherty played the second half: https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/new...port-in-korea/

Conor McCarthy and Luca Connell played the full 90 in Barnsley's scoreless draw with Forest. William Hondermarck was a second-half sub: https://www.barnsleyfc.co.uk/news/20...forest-report/

[Eirambler]

Barnsley fans seem impressed with Connell. Though I remember Celtic fans being the same after a pre season match a couple of years ago and he didn't play another game for them after that. Hopefully he can kick on this time.

Crystal Palace playing Man United in Australia this morning, Phillips starting, O'Brien and Adaramola on the bench

Saw Conor Noss scored for Monchengladbach a few days ago

Crystal Palace playing Man United in Australia this morning, Phillips starting, O'Brien and Adaramola on the bench

Good chance for Phillips to impress with Palace having to leave so many senior players behind because of vaccination rules. Might even help get him a decent loan move.

[samhaydenjr]

This Phillips lad seems to be making good progress, playing the first 65 minutes. Adasamola and O'Brien did come on as second-half subs: https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/match-re...cg/2022-07-19/

Two goals in the end for Georgie Kelly against Doncaster, with the assist on both occasions coming from Peter Kioso: https://www.themillers.co.uk/news/20...r-v-rotherham/
Mark Sykes on the scoresheet for Bristol City against Forest Green: https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/report-b...-green-rovers/

Jeff Hendrick on target again for Reading, this time against AFC Wimbledon: https://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/202...eading-report/

Calum Kavanagh was a second-half sub for Middlesbrough against Morecambe: https://www.mfc.co.uk/news/match-rep...cambe-0-boro-3

Great to see Adam Idah back - played the first half for Norwich against Cambridge; Omobamidele came on for the second: https://www.canaries.co.uk/content/c...d-match-report

Gavin Kilkenny played the full hour for Stoke in their defeat to Bristol Rovers: https://www.stokecityfc.com/news/202.../match-report/

I think you've read the same goal twice there. He only got the second goal. Odoffin got the first

[tetsujin1979]

Harvey Neville was a second half substitute for Inter Miami against Barcelona last night

[Eirambler]

Nothing like a bit of nepotism to ensure a run out when Barca are in town.

So I did - in my defense, it's VERY hot here in Toronto

Anyway, Nathan Collins made his debut for Wolves, coming on at the hour mark against Alaves. Joe Hodge also got some minutes, while Connor Ronan was an unused sub: https://www.wolves.co.uk/news/mens-f...es-4-0-alaves/

Alan Browne was on the scoresheet for Preston against Hearts - Brady and Cunningham also played: https://www.pnefc.net/news/2022/july...th-end-hearts/

Loads of Irish interest in QPR's 8-2 victory over Wealdstone. Olamide Shodipo and potential switcher Jake Clarke-Salter played in the first-half - Shodipo had a shot saved that led to one goal and won a penalty for another one. Jimmy Dunne, Conor Masterson and, most encouragingly, Sinclair Armstrong came on for the second half and received plaudits for his performance: setting up a goal with his first chance on the ball, nearly scoring with an audacious chip from thirty yards and putting in a challenge that brought "oohs" from the fans - definitely one to watch: https://www.qpr.co.uk/fixtures/first...pr/?tab=report

[samhaydenjr]

Moving down to League One, Hourihane, Cashin, James Collins and Knight all featured for Derby in their defeat to Stevenage: https://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/2022/07/...unty-july-2022

James McCarthy and Bosun Lawal were second-half subs for Celtic against Legia Warsaw: https://www.celticfc.com/news/2022/j...o-artur-boruc/

Armstrong is a very interesting prospect and has an interesting season ahead of him. The natural thing would be a League Two loan, maybe a League One loan. He did well on both his loans (Aldershot and Torquay), even though he had an injury sandwiched between both loans. He got a couple of goals at each and the managers both spoke well of him. Torquay were keen to take him back but QPR wanted him around their squad at the turn of the year. Then after his injury, he went out to Aldershot and I read a while back that he was training with them and not Aldershot.

As I said, the natural thing is a League One or Two loan but you never know. He's a big lad - some set of shoulders on him - and he's got a few senior goals under the belt. Let's see.

[Eirambler]

QPR supporters have been talking about him as a genuine prospect for first team minutes this coming season. But I think they have a strong chance of getting Parrott in on loan (as that means he stays in London with his family) and then Armstrong might be loaned out.

I've been a big masterson fan for years and having Beale as manager who will know him well from his Liverpool youth days will hopefully give him the best chance of achieving his best career

[Yard of Pace]

Danny Grant playing and scoring Huddersfield's 4th goal today. Great to see. He's had such a rough time with injury the fact he's come back at all and the character that has shown....he has a lot of fans excited about what he can (hopefully) do.

[samhaydenjr]

Last weekend before The Championship starts and second -last before The premier League so a big round-up today:

We'll start in Italy - I got to watch Festy Ebosele play 30 minutes for Udinese against Bayer Leverkusen - for twenty minutes he was anonymous, to the point of looking lost, then his team-mates gave him a chance to run at Leverkusen and he tormented their left-back, winning a penalty and almost setting up an equaliser

Back in the UK, Evan Ferguson and Shane got thirty minutes in a recent friendly for Brighton against Estoril: https://www.brightonandhovealbion.co...-over-estoril/

Dunne, Shodipo and Armstrong were all second-half subs in QPR's 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace: https://www.qpr.co.uk/fixtures/first...ce/?tab=report

Clean sheet for Gavin Bazunu in Southampton's draw with Watford: https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2...y-23-july-2022

Conor Coventry came off the bench In West Ham's 1-1 draw with Luton. Randolph and Okoflex stayed on that bench: https://www.whufc.com/news/soucek-sc...son-draw-luton

This is odd - if the line-ups on this report of Wolves' recent defeat to Levante are accurate, Connor Ronan started, came off at half-time, then came back on ninetenn minutes into the second half and set up their goal from a corner. Joe Hodge came on for the second half: https://www.wolves.co.uk/news/mens-f...s-1-2-levante/ - both of them were late subs in today's victory over Besiktas: https://www.wolves.co.uk/news/mens-f...-3-0-besiktas/

Omobamidele played the full game in Norwich's 2-0 defeat to Celtic. Idah came on late, as did McCarthy for The Bhoys: https://www.canaries.co.uk/content/m...-celtic-v-city

Robbie Brady and Alan Browne both played the full 90 for Preston against Leicester: https://www.pnefc.net/news/2022/july...eicester-city/

Georgie Kelly scored yet again for Rotherham (his fifth of pre-season) https://www.themillers.co.uk/news/20...e-v-rotherham/

Enda Stevens scored last night for Sheffield United against Burton Albion. Leo Gaxha was an unused sub: https://www.sufc.co.uk/news/2022/jul...blades-report/

Gavin Kilkenny started for Stoke against Hearts and was replaced on 60 minutes by Will Smallbone: https://www.stokecityfc.com/news/202...hearts-defeat/

Ryan Manning Came on as a sub for Swansea against Charlton and scored. Obafemi played 81 minutes: https://www.swanseacity.com/news/rep...ansea-city-2-0

Jayson Molumby almost scored for West Brom against Hertha Berlin: https://www.wba.co.uk/news/albion-2-1-hertha-berlin

James McClean seems to be in good form, scoring his second of pre-season for Wigan against Sheffield Wednesday and providing the assist on two others: https://wiganathletic.com/news/2022/...d-wednesday-1/

In League One, Luca Connell played the full 90 for Barnsley against Sheffield United: https://www.barnsleyfc.co.uk/news/20...blades-report/

Just after arriving in Fleetwood, Promise Omochere played the last quarter against Dundee United, while Cian Hayes set up their winning goals: https://www.fleetwoodtownfc.com/news...ndee-united-h/

Well, this League One must be a much lower standard than LOI - seven minutes after coming on as a sub for his debut, Dawson Devoy scored: https://www.mkdons.com/matches/fixtu...-on-23-jul-22/

No idea either. Fixed that for you

[elatedscum]

Caomhin Kelleher with another unluckily timed injury. Alison has been injured for most of pre-season and had CK been fit would have been an excellent opportunity to start the season until Alisson was fully fit
