    UK clubs 2016/17 preseason

    A couple of interesting developments to watch - Firstly, Olamide Shodipo started for QPR in a recent friendly against PSV Eindhoven (http://www.qpr.co.uk/news/article/20...d-3175766.aspx). Secondly, there has been a revamp to the Football League Trophy for the upcoming season - sixteen Premier League clubs' Under-21 teams will be participating with the League One and Two senior teams so hopefully it will give some of our youngsters a chance to gain experience against adult opposition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016%E...317_EFL_Trophy). Alas, we will have no representation at a number of these club, but we do have a few players who could do with a chance to impress with a few games against senior sides - the likes of Ian Lawlor at man City; Conor Masterson at Liverpool; Sam Byrne, Harry Charsley, Steven Kinsella and Courtney Duffus at Everton; Josh Cullen at West Ham; Zachary Elbouzedi and Shaun Donnellan at West Brom.

    Man City and Liverpool have turned down their invite to the EFL Trophy, as well as Man United and Spurs. Everton, Southampton and Stoke have said they will be participating.

    Mark Bunn and Kevin Toner played for Aston Villa against Worcester City, Toner playing the full game and Bunn replaced after 77 minutes. Villa played another friendly earlier in the day but team sheet not listed on their site. Blackburn also played a double-header today. John O'Sullivan played in the first game against Bury, while Byrne, Lenihan and Stokes all featured against Morecambe.

    Adam Hammill and Conor Hourihane both scored for Barnsley against Weston-super-Mare. Meanwhile Scott Hogan carried forward his goalscoring streak from last season by netting against VfL Bochum earlier in the week - time for MON to have a chat, maybe? John Egan was a second-half substitute in the same game.

    ...and the one we're really interested in: Callum O'Dowda made his debut for Bristol City, playing 35 minutes and showed "signs of his ball-carrying ability, sharpness of turn and elusiveness with his slight build and nippy style." Derrick Williams played 85 minutes

    Joe Mason returned to the scoresheet for Wolves last night against Crewe. Matt Doherty also played while Connor Ronan was on the bench. All are included in a 25-man squad for a training camp in Ireland

    Thanks you CTP - I had a little bit of time on hand and thought I'd see how some of our Championship Prospects were faring in pre-season. Of course it's probably much too early to read much into some of these appearances - I remember seeing a video a couple of years ago of Bradley Garmston scoring a cracker of a goal in pre-season for West Brom just before he got sent on loan to Gillingham before making the move permanent.

    The two Kelly-Evans twins that played gaelic football with Daniel Crowley are after progressing to the first team squad there too. Either half of their second name could give inference of an Irish connection, as well as the gaelic football.

    Egan got Brentford's goal in their 1-1 draw with Wycombe, while McDermott got Rochdale's against Blackburn. Declan Rice also got a 30-minute run-out against Carolina during the Hammers' tour of the US, so he's starting to look promising.

    Appears to have played a bit for their under 21's at the age of 17 and must have impressed to be brought on this tour.

    Centre half or full back?

    Looked like centre half against Rubin Kazan two horrible mistakes for two goals today
