@antoneee_x jested: “Announce Champions League”
@tim96782499 tweeted: “League 1. Already won it”
@peterjames73 said: “Thought Ethan Robson was good tonight. Embleton played well when he was on. Burge made some good saves and McLaughlin done what he needed to. More importantly, minutes in the tank.”
@Award78safc commented: “Robson stood out for me”
@1879JJMoyes posted: “Leadbitter with the captains armband looks good”
Former player @SleevesElliott added: “Again I know it’s only pre season but as I’ve said before if Robson gets a run in team he will become a hell of a player. Will score a few too”
