DARREN PURSE:


"Pre-season has been brilliant. I'm happy to have got in the players that we have brought in, the scholars that have come up have really stepped up and now the big thing is taking what we've learned into the new season.

"If you look at how much our squad has developed and evolved, you've got some young players in there with a lot of experience.

In fairness we also had a young team. My son who is 17 played alongside Troy Perrett so he must be same age.

It says this in the headlines

I watched the game on youtube. It's the same problem as the first team, with loads of possession, we just couldn't put it in the net.

Might be a young team but it’s the same for Sheffield Wednesday, they didn’t have some of their best academy players either.

Good to see Purse starting how he means to go on.
