Always like to see Ferry starting, but think that the 3 main CM's will all see lot of action this season. Excited for season start now, money dictates that watch Brighton on box but picked up tickets for crawley today, cant wait. COYR!

Don't worry he will be when it matters. Paolo is only giving him a break after the baby. Without him we only fire on 3 cylinders in midfield and there is no doubt Paolo recognises his importance.

PDC said Ferry was the only player in the second half who convinced him that he's worth a place in the first eleven.

No - he didn't sound happy at all with the second half. Can't say it bothers me too much. It's all preparation for the real thing. A sub-standard performance - in PDC's eyes - in a meaningless game, followed by the inevitable boll0cking, will probably do no harm at all. They'll now know what's expected of them next week and onwards.
