It's been awhile ...

Since last post Chelsea won The Europa League, Hazard left for Madrid & Sarri left too for Juventus. To no surprise after his baptism season at Derby, our former player 'Super Frank' Lampard was appointed our new manager.

After some encouraging friendlies, the Premier League started with 4 nil defeat at Old Trafford. Then a midweek date in Istanbul for The Super Cup against Liverpool. Despite a better performance a 2-2 draw after Extra-Time, we lost on penalties 5-4 sadly due to a Tammy miss. Then last Sunday we played Leicester City to welcome Frank home only to end up a 1-1 draw. Young Mason scored but not enough, did the team run out of steam ?

Spectators leaving after Open Training.

So Monday night went to the Bridge to watch the reserves - Development Squad play Liverpool. The team included to help recovery defender Rudi & striker Michy who scored 2 goals in a 3 nil win. Then on Wednesday went again to watch Frank's Open Training session, shame at the end the players didn't give 5 mins of their time like young Callum who went over to the kids for a few signatures.

Well the mini-podcast continues, wherever you listen see links in right column, many thanks for any interest !
