With the visit of West Ham United on Thursday night in his mind, Hakan rung the changes in the latest pre-season match, with a number of reserves making the trip.

The home side were two up within the first 16 minutes, and it appeared as if it would be a long evening at the Southwood Stadium.

Petrit Elbi scored an early second half goal to give The Blues some hope, but despite a much better second half performance, the game finished 2-1 to the Rams.
