It was interesting to me that IB brought them on at exactly the same time. I hope he isn't having to manage any rivalry between them (although no problem if they've both got pride), we already know they're talking over who takes free-kicks and penalties
What I hope they both realise is that there'll be times this season when ones on fire and the other is off his game and vice versa. It might even be that say Ruben carries more of the load in the first half of the season and Cal in the second. It's a long season, nobody's gonna show themselves to be the main man over the first 15 or 20 games.
Watching the interviews, I think both R and R have a certain edge to them i.e. know they are good and the best two players in the team. Nothing wrong with that - I seem to recall a very young Grealish having that swagger at Notts, and Ronaldo is hardly a shy lad.
I just hope that desire to be Notts best player doesn't manifest itself in petty squabbling over penalties, free kicks etc.
