Hardly cause for major panic, but then again that's City's OMB users for you. I'm surprised there isn't a "McCall Out" campaign going yet.
As I said on there, (can't believe I'm actually registered!) the fact that Jakes and Wethers (and our physio!) were on the bench suggests that it was an exercise in match fitness rather than performance, which wasn't exactly rocket science to begin with. None of the players got through the 90 as they've obviously been worked hard in training and it's the first game.
That was too rational an explanation for them to handle though.
