Spike Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 I really wish we could see what's going on, no panicking, no knee jerk reaction but with that starting line up we really shouldn't be conceding two goals in the first 20 minutes. I'm hoping it's just a bit of a bad first day back at work kind of situation. Also I'm sure it's not helping Wood any to have 2 goals shipped in such a short time against a team we should have no issues defending against.

We haven’t played any friendlies before today, are going to look at 22 players over 90 minutes & it is about easing ourselves back in, not the result.

It’s almost as if some of the relentlessly negative posters are desperate for something to complain about.. I don’t think pre season scores have the slightest impact on how the season goes. It matters in the sense that the players should be playing well to establish their position in the team. Wells should be showing nothing but grit to prove Conway shouldn't start before him, Vyner should be looking for a strong game to show he's still worth a starting spot. Wood is getting a chance to play with the main team and should be looking to show he's ready to step up... No, the game is not important, we can lose it and it's fine but performances certainly matter if the team is truly competitive for starting positions.

Same thing on here all the time, people reading something and jumping to conclusions. I'll repeat it again so it's clear... 11 minutes ago, Spike said: Wells should be showing nothing but grit to prove Conway shouldn't start before him, Vyner should be looking for a strong game to show he's still worth a starting spot. Wood is getting a chance to play with the main team and should be looking to show he's ready to step up... Where do I say that is not happening? As you said yourself, I cannot see the game but I was responding to someone saying the game doesn't matter. I simply pointed out a few examples of why it does matter, because these players should be battling for a place in the team. From what I've read Wells has an assist and is playing very Well which is great and shows his head is where it should be. Honestly, people read posts these days and take what they want from it rather than what's actually being said. From my assessment of what I do know is going on in the game Knight is battling hard, which is what Derby fans said is what we'd get from him, which is fantastic to hear. Wells is in with an assist and seems to be doing well in our attack and Bell has scored twice by being in good positions. They are all positives I'm very happy to read, the only negative is conceding two goals in such a short period of time of which the only information I have is that we "fail to clear our lines" which is something we heard all too often last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Swan and Cemetery Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 We’ve no idea what tweaks to set up with/without the ball we’re trying, plus players that haven’t played with each other before etc etc. These are exactly the games to try things and accept things might not go to plan as no downside - the objective is getting ready for PNE and beyond, not sending GJ home recoiling from a hammering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
