David Brent Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 38 minutes ago, Spike said: 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. It’s good to be back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Whilst the result doesn't matter, this is a first opportunity for players to impress, so it'll be satisfying for Bell and Knight to have bagged already.

I've seen plenty of posts where people say we are fine for cover in defence because Naismith is one of the cover options. For me, because of his injury concerns, we can't rely on him to be available to be that cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Dave Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Do people not realise that pre season is all geared for the start of the season? The players would’ve been beasted in Austria, now it’s about getting minutes into the players. They are probably told not to play at full capacity, due to risk of injury. I couldn’t give a **** about the result, as long as they’re ready for August 5th! 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. I can't help but be a bit pleased. When I used to play pre-season friendlies at a pitifully bad level I used to enjoy winning and getting on the scoresheet. This could be the start that Cornick and Mehmetti need to get on a roll and win a place in the side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
