Selred Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 This Pecover is great. Quick, strong, great close ball control. Probs our best player, excited to see more of him. We are beginning to tire, not really dominating. Fally unfortunately still poor all round, touch, movement, positioning. More Manning training ground time needed for him.

Selred Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Steady performance, still wonder where the creativity will come from. Our style of play is to whack it out wide, pull it back across and hoping someone stubs it home. Personally would like to see more shots outside the box from midfield to shake it up a bit. Stokes, Morrison, and Messi incarnate Pecover can be proud. Others have done as expected, Fally time will tell. Good minutes in the legs. 2-0 full time. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Style, effectiveness- type of runs made etc. Watching from the terraces here @Mr Popodopolous. Bell by far and away our best player and great to see Naismith back. A number of the players look a bit rusty, as to be expected, its their first run out. Fally and Stokes have had a few good touches and link up play, but if you were starting with them in 18 days, then they look raw. Early days, but Fally is a leggy forward, not massively pacey and his understanding of the way we play will take time. Great run and finish by Pring for our 2nd and overall there's been little for Max to deal with. Shout out for Leo Pecover. Where has this lad come from? Excellent cameo replacing Bell. Pace, energy and a decent touch. Looks a real prospect for a 16 year old. Ft 2-0 City 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better still, my son is Mascot for City, while the Children I coach on a Sunday are flagwavers for Aldershot. Both clubs have been amazing to make this happen. If Carlsberg did pre season friendlies .... Only downside, is I'm sat in the Home end. What a brilliant evening at Aldershot tonight. Our manager and our players are a credit to the club - all making a real effort and engaging with my son, asking him questions and taking time to listen to him etc. Chatting with Liam for a little time, gives me great optimism for our long term future. The club can often get criticism for things that they do wrong, but should be recognised when doing things right. As a fan of over 40 years, I'm about as proud as I could be to support this club tonight. 56 2 1 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincs, Fally and Wells will be the central competition. I don’t see any of them bagging 20, granted, but I can see us being a team with goals from a lot of areas. Bell and Sykes get goals from wide, Twiney from the 10. Knight, Bird and TGH can all get goals from midfield. Atkinson and Dickie from the back and hopefully Pringy and McCrorie can get in on the action occasionally. Then we’ve got the new dimension Hirakawa will bring. I’d love a 20 goal striker but it’s not the be all and end all to a successful season 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take the point but my gut feeling for a while has been. *Wells- Elder statesman, reliable head. Invaluable experience. *Young striker- for both the here and now and hopefully some time. *Prime striker- 24-28, both here and now but could evolve into an elder statesman if it goes well.
