REDOXO Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 (edited) I thought a bit frantic in the first half. However some decent pre season performances The second half particularly after the un named sub Nelson came on we looked really dangerous. Cornick hit two quality finishes. Mayulu did a lot of off the ball running and got his assist with a nice dink Stokes got into it when Nelson got on Ayman got into a couple of good positions but couldn’t quite nail the cross. At one point we had three left footers at the back. Who all looked more than competent Bajic had little to do so who knows how things will pan out for him but looked comfortable All in all an enjoyable couple of hours and the boy Nelson looks like a real winger. Some really decent balls down the left getting him in constantly. Edited July 27 by REDOXO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Rojo Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 (edited) It's really great to read the positive comments about the youngster this pre-season. Unexpected for me, given the attention/focus on the new signings. I really hope the club are thinking about the contracts of these young prospects and importantly, giving them a chance in the first team this season and we dont end up with more Conway type situations.

1960maaan Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I think Fally may time to settle, did look a little lost and frustrated at times. With Armstrong seemingly hitting the ground running it gives him time to settle in with every one/thing.. Looks like he can hold the ball up, movement looked ok and has an ok touch. When he relaxes in to the role I think he may look a lot better. Benarous looked good, could have scored but quite understandably a bit rusty at times . Nice to see the next batch looking like they may push towards the squad . I like the look of James , slowey looks a unit at what 18 , Nelson has shown some real promise too. Looks like we will have some good options all over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Robin Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 9 minutes ago, Ska Junkie said: Harry with Sincs, if we play 2 up top? Fally clearly needs some time and work. I would guess Nahki would be the obvious 2nd forward. Personally, I'm not expecting us to play 2 up top, so I haven't given much thought to it. Despite a couple of decent finishes today, I still think Cornick is quite a way down the pecking order. Armstrong and Wells have impressed in pre-season. Mayulu has been brought in because he's the profile of striker we were looking for, so despite a few slightly unerwhelming performances, I still wouldn't be that surprised to see him start. For me, Cornick would be less likely to start than all 3 of them (and also unlikely to start ahead of others in the surrounding attacking positions). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfc01 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Good game for us until the last 15 when we had a load of U21s on the pitch and it became a bit fragmented, but TGH held it together I thought. He was my MoM with Naismith and Cornick having good games. Special mention for Nelson who, despite having only one eye, had a great game and frightened the Exeter defence to death. Fally was a bit hit and miss and looks to need a bit of time before regular Championship football. Stokes grew into the the high tempo of the game and finished strong. And how nice to see Benarous back on the pitch, he looked fit and strong and didn't hold back. Well done to him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so we need to bring another championship ready Striker in now I’ll be astonished if we’ve spent £2.5m on a bloke to go into the 21’s when we won’t spend £3m on our ‘so say’ prime target! 27 minutes ago, kidjupiter said: For sure - if he scores the header then the narrative is totally different. It'll come. If. Yep. If. It’s too early to judge for sure, but the 2 games he’s had so far, he’s pretty much 3/10. Let’s hope he does improve. 3 minutes ago, Ska Junkie said: Who's been playing the 'Twine' / playmaker position / role in the Cheltenham and Exeter games?

Would love to see him see out a season and breakthrough Also nice to see so much more energy, pace and attacking intent. Especially out wide. Hopefully we can use that to break down these low block teams we struggle against Really rooting for Ayman.....he deserves some luck after what he has been through? 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtucks Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 25 minutes ago, Sleepy1968 said: He put a couple of good crosses in didn't he (one for the goal, which admittedly the two defenders ballsed up between them). What I like is that he has a quick look on the run and then can play a decent ball. I don't know how close he's meant to be, but he looks very promising. ed: The cross for the goal might have been Fally. I've got a memory like an, er, ????? Sorry, I forgot what you said to start with!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
