Did we have a pre season result that bad under Robins?

Is the Tats injury real or was someone on the wind up?

Wind up mate. Like 90% of today’s posts by look of it

Maybe Rapha was ill or picked up a knock. People saying he won’t make it just because he didn’t feature in a behind closed doors run out are being way OTT

Middlesbrough beaten by Santa Clara amd QPR smashed 6-0 against a poor Spanish side, people need to relax

not in the slightest bit funny, btw.

Oh Rapha didn’t play. Don’t worry though, Lampard said he’s a good lad so he must be good. Year to get fit it’s fucking laughable that people think he’s got a chance.

He'd be gone if he didn't have a chance.......

Why is that? Need a club to take him first.

 

[Tommo1993]

100% with ptr on this one. He’s not gonna cut it.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Interesting Luke Bell started instead of Collins

 

[Covcraig@bury]

It was a must win game , Lampard out

 

[steve101]

Interesting that Bidwell wore captain's armband. Not sure that suggests he is on his way out as some have suggested.
Encouraged that Bell played ahead of Collins.

Or just a case of there's more than 22 of them out there, so some had to miss out. He'll probably get a half in the next game

Me and the family landed in Faro about 2 hours ago and bumped into the squad on there way home, daughter had her City shirt on, Rudi and Ephron stopped for a pic

So? Nothing to do with the comment you quoted

Quoted it by accident terribly sorry this offended you baldy

Luke Bell unlucky with the own goal. But first one was a poor pass by him that was intercepted.

 

[Skybluedownunder]

First Half Xl: Ben Wilson (GK); Milan van Ewijk, Callum Perry, Liam Kitching, Jake Bidwell; Matt Grimes, Kai Andrews, Victor Torp; Brandon Thomas-Asante, Ellis Simms, Ephron Mason-Clark.

Second Half Xl: Luke Bell (GK), Kaine Kesler-Hayden, Luis Binks, Bobby Thomas, Jay Dasilva; Jamie Allen, Ben Sheaf, Jack Rudoni; Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, Norman Bassette, Miguel Ángel Brau.

Interesting no minutes for Collins, surely that means please leave

Still not over these results. Think I need a mental health day from work.

 

[Bad Boy]

Bit of time off 1 maybe 2 days and then I assume it's full steam ahead back at Ryton.
Is that this week's programme?

They’ve just lost to a 2nd division Portuguese side. Id have them running laps of Ryton today, infront of the fans

I genuinely have no idea why you and others on this forum talk like this about him. You have seen absolutely nothing to base an opinion on. Why not be supportive and optimistic rather than a fucking prick about it

After the last few days i’ve really spotted you’re a prat.

Only taken you 13 years of posting well done!

Not exactly nothing. We’ve seen about 40 minutes of him across a possible 4000+ minutes. I predict this rate will carry on or increase insignificantly next season. It’s a waste of a squad place.

I’d transfer list the lot of them

If Rapha can’t get in ahead of BTA or MAB you’ve got to ask some Qs really. We could easily have played one less left back and fit him in if we wanted.

Sounds like Luke had a bit of a 'mare.

It's only the first game and it was clear from club statements the intention was to 'get 45mins game time' into players.

City fielded 11 different players in each half.

 

[Lamps]

Jesus. Some of the comments on here. It was a fucking friendly.

I agree. The result of a friendly doesn't mean a lot.

The problem is we know we have a GK crisis. We just played against a side that I don't have a clue what league they play in with most of our best players and they put 5 in against us. I was hoping to get a GK confidence boost in these games. All it has done is add to the worry.

I hope these games go the same way. Then we know we would end up bringing in a more capable GK before the start of the season.

That wasn’t our first team?

 

[larry_david]

No one knows how anyone performed yesterday. If Bell has made a mistake by giving a pass away then it's a good learning curve. He excelled away at loan last season, admittedly a very low level.

He needs national league or L2 now and needs to learn and I imagine now we've got that Fulham lad, this will happen

As for Wilson and Collins. We know what we are gonna get with them and unfortunately at their age they aren't going to improve much more

 

[fernandopartridge]

Why is that? Need a club to take him first.

I don't think they'd bother taking him away with the first team at cost if he wasn't in the plans at all, what'd be the point?

If anyone wants to see snippets of goals (albeit not from ideal angles) you can see them on the story of their Instagram account.
