Second goal was hardly Collins’ fault tbf.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

MVE has a habit of not picking the runner in those positions as well.

 

[long way home]

Just more minutes in the legs against a good side. Be interesting to see if Wright and Eccles rehab has them getting minutes next week.

 

[eyesee]

goals were a bit soft, but we created some good chances against a prem side, and didn't get overrun.
and the new away kit looked reasonable.

 

[Littlewood CCFC]

Bidwell for the 2nd goal..... wow

 

[Hobo]

MVE has a habit of not picking the runner in those positions as well.

Which is why he isn't a sure fire Premier League target. On the radar yes, but there is no queue forming.

 

[fatso]

We all know the result means nothing and its all about getting minutes into legs and finding a level of fitness and blah blah blah

But it would be nice if one of our strikers could find the net at least once before the season starts, just to give them some confidence etc.

Frank needs batter Dougs door down demanding a striker

Looks like Ayari had a point to prove. Where was this player when we had him on loan? Kitching and Bidwell didn't look great in those highlights. Simms is still afraid to take his man on.

Think you could see Ayari was a talent when he was here just didn’t gel in the team and didn’t get given the time to do so.

Thought this thread was going to be like a 'best of' of @Brighton Sky Blue from the last season.

Ayari was nowhere near the 6 yard box

We’re all disappointed.

 

[Seymour_East]

Bidwell for the 2nd goal..... wow

Or for that matter Jamie Allen ball watching

There are plenty. I’ve never got so much wrong in one season, you can tell I was sleep deprived

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

I think we played well enough judging from those highlights, I still think we need a better striker and centre-back though.

Just don’t feel confident going into the season with only Wright or Simms as the main striker, and if Wright starts as striker most games it means we have less depth on the left. We’re going to get injuries and if that happens to either Simms, Wright or EMC it means we’re stuck with playing one of those two almost every week with basically no backup options.

What point did Ayari have to prove. He played 34 times for Brighton last season and scored two goals. Im sure he has lost no sleep over his loan at Coventry.

 

[Deity]

That’s not how human mind works though is it.

He will have enjoyed that moment and I don’t blame him.

 

[Hobo]

The highlights are brief but I thought we had some decent moments. Brighton have played a few friendlies as well so not like they are weeks behind us. Brighton are a very good side.

I haven’t followed his progress at all since he left us. Didn’t realize he’s played that many games for them.

I think his loan here was cut short and then he was loaned out again to Blackburn the same season. Expectations were high, but he wasn’t the player he is now. Scored 1 goal and created another if I remember correctly. Apart from that I think he didn’t make much of an impact. Think he started a match against Ipswich and was subbed off at halftime as he wasn’t playing well.

To be fair he was playing under Robins and as much as I liked the guy he did come over as bloody stubborn probably what ended the Adie partnership

Or any backing from the fans

it was evident he had potential though.

 

[oscillatewildly]

OK, so anybody still in doubt of how the outcome of a match up of a near full strength c’ship top six potential side versus a weakened mid table p’ship side encounter would look like, look away now.

 

[Samo]

Have we actually scored a pre-season goal yet?

 

[SBT]

By the look of these highlights, Kitching is already in mid season form…

Have to say, Kitching is certainly not the answer, hope I am wrong but he doesn't give me confidence we could or should ever build a defence around him

 

[Ccfcisparks]

We won 2-0 last week?

 

[Ricketts]

We won 2-0 last week?

And people comment on the own goal but if the defender hadn’t put it in, EMC would have.

 

[Hobo]

Also it was a good ball in. When defenders have to play a ball facing their own goal it often results in an own goal. It came about from good attacking play. It wasn't like it was a bad back pass that beat the keeper when they weren't under pressure. Like you say EMC was there. Nothing not to like about that goal

 

[Deity]

Have we actually scored a pre-season goal yet?

Yes one goal, a cracker from KKH.

The other was an own goal.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

You do know an own goal counts as a goal.

If we scored 100 goals and they were all own goals this season we would win the league.

 

[fernandopartridge]

The other was an own goal.

If the player hadn't have touched it EMC was waiting to tap it in

 

[PVA]

tbf I do remember EMC missing a tap in from a few yards out last early last season
