Pretty good half by city , some sloppy bits but to be expected .

Playing ok but, left back left back left back left back oh did I mention left back.

I can see it being a real battle for the GK shirt when Dovin is fit.

On this brief performance, I’m not sure we’ll see much of Dovin this season.

 

[Evo1883]

Keeper communicating really well with the back line and im a big fan so far

 

[robbiethemole]

MVE looks fooked

 

[stupot07]

Decent half. Look vulnerable at the back but some nice passing moves. Final ball is pretty poor and we have been sloppy at times but decent against a good side. Important to note we are a week ahead in pre season, La Liga doesn't start until the 15th August.

if they win will they be dancing in the streets of Bet

On this brief performance, I’m not sure we’ll see much of Dovin this season.

I think it's a bit early to come to that conclusion.

 

[covcity4life]

Good performance so far. We look good on the ball

Really hope MVE stays.

Not being a boo boy but Simms the only one to disappoint so far

 

[Robinshio]

Great half for 11 days out and hopefully a couple of signings away

 

[Lamps]

Before people talk about how shite we are remember these are fucking good

But not that good

 

[Nick]

MVE looks fooked

Has he bulked up a bit?

 

[SHUNT31]

Don’t know if anyone has mentioned it, but new nets in the goals. They’re much deeper, like Leicester’s. Only small detail but I like it.

 

[Noble]

Cracking save that was, even better on replay

 

[quinn1971]

Not bad, centre forward was always going to be the issue, not even sure wright is the answer, we just haven’t got one that suits how we play, like with grimes you Could tell in the first 5 mins he was class, rushworths the same,

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Simms with a cross

He hit that cross like a shot lol

 

[Evo1883]

Good performance so far. We look good on the ball

Really hope MVE stays.

Don't think hes done anything wrong really , our deliveries generally have been lacklustre

 

[ptr]

Really pleased with that.

 

[procdoc]

What game are some of you watching? The standard of opposition is good and we coped reasonably well and had some good passages of play. Grimes and Rudoni class for us in that half

 

[theskyisthelimit]

Sakamoto has beaten their left back for strength a few times.
EMC has been involved and done well until final decision
Rudoni scores again.
Simms has run about and pressed.
Rusworth looks a great keeper.
Grimes doing Grimes things, except one awful pass first few minutes.

Good half against a good team.

 

[SkyBlueAussie]

I doubt if they will bother marking Simms if he comes out for the second half.

Yes his link up play has been good and there’s nothing I can note of a clear cut chance for him. The only downside was that cross/shot

Yeah they are isolated up there.

However we are putting a lot of crosses in and he's nowhere near attacking them.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Rushworth down very quickly for a big guy. Could be signing of the season

Rushy Rushy Rushy.

 

[rexo87]

We’ve found a keeper that could win us 10-15 points rather than lose us 10-15

 

[procdoc]

Simms had a decent half, I swear some people just see what they want to see

 

[TomRad85]

We look like we're about to piss the league if I'm being totally honest.

 

[CovInEssex]

Everyone keeps saying Betis are amazing (which I don't doubt) but they've been cak today...

 

[procdoc]

We look like we're about to piss the league if I'm being totally honest.

I said that against Everton last summer

 

[fatso]

Some very sloppy play early on, but improved as the half went on, Rushworth already looks a massive upgrade over Wilson and Collins, but Kitching looks off the pace, MvE is having a tricky game, and as usual we look weak upfront. Rudoni looking sharp and took his goal well.
Looking forward to seeing Torp threading some quality passes around.

All in all its a good work out at this time of pre-season.

 

[Nick]

It is weird seeing a keeper knowing what they want to do straight away and not take 5 minutes

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

I like the Betis kit an away kit idea one year?

 

[stevefloyd]

Simms has been as threatening as Jimmy Saville now he's dead

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

 

[Nick]

Is isco on the bench for them?

 

[clint van damme]

Or you get to the transfer window and the new manager tweaks the squad with players that fit the way he wants to play better.

But will take more than one window.
Was never going to all happen this summer.
