First time I’ve seen us this preseason and looks much like last. Defence has a mistake or two in, midfield lacks dynamism and creativity and forwards can’t finish. Hopefully Haji fixes the latter.

First time I’ve seen us this preseason and I thought we looked pretty decent with a few glaringly obvious issues.

The first goal we scored was awful defending by them too.

This is Pep’s fault. Made the game copy his mentality of ‘keeper needs to act like an outfield player’. Now all keepers think they’re Pirlo

It doesn’t really work anymore though, teams are too good at pressing. Game has moved on so frustrating how we persist at times.

Watching on the St Pauli stream and the score came up at HT as 1-1 (2-2). Anybody any idea what the 2-2 bit is all about?

Pretty optimistic for this season overall. I think continuity is a powerful thing in football and we’ve managed to keep together a side who were pretty good last season. Expecting us to finish top 6 again and looking forward to Hull.

(Cue Coventry City 0-1 Hull next weekend and meltdown ensues)

I hope we can bring in a centre half and striker this week but still in a healthy place overall

The defence is very worrying, and not just individual performances - the shape and organisation is all over the place.

Our strikers both scored and we had quite a few problems at the back, but everyone's convinced we need to keep signing strikers every season?

Get rid of Bassette by all means and spend the cash on someone who's Championship-ready, but how much money do people want us to keep spending on CFs?

Striker is definitely the biggest concern. BTA got in some good positions but his finishing is woeful.

It’s clear we seem to be intent on spamming crosses in, particular from cut backs.

Aderby fan summed up Lampard that he would play loads of passing football and wait for Mount to do something special.

it does feel like that sometimes with us and rudi

Do we think our goal keeping coach is the problem seems to destroy good keepers very quickly.

Think it was a good performance.

Second goal looks like Bidwell got dragged out of position. Hope the left sided CB comes in but overall controlled the game and without a moment of madness would of won.

Lots more direct balls through the middle which helped BTA get into some good positions.

Rapha looked good in his cameo and imo might be decent enough if we can’t get an option to back up the right wing.

Tldr good work out, need a left sided CB and a ST

What's he doing, telling the keepers to let the opposition have the ball whenever he gets pressed? Not sure that's something the keepers tend to rely on the coaches for tbh...

See I thought it was more through the middle today and not as cross heavy as normal

I think it's a tad early to say Rushworth has been destroyed.

I don't think that's the case at all, we're creating chances for Rudi not dependent on him

It's very much the high risk high reward I mentioned after the Betis game. We will score and concede loads

Lampard interview:

Good game. Could have scored more against a tough team.
Haji is fully over his injury
Rudoni slight calf injury but should be ok
Bassette is same situation. Big Justin ahead of him. He needs to train at the top level.
