Not convinced that partnership is fully worked out yet. Simms is a penalty box striker, and we didn't really get the ball in that position for him.

My concerns after this game are Fadz and Collins.
Both looked off it.

I think Lati was more of a concern for me than Fadz. Lost a lot of 1 v 1 duels. Fitness comes before sharpness and I suspect a few of the lads will need next week to get there fitness up.

I thought Lati was really good. He surprised me how good he was in the air.

Should I put it as a quote with clouds in the background in black and white and italic font ?

Or with a lion roaring ?

Only one game but I was disappointed in what I saw from Simms and Collins. Ladibieure looked much better on the right. Burroughs looks better going forward than backwards. Palmer was a class above, as was Hamer and Sheaf. Bink's looked very comfortable.
Eccles did well in midfield. Godden's movement was excellent but should have had at least a hat trick.

I really like our back three, and I think though he’ll have our hearts in our mouths a few times Collins will give us a different dynamic building from the back, we’ll give the ball away a lot less and play further up the pitch.

I think Hamer, van Ewijk, and whoever ends up partnering Simms will be key to our forward play so not sure what we can learn there.

Liked the bit I saw of Binks as well.

Hoping you mean in the cup games?

Yeah, I know it's only a friendly but Simms had a poor game, he's control and passing left a lot to be desired.

Godden just missing a yard of pace and playing spaces Simms looks like he wants to be playing. He’s still the guy you’d want taking a last minute pen or getting on the end of a half chance. I just worry our play has moved past him otherwise.

Well see. I don’t think Robins will be worrying too much based on that performance. Moore had a stinker his first pre-season but was excellent for the next 6-9 months.

Whatever happens with Hamer will define our season.

Keep him and we will have a good chance of competing again for the play offs, if he goes we will be mid table.

How would you rate him on that performance out of 10?

And yes, its a totally meaningless pre-season game.

How long are you going to keep this one going on a scale of 1 to 10 with ten being ages.

I really hope Wilson is first choice. Not quite sure what he's done to deserve being replaced by him. "he's a sweeper keeper"-he looks shocking, tbf.

There were some hairy moments from the back line but all of them are very comfortable on the ball and are good passers .
Even though Simms was slightly off it today it looked like him and Godden are getting a good understanding going .
Centrally we were different class
Collins didnt fill me with confidence though
