Thought we dominated the ball first half but looked rusty at the back and lacked any impact in the final third.
Second half we just huffed and puffed a bit tbh.
Hamer looks very good. Hilsner much improvement is needed. Missing Rose and Dabo.
Giles looks like he will come good. Allen looks like he did when he first started games last year, off the pace but will come good.
Jones can only get better. Kelly is Kelly, and Shippers looks to make runs and is a danger from midfield. Faz not match fit. O'Hare not on his game yet, in and out in flashes.
Others disappointing, though Mason did his job.
Good test and tbh probably the best result to have which emphasises the need for improvement. That's what friendlies are for.

Neither was I... But he criticised the performance which must mean.... He's an idiot

So now even the gaffa has talked about poor passing, players not putting enough in and the amount of work to be done, shall we agree that criticism even in pre season is actually a reasonable expectation

let me know when you plan on demonstrating that, cause at the moment you’re treating a pre-season friendly like a vital relegation 6 pointer.

There were things to be encouraged about, bapaga, Allen and fadz back playing football, players getting game time etc...

Again you seem to struggle with basic criticism of the match in front of us...

It's perfectly reasonable to suggest today was poor, and we looked way off... Thankfully it appears we have a couple games over the next 7 days which could do us the world of good... Cheers

Stop lying, the manager himself- who you just pointed out as being the expert- said that “overall there was plenty to be encouraged by”

Are you claiming to know more than Robins now?

I've just given you examples of things Robins could see as encouraging... He states previously to us being poor with the ball and off the pace / maybe not putting enough in to get the ball... I'm not sure what you've struggled with there mate tbh

you don’t know enough about football to try and explain what Robins might be thinking, I’m happy enough with what he says for himself.

A few people could do with reading Robins article on the club website yesterday. He talks about fitness and why they're doing things the way they are and where we're at with recruitment.

Obviously not as you appear to be completely ignoring his criticism, the players are going to have to do more sprinting, they gave the ball away too much... Doesn't sound like he's too pleased with the footballing aspect...

He said there were encouraging things, but that could be as small as somebody getting 30 minutes under their belt... Youre making no sense in your argument... I probably agree with Robins opinion of the game more than yourself by the sounds of it

It's not really people saying it's poor, it's the hysteria.

It becomes hysterical when people start calling people cunts etc because they said we played shit and looked way off the pace

Do you have anything to say about the game at all? Not sure why you bother coming on the match thread. If you want to compare dick sizes, perhaps go back to the off topic chat. Leave the football free of your nonsense.

I've been talking about Hilsners performance, you really should read the thread before you comment on it and then you wouldn't look so foolish

The game was exactly pre season, but the same issues stand out for me as we had last year. We are toothless in attack.

Some good performances, Hamer again looked pretty good. McFadz seems to be a bit of a scape goat, but I didn't think he was that bad apart from the hair.

Hopefully a few new faces in the building over the next week or two, and a few more games should help to clear out the rustiness.

BTW I agree this is no Indictation of how our season will go per say.. . I just don't want us to be at a point where we are not ready and come out the blocks like a 3 legged horse... In this league we need to be ready as many expect us to struggle outside of our own circle... It's a relentless division and we have to be sharp and ready to go

Not what you said though is it, your very first comment asked me if I had anything to say about the game.

Nice attempt at backtracking but as per the george floyd thread you are once again chatting whiff.

Dabo is a huge miss at right back we forget just How much He adds to our attack,saying that I still feel we are in a position where we haven’t addressed the issues we had last year in attack we desperately need a striker of quality agreed easier said than done.We will bring in another holding midfielder I’m certain my worry is the issues upfront.
