I’m sure we will mate in the next 2 weeks 100% we’ve yet to make any loan signings yet either

Like tommo said, I'd still be delighted to stay up on goal difference at this point.. Just stay in this league and push on

although not in Dabos league I though both Pask and Borroughs did OK, (particularly Burroughs).
Agree about the striker.
Robins has pulled a couple of Rabbits out of the hat in the last few years with McNulty and Godden. Hopefully he can do the same again but the higher the league the more difficult a goal scorer is to come by.

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.

We dominated the ball first half? Really??

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
Click to expand...
In each of Robins' full seasons, it seems we've had our training set up to finish the season more strongly than other teams, and this does mean we look a bit slower at the start, before we get into gear.

As long as we're patient (and Robins has earned that) that can work quite well. It's echoes of Ferguson's Man Utd.

(Does depend on us being able to finish a season, of course!)

I thought we showed some really nice glimpses of what we’re capable of. Giles and O’Hare seem to have an understanding, Hamer looks class, Allen looked good at AM. Neither striker did it for me today, and Hamer needs a partner, and we need Dabo and Rose back, but plenty of good to take away.

Just need Paul Warhurst is it @Nonleagueherewecome?

People bang on about fitness levels but as stated I bet Swindon came back the same time as we did or very close too,they had games last we had a weeks holiday
Click to expand...
I checked, they came back the week after us, however we have had a week off, so we have both done the same amount of training.

It isn't freshness it is sharpness and you only get it through playing. Breen explained it well in the commentary. They've played twice already this week which makes a lot of difference. I think we should have had another friendly after that Rangers game tbh.

City squad lowest valued in the division

How Barnsley's £12m-rated side fare in the latest controversial market value ratings - including Coventry City, Blackburn Rovers & more

The new Championship is just over a month away, and excitement is building as the fight for promotion and battle against relegation all begin again, in what looks set to be an enthralling 2020/21 campaign.

It's Transfermarkt i.e. total made up nonsense.
They have Ivan Toney as worth £360k for example.

Marosi £45k
Hyam £45k
Godden £45k
Dabo £270k etc.

While angry, red faced weirdos like you are posting gammon will never be old hat.
And the second line doesn't make sense, but well done for using the space bar. An improvement on your previous post.

personally, like the drinks break, I think it's ran its course. But some of these gammon can't help but let it get to them. They should just let it go the snowflakes!

It was nice to see JJ looked as if he was working his way back to something like his old self. He didn't look quite as nervous about potential contact as in previous glimpses of U23s outings. It gave me a bit more hope than I had before, that he might make it back to where he was.
