We’ve had a Pato clip over the keeper cleared away as it didn’t have the legs to reach the net, he’s also slashed one wide from outside the box. They’ve had a couple of half chances, And one that Dawson saved 1 on 1 Passes have gone astray, there’s little cohesion, we’re creating very little up front. Pre season only yes. But there’s little, if any flashes to suggest they’re ‘getting the new game plan’ Because it’s not attacking football right now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I have not watched any of these games as simply not interested, but i think what we are seeing from the players is the difficulty of raising the levels after the end of last season. Plus the very short gap they had off - 4 weeks was it ? Throw in the shock of Moore leaving and getting to know the methods of the new chap Not saying all is good by any means, but until we see the competitive games, decent crowd, on TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrolMong Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 What has alarmed me is the utter lack of mobility everywhere on the pitch. I know Munoz wants to sort that, but the biggest difference between the second and third division is pace. We have some decent footballers, but no ability to turn teams around. Munoz plays a running style, he needs another 4 or 5 in forward and midfield positions to even attempt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank_Owl2,0 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I also assume they trained earlier, so maybe part of the seemingly shit performance is bc they are a bit leggy from the training they are doing. However, if Donny were also training earlier… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellsview Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Issue we have is that we are basically playing with last season’s team, plus a few kids and minus a few departures. This is the issue with not bringing players in until now. We’ve been to Spain, we’ve done the pre-season fitness drills and warm weather training, we’ve had and done the team building/bonding/camerarderie stuff, it should now be about final tweaks as we get ready for kick-off in just over a week’s time. But we’re behind where we should be prep wise right now and it shows - but we were always going to be, not knowing what league we were playing in until after the playoff final. At the end of the day it’s a 46 game league season and nothing is won/lost in July/August. It’s going to take a bit of time for the new lads to settle in, including the ones we haven’t signed yet, just as it’s going to take time to adapt to and play a new formation/system. Fortunately we have that time on our side though, as a ball hasn’t been kicked in anger yet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I agree with a lot of the above. I dipped into the game second half on you tube between doing other stuff. It stunk of a run out for us, different by them, home game etc. But as has been said some of our football was shocking. But I'm with Kev on this, means nowt, let's see what we do a week on Friday.

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 The thing to accept is this season at best will be achieving 55 to 60 points. So 16 wins, 8 draws would take us there to 56, permitting 22 defeats along the way. Forget all the DC bullshit about being competitive at the top - not a chance Forget about long unbeaten runs, get to 4 and be grateful Accept the home form will not be as good It's not being defeatist, more realistic about where we are as a squad 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Xisco needs time, obviously and while it's wrong 2 Judge him now, people will. Having said that, if your not worried watching us last few games...... The results are irrelevant but it's the way we're playing. We're trying to play out from back with players who can't do it, not Xisco fault, not his players although as a manager you adapt style to what you have and if don't..... Let's see where we are end of August. At moment we will get our arses handed to us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirstys 12th Pint Posted July 26, 2023 Author Share Posted July 26, 2023 The thing that peed me off most last night was me deciding to go ! I never usually bother with friendlies as a waste of time but as I nearly pass the ground on the way home from work decided to go. I'd have been better off at home watching Sewing Be or Pottery Throwdown. Oh yes, the other thing that annoyed me other than myself was some of the absolute whoppers that follow us. Stood up down the gangways blocking the view of people sat down with absolutely no regard. Its just rude - probably symptomatic of society now.

bricat Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 When your keeper is the player kicking the ball the most times in a game it doesn't auger too well. When your players can't regularly find a team mate with a pass it augurs worse. When a team mate does receive a pass and can't control it - hello Shit Street. Sums up the four games I have watched. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are usually dire. As these have been. They don't really give a true indication. The one thing that we can take from these however is he wants 2 play out from the back and at the moment we definitely haven't got the players to do that. DC has brought in a man who wants to play out from back and a totally different formation. That's fine but it's slightly contradictory as he'll have to spend quite bit money to do that, and can we?
