Blue_Guru Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 FIFY True not one pre season goal in 4 games from the existing squad...scary really exactly where we were last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolatic Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Can't speak from first hand experience, because I wasn't there, but it seemed as though we were the better team and created plenty of chances. Just didn't put them away. Maybe it needs one to go in off someone's arse and boost the confidence to kick on from there. Not much time to put it right, though.

Monty Burns Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Was good that I thought. Everybody played well, Flynn was quiet first half but got going. Very impressed by Reckford, Mantack, Green and No4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakerT Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Need to sign the two trialist midfielders tonight both very good, striker needs another game to show what he can do. Positives tonight, we look decent, need more composure in front of goal but mildly optimistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueatheart Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 An improvement but no creativity. Green looks ok. You must have been at a different game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsy Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Green and the no4 looked good both worth another look the trialist striker showed nothing to suggest he would be up to the task I would let him go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel8157 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I think the one up top was paul garita. Def looked like him. The starting 11 looked good. Easily a match for wigan and i actually think there is goals in that front two once they get a couple more games. Paul is a def sign for me, controlled the game. The number 4 worth a contract and reminded me of dieng Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No 4 gave the goal away ( needless foul) and tried hard to give another 2 away. I had more touches than number 23. Burgess fine. I will have his right boot when he has finished with it . It will still be brand new. Clarke very good . Law very calm and composed but distribution and pace a concernBlindingly obvious we lack pace. Well organised ....we ain't going to be involved in many 3-3 draws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it did seem as though we played some decent stuff. Also, blindingly obvious we need goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flemboy Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Motm for me was 4.Overall a decent performance by this new team and unlucky not to score but again we need a fox in the box to put away the chances we create.Signs of promise though for sure.

The number 4 worth a contract and reminded me of dieng A pacy left winger and a goalscorer needed,not keen on Josh Law at right back gets turned too easily. The two centre backs, left back and defensive midfieders are fine I would hope once the season starts Flynn and Banks will impose themselves on the game more. Croft good again.

Blue_Guru Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) Is it worth giving Crofty a contract instead of this month to month lark?Guess it's incentive to keep his weight down...a contract might just see him balloon again Thy must be confident he needs us more than we need him essentially Edited July 26, 2016 by Blue_Guru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcassist Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Paul Arnold Garita (with less hair) from Bristol City, did OK. Better than Cassidy (but that doesn't take much).Paul Green and the No: 4 that came we're both class, sign them up.Lofty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a good left winger and striker and I think we have a pretty decent side. I do think with a couple more games McKay and Erwin could be a good partnership. I think Id need to see more of Law to make a proper judgement. The other three at the back and the keeper look solid though. I liked Banks, Green and Flynn in mid. We still look a little short of fitness and sharpness and its a shame we dont have a few more games before the season starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nonaenever Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Does anyone think we will ever sign a striker again who is actually capable of scoring goals? I ask because, quite simply, without one (oh for two!) it is going to be a very long, hard season. I`ll support them as ever but we need to be seriously realistic about our prospects this season.

Not MOTM for me, did some very nice things but also made a few mistakes, worth a short term contract though. Reads the game well and some good interceptions but silly fouls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
