gbandit Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Loved that match to be honest, some comical moments, some really decent football in stretches. Only bad news to come out of it is Shelvey’s injury and Chris Wood still existing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's taking the piss. If he hates you lot, goodness knows what he thinks about us then! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Saw nowt of the first half, a few minutes after half time, then their winner. Sounds like a very useful evening of soccer practice. Glad Joe abused a man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away from his positioning and general competition for the ball (as someone else said) being the standard of a competition winner, that's a couple of really good chances that he's totally fluffed. Absolutely no where near PL standard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Well, that was very enjoyable as a pre-season friendly goes, we look super fit, well up for it and I thought we were the better side in both halves, if not the better footballing side. There are obvious issues with the team in certain areas and we need to strengthen still, but we will be fine next season. I enjoyed the tempo of the game, many moments of our play and if we could add 3 Bruno levels of players to the team, we can have a great season.

Tiresias Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Good intense game for the players. I wish we had more central control and we definitely need more goals in squad too. Second choice defenders werent that great and pope wasnt great but it's a friendly happy overall Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Really enjoyed that. Was a cracking run out and the fitness of the team looks really sharp. The ref being diabolical turned the game a bit silly in parts, but it just added to the spice. Can’t wait to get into the season now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Well that was class, so entertaining. Ref was a complete tosser but that added to the spice. Exactly what you want in a pre-season game though, tough hard, needing fight and desire, some decent quality, while also working out who's not going to be up to much cop, need to stop the individual errors but think we'll be in for a decent season.

Howeay Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Schar and Botman is quite good but Burn or Lascelles having to come in worries me, neither are good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big River Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 is anyone keeping track of how many goals Dan Burn is responsible for conceding? must be near double figures and he’s only been here since January… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
