TuffLuff Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Was most impressed with Thorne weirdly there. Looked a lot more confident than we’ve seen in a good while, a good pre season under his belt and we may see the player we always thought we had. Never expected a goal fest, we barely moved out of first gear, but thought it was a good watch. Appreciate being able to watch it so cheers Sarasota Metropolis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was playing behind the front 2 in an attacking midfield role. Was a tall stocky guy. Huddlestone. Him and Thorne were holding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukedcfc Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Thorne looked well off the pace to me, Davies was playing ahead of him at times and he's jus come back from a serious injury. Good workout for the team, hopefully Marriott keeps on scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazaDunn Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 First thoughts on the unexpected ones.. Martin didn't lose the ball once, made some brilliant passes, pressed their defence and singlehandedly setup both the goals with Devine pass and move routines. The partnership with Marriott looks like gold dust after 45 minutes which means we'll never see it again ? Thorne looked comfortable on the ball, played some nice stuff, a few bits of sloppiness here and there but he's coming back from some big injuries. A bit of a way to go but can't be written off just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcfc_ram Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Just now, Andicis said: Huddlestone I believe. Dont think it was. He was further forward that Huddz. Think Huddz was 34. I thought it was at one point but huddz passed it forward with a long range quality pass and then someone similar to his stature was neat the ball. Unless Huddz has got very pacey over the sunmer?!?? I hope it is him, if so hes gained some serious pace!!!!! Very confusing without a proper team sheet with numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were wearing their numbers from last year I believe? The pace of the game was just slow, so it made Huddlestone look quicker. I got confused with some of the players too though.

Alph Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 What's Whittaker normally like? He didn't do a lot right then. For the youth lads these games are there to show that you have all the raw basics. That couldn't have gone worse for him. Nice kick around for everyone else. Hopefully dusted off some cobwebs and Cocu liked what he saw of our players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverurie Ram Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I downloaded their app at half time and managed to watch the second half. I enjoyed that. Super Chrissy Martin. These flags @ozzie_ender seemed to be enjoying themselves in the light breeze along with the palm trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I also think Thorne looked like he's got a lot to do to get up to speed. He played well. But I don't think we're looking for that yet are we? He looked a little bit heavy compared to Huddz who, as we know by now, is like a tractor in real situations. That's ok because it's expected. Was in hope rather than expectation that he'd look a bit quicker. Davies looked fresh. Huddz looked like he had fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thornes always gonna be slow hes not played a full 90mins in a first team in in about 10 years! Just hope by the end of pre season he sharpens up and gets abit of speed back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one point, at about 80 mins, he absolutely steamed into the tackle at RB, thought it was Bateman at first then when won the tackle and saw his number, I couldn't believe it was Thorne.

cosmic Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Nice to hear Cocu speak about Marriott playing in a slightly different role than he was used to last season - with Martin as a 10 and two DMs. Utilising Marriott’s eye and timing for making the right run. Looked good in the highlights. Trying not to get too excited, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second half we played a 4-2-4 with the ball and 4-2-3-1 without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
