Pre Season Friendly v Girona (H)

Shinnie is very box-to-box, must be exhausted by now. We seem to be leaving 2 players up high at all times, with Girona overloading Batemen at right back. 

We've had two water breaks so far and the coaching team has been talking to only the midfield, mainly Dowell and Bird, clearly not doing something quite right.

We really need a new CB if we’re going to play out from the back this season, Davies just can’t do it.

Agreed, Davies legs look like they can't move as quick. Another season or so of development Buchanan looks to be a great ball playing CB.

Maybe but we need someone to head the ball away against two thirds of the league!

Let’s be honest, this team has no creativity right now. Forward players are isolated and we seem to be wasting passes. Can’t really judge anyone other than the academy players right now. I feel like we’re playing a mix between football and hoofball.

Buchanan has had an excellent half there. Ditto with Lowe, both excellent on the ball. Davies hasn’t hit a 5 yard pass right yet, And Bateman is getting shredded. We don’t look particularly impressive, most of these players aren’t good enough/ aren’t ready for the style of football we want to play. Can see what we’re trying, but the 11 out there aren’t capable of it. Emphasises the need for signings and sales.

I dont know half the players. What formation are we playing? 

not a clue, there wasnt much passing through the thirds. A lot of passing it round the back then firing it forward hoping someone can get on the end of it. Nobody willing to take the ball in the middle of the pitch and try to make something happen. Lets hope they improve second half. These are the sort of games where you should have the courage to take the ball and try and prove yourself as youngster. Looks like they are too scared too make a mistake.

Too ponderous for me typified by Buchanan gesturing with his hands for Davies to pass to him quicker only for him to take too much time on the ball and pass straight back to Davies when Lowe has half the pitch in front of him. Sitting too deep and leaving a massive gap between Martin and the midfielders. Need to be more decisive with the ball and get it forward quicker. All these sideways and backwards passes would still suit David Batty down to the ground.
