Magicman Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Weak and second best everywhere tonight so far Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I know it’s only a friendly but not a great first 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Looking quite lightweight tonight. Mentioned it before but there is a massive area in front of our CBs devoid of midfielders LeedsCityRam and angieram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammieib Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Thompson weak and loses a 50/50, Cashin should have done better. Poor goal to concede. No cohesion attacking and too often the ball is coming backwards. Attempted balls over the top have been poor. Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal is a Ram Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Much better movement that. Lovely cross from Oduroh but Knight gets the header wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentioned it before but there is a massive area in front of our CBs devoid of midfielders I imagine because it's not really Hourihane's or Thompson's game particularly. Underlines that Bird is kinda critical going into the season as it stands. LeedsCityRam, sage, angieram and 5 others 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see what we start the season with! Maybe loans will happen closer to the deadline, be nice having some younger full backs and wingers.

Animal is a Ram Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 That goal shows why you play these teams in pre-season. An entirely different proposition, far more physical. Zag zig, Crewton, Rammy03 and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had some real bad ones though. Almost to the point that costs you the game. Think he should very much be fourth of fifth choice midfielder for us. Eh ? Can’t agree with that, He had a couple of meh games where he didn’t show much and got caught but his consistency (at a high standard) for the rest was amazing. obviously I can’t comment about tonight because I’m not seeing it but to say that Tommo just had a few good games is a bit unjust IMO MickD, Tamworthram, Animal is a Ram and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfcreece1601 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Hourihane having a stinker currently with some of these mis placed passes and set pieces, think it's going to be one of them nights angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazloW Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Pre-season match day threads make me pee myself. So much analysis going on of players, formations and guesswork about it all translates into the season. It’s the hottest day ever, we still haven’t got a full squad, there are players missing. It’s a run out for fitness and to try a few things. Could get tonked 10-0 and it would mean absolutely f-all. Just enjoy a game of footy on a beautiful summer evening. archram, Ramfambo, Sufferingfool and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said Stevenage only retained something like 7 first team players so it’s a pretty new team for them as well. I know results don’t really matter in pre-season friendlies but we have been very poor so far and lucky to only be 1:0 down. Looks more like a first pre-season friendly than the third. dcfcreece1601 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramos Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Tbh if bird comes on I think the game changes. Def missing a bird or smith in the holding role. But this is more about minutes for other players. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal is a Ram Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Teams will find it easy to bully Tommo. Bird less so, so they work together well. Hourihane simply isn't that type of player. I quite like Wildsmith, once he finds his passing range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had great ones like west norm at home, think was his debut. But the bad ones were that bad made it like playing with ten. He definitely needs to be a lot more positive and play more centrally.

Was more commenting on putting a squad together from scratch, by all accounts Saturday was good so hopefully tonight just a blip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
