MaltRam Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Meh. Some bits of pacy counter attacking football. Some nice goals...and a mental last 20 with a new side on and then 10 men. Read absolutely nothing into the scoreline. Still short of 4 or 5. We'll get them over the next 4 weeks.

If the team is in danger of relegation early on I'd sack him and find someone better. I am sure you know full well what the owner has said and like last season the moaners will be wasting their breath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorsforthRam Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Happy to disregard the game after 60 mins. We were ok for about 25 mins prior. As were Barnsley who kept and moved the ball better than we did a lot of the time. If we can’t get it down the line (even if it’s tight to the touchline or congested), we look clueless. The slightest press forces a long ball. Will be painful in the championship unless we get another 4/5 in. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m desperately worried about this season now. Presumably you meant “flack”. The first four games, apart from the £5 wasted on the Chesterfield game, I’m not too bothered about. You don’t win the league in June and July. In tonight’s games there were flashes of good football but we were way too open for my liking (albeit, mostly after we’d made the changes).

That's the problem with claiming that the game would represent the tactical side of our game though. You'd think that might extend to showing us how we'd deal with going a man down? If tonight was a representation of such an event happening, it's scary how naive we were. Tamworthram, jimtastic56 and HorsforthRam 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ramtastic Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I heard Warne mention 4-2-4 wasn’t sure if that is a new formation he wants to try or was talking about the goals we have conceded? hintonsboots and MackworthRamIsGod 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a real game where the actual result mattered, you’d like to think we’d be less naive. Reggie Greenwood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 As daft as it may sound: I was reasonably pleased with the performance from what I saw - although I started watching soon after Hourihane's goal admittedly. I thought we played some really nice football in parts and you could see what the new players bring to the team. The last 30 minutes was a mess, compounded with Blackett-Taylor going off injured and us playing with 10 men. I'm no expert, but surely that's not advisable for a preseason friendly? We essentially stopped playing at that point to avoid any further injury. My only concern, really, is that we seemingly have had a very disruptive preseason in terms of games. I really think we need to use Saturday's game as test-run for our first game of the season, we need players to try and finish the 90 minutes (or as close as) but I fear that Adams and Cashin who finished today's game looked dead on their feet towards the end of the match. I'm not going to comment too much on Vickers - he's had an absolute shocker but I hope it's quickly forgotten. We were winning when wholesale changes were made and we were winning at the point Blackett-Taylor went off injured. I fear if people just focus on the result there is a lot of context missed with this game. angieram, Colour-blind, archram and 9 others 8 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valakari Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Ok..so wasnt that bad. Glad he played 4 at the back..( where was Nelson) Proves we need a new keeper, a good keeper may have saved at least 3 of the goals. CBT...is proving to be an extremely poor transfer. He gives it away when he plays or he is always injured..speaking of which, no Ward or Washington as well as Nelson??? Magicman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inter politics Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 We know that for many it will be, if we beat Blackburn, we're going up and if we lose, we're going down. Let's just enjoy the ride. LazloW, Carnero and Colour-blind 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimtastic56 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 We really do need a “Confidence Booster “ on Saturday. For fans as well as players . With all the pundits saying they will be relegated- Blackburn will come out flying a week on Friday . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s more tangible, measurable and deliverable than miracles. Also, I don’t simply mean hard work in matches, more “Hard work” in the broader sense of work on recruitment, work on the training pitch, work on tactics, work on combinations. All of that will help keep us up, won’t it? Will Hughes Hair and jimtastic56 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
