MApp had clearly done his homework on us. And we didn't ask any surprise questions. However, EARLY days. COYY!
PS those guns ?
Which beyond a certain point stops being luck and starts to look like a flaw in the design.
Hall is interesting. All the noise coming from Robinson on Hall is that he is in great shape etc. This can't be true though if he can't get in the squad.Winnall not had a competitive pre-season and you'd think would be some 2-3 weeks off as a minimum....Hall not in our best 18.
Exactly, managers know how we are going to play before the whistle is blown.
Atm, we have a bang average squad, after an ok window, players with something to prove.
Kr need to cut the cat and mouse antics with fans, and get in the targets they obviously know about. We're not promotion form currently, and all this talk of waiting weeks before the next signing is nonsense. You cant wait until 5 weeks into the season to finalise your best 11. Equally to go from the likes of Mous a couple of years ago, along side a Nelson or Dickie, to the present inexperienced pairing and pretend we're fine is nonense. We need an experienced CB, pace on the wings and defensive cover
Long is never a first choice as was shown today and in preseason.
This is not a sprint but a marathon, and nothing was lost at the final whistle. KR though needs more urgency in getting the complete squad together, changing the way we play and not going in the Oxmail on Monday and talking publicly about his transfer business.
Debut to forget really.
Our best defender left the club and a young inexperienced CB replaced him and so we’re going to be a bit disjointed. I’m sure he’ll come good.
“You cant wait until 5 weeks into the season to finalise your best 11“
Genuine question, do you seriously think KR would be waiting to get the best targets available at the end of the window if it was possible to get them before? In case you hadn’t noticed, there is a pandemic on and finance is more critical than ever. He is going to get the best deal possible and that may mean we have to wait until later in the window to get targets that become available at the best price - they may not currently be available.
Have a look at the establishment who set the dates for transfer windows if you’re not happy about having to wait until 5 weeks in to get who you want into the club.
Kr has said himself, there's a fair way before the window closes, so we may have to wait a while until we bring in the next one. To me, he's prepared to wait until deadline day to get the last one in. Not ideal, and to wait for a few more weeks to finalise your best 11, if it can be brought forward, especially as the usual injuries have come early, seems far more logical.
League debut then.He played against Wimbledon last week in the League Cup...
We had slow starts in both 18/19 and 19/20 in terms of points on the board. Last season we had 9 from 9; the season before it was something like 5 from 9. We then drew two and lost one of the playoffs games after restart in terms of 90/120 minute results, and have now started this season with a draw in 90 minutes against Wimbledon in the league cup and a 2-0 defeat to Lincoln. I don’t think a reserve game against a PL academy team can provide much in the way of fair and meaningful data, be it for us or any other team.Peterborough lost their first game for the second season running. Blackpool lost. Portsmouth and Sunderland drew. All of them against mid to lower table opposition.
Seems to be a flaw in the design of every team that likes to 'play' in this division.
