It might be the only system the squad can play but it's not the system we've recruited for and that's the rub.wmcf123 said:
It’s the only system this squad can play. It protects the defenders and it ensures the midfielders’ lack of ability is masked . It’s the smart thing to do - I don’t blame Jones for that, as much as I can’t stand himSantaClaus said:I thought NJ might abandon the new system and go back to playing 5 at the back early in the season but at this rate he'll have thrown in the towel before we face Reading.1 -
Carey finally puts in a good delivery from a corner and no one can get on the end of it1
-
TC trying to up the tempo, good to see. I know some don’t rate him but until we sign a couple of dangerous wingers he’s an important player for us.10
-
Also think it’s notable that we made a bright start in the first half, did well immediately after the drinks break and are moving it quicker here too. The players clearly take the instructions well but can’t sustain it for some reason1

That one definitely wasn’t on him, he did well to stop the initial shot but the defence have to be more aliveBedsaddick said:Two conceded . Two mistakes from Kaminski6 -
Don’t like to read too much into preseason, but this formation switch worries me until we strengthen out wide and in central midfield. Ideally need two wingers and two CMs but I’m expecting to be disappointed.8

Hahahaha
Don’t worry though it’s just preseason so nothing matters apparently 😂2 -

Great example there of that extra bit of quality lacking - Coventry sprays a nice ball over to TC, but he has to try to control with his head and loses it.
The right idea but better players weight that pass better, and read and control it better.2 -

Some of the body language and lethargy on show is frustrating but it’s pre-season so hey hum!0

Asiimwe will be lucky to get a League 2 loan based on this showing2

Everyone has known we needed two CMs and wingers since last season. Still plenty of time left but you'd would be nice to bring them in fairly soonScoham said:Don’t like to read too much into preseason, but this formation switch worries me until we strengthen our wide and in central midfield.

This is an awful watch.1
-
When we move with pace we look a bit dangerous, just need to do it more2
-
Neither of them are just mistakes by him, it's lack of awareness and anticipation from the defence.Bedsaddick said:Two conceded . Two mistakes from Kaminski2 -

Game is crying out for Kaheim Dixon.23

Leaburn makes me so damn angry sometimes, his decisions are terrible2

Would be nice to see us play some fluent football. Seems unlikely....
