    Once again more negatives than positives. No pace in the team at all (especially midfield and centre back). No width and zero creativity in the centre of the park.

    Our number 1 and number 2 goalkeepers are seemingly out the door and imo will both need to be replaced.

    By my reckoning the squad is short of the following:

    x2 Goalkeepers

    x1 CB

    x2 CM (one holding and one creative) Nothing that Crofts or Foley have done leads me to believe they are worth signing.

    X1 Genuine Winger

    Once Watt goes X2 Strikers

    I doubt we'll get half of those.

    I don't know what sort of team Anzhi put out but if they are a Top flight Russian team i don't think much of them...but as people have said it's pre-season.

    that was never a free kick our player cleared the ball and the Anzhi player fell over his legs, Mitov should've done better as they never looked like scoring from free play, but hey ho mistakes happen and its a pre season lets keep it in perspective

    Yup agreed. I'd be inclined to give Crofts more game time though.

    Omg!!!! It's only a friendly, a match fitness exercise and we went up to 92nd minute 0-0 against a decent Russian side! A young keeper makes a mistake so what

    92nd minute free kick straight down Mitov's throat and he lets it go through his legs. Schoolboy error.

    Probably because he is one

    A 0-0 would've been an alright result if we had looked like creating anything but we didn't all game. There was no creativity at all.

    We will struggle to score goals unless we sign some creative midfielders.

    We are now 3 games into pre-season. I would expect to start seeing a discernible pattern of play by now - going forward I've seen nothing.

    All we are hearing are stories about players leaving.

    It may well only be a pre-season friendly, but we should be starting to see the team improve and evolve. We are at best treading water and our "style" of play at the moment appears ponderous and lacking imagination. Unfortunately, when your midfield consists of Foley, Jackson and Crofts ponderous is what you are going to get. Ideally you wouldn;t want more than one of those in your starting line-up.

    You say it like he has a majority choice!
    He may have had he's quota of selected players!

    You will not, they will all have left and you will have three under 21 players

    As I said earlier Clem I'd be amazed if Slade has mentioned phases of play let alone worked on them. See where we are in 10-14 days

    Next year they should spend the whole pre-season behind closed doors and save everyone the aggro

    Being sold to Burnley for half of a twix, probably.

    Slade said he's nowhere near fit after Bromley, maybe he feels he would be better off playing the second game instead, or maybe he's being sold

    Watched the game on my phone at work. It was that dull my work rate actually went up.

    Meaningless game and can't think of anything that can be taken from it, certainly nothing that can be taken with optimism. Just a bit more fitness at the end of the day and doesn't really tell us anything or represent ice of how we are going to play come the season.....but then we said the same last pre season and look how that turned out. Here's hoping Slade can get them going when it counts.

    Spot on. Slade is no mug. It's not Slade that I am worried about. It's the 3 mugs in charge.

    Agree thought he was MOM but he didnt have much competition based on performances elsewhere on the pitch.

    "That was shit Rog"

    "Fuck you"

    Great team spirit there


    Amazes me how no one clumps Johnson. I don't know what he's like off the pitch and if it's all just said in the heat of the moment but on the pitch from what i've read this pre season he seems a total prick. Wouldn't mind if he was actually decent, but he's probably our worst defender.
