There’s the problem straight away, they were pissed from the fresh kegs!!!!!!!!… old school footballers😂👍letthegoodtimesroll said:
In the end they won because they brought fresh legs on to try and win it whereas we brought fresh kegs on to give our youngsters a try out. Result aside, I suspect we were the winnersCovered_End_Lad said:Playing against arguably the best footballing side in the division above at their own game and being unlucky to lose is a very good sign.2 -

Not at all your usual standard, trying far too hard there. Must do better.2 -
McGrandles has a touch of Kinsella about him. Could be a big player for us this season.IMO we are a striker and cover at fullback short. Suspect shifting JFC will free up the wages needed to sort out those positions.Let's not forget we haven't done much in the loan market yet. Could potentially see a coue of loans and a couple of perms before the window closes.Lots to be encouraged by today.18

I reckon it was the guy in the floppy hat that was irking Garner. He was sat right behind him & was moaning at the ref, linesman and everyone else all game.LouisMend said:
And before anyone starts, No it wasn't me.12 -
I'd like to think that Garner and the management team are pretty aware of this and working behind the scenes to get a striker in.000__Jaaaaay__000 said:It is honestly Criminal we are going into the season with stockley (jury out if he suits this formation) aneke (always crocked)and leaburn (not ready) as our forward options. Have we not learnt from previous mistakes ?
If we can get that striker and a left back then i think we should do well this season.0 -
I'm really looking forward to next week now to see if we can stick to that pass and move game or will we get dragged into an Accrington type of slug fest1

Friendly results dont mean anything... But a breakdown of games played so far across the League.
Of course results should be taken with a pinch of salt as not going to research the standard of the line ups - Or opposition.
A couple of teams do also have one or two games left to play.

TBF, "forward" doesn't necessarily mean smash it 30 yards up towards Stockley through the air.
Some nice passing, still developing it, we've played it on the ground faster in other games, with more training and game time no reason why that wouldn't be the norm... Meaning the ball WILL get forward faster.

Couldn’t agree more Mendonca! Agree to disagree for sure but there’s certainly no need for that verbal abusemendonca said:

One interesting stat from that chart above is that Accrington have played a lot stronger opposition than us in their pre-season friendlies.
Leaving aside Palace, they have played against Blackburn, Stoke, Preston, Wigan and Sunderland. I wonder if that makes them a bit more battle hardened compared to us after our games mostly against teams in lower leagues?3 -
A genuine lol momentDamoNorthStand said:

Put CBT and SS on the right side and then we will be a threat. No left foot between the pair of them but pace wise all over that Swansea side3

God, can you imagine the outcry on here if we had had Sheffield Wednesdays pre season!ForeverAddickted said:Friendly results dont mean anything... But a breakdown of games played so far across the League.

Really enjoyed the game and thought we did very well to maintain the amount of possession we did. Unlike many, I think we will have plenty of goals in us this season, particularly through Payne, Fraser, Gilbey and Kirk. Just have this feeling that Garner Ball is already starting to click and making so many chances will return goals in League One. My concern is how the CBs keep making risky passes. The latter needs to be addressed and quickly…

The easy answer is don’t do it within 20 yards central of your goal. If you don’t have the players with that ability then don’t leave yourself open that unnecessary risk.Pavoren007 said:My concern is how the CBs keep making risky passes. The latter needs to be addressed and quickly…
We lose a home game by the odd goal by doing that4 -
The issue isn’t so much defenders passing out it’s having midfielders making themselves available in good positions to receive the ball and then using it effectively when they do. First half was a good example of this - if midfielders start to hide you end up in real trouble.shirty5 said:

Sorry but if a goal scorer isn't signed then we will fall sort again.7

I notice that most teams have played stronger opposition than we have - many have played Premiership teams. I'm sure we've been tested strongly by Dartford & Welling though 🙄Fortune 82nd Minute said:One interesting stat from that chart above is that Accrington have played a lot stronger opposition than us in their pre-season friendlies.

I'm calling it now - McGrandles will be Player of the Season come May

We’re not really going to be able to implement a new style of play against premier league opponents. You need weaker opposition to be able to do that.golfaddick said:

Only one way to find out who got it right though. We’ll have to find out next weekend. 👍4 -
Yes we will. But none of our players have scored in the 180 minutes we have played against league sides in friendlies. Not very promising. Garner attacking fans who want us to go forward rather than backwards when we are losing is not a very smart way to start as manager. If we lose 2 or 3 games at the start he will find himself under big pressure very quickly.RC_CAFC said:

Season hasn’t even started and we’re so negative.
I don’t know how we’ll do this season, but if you can be excited for it, what’s the point?

I'm positive if we bring in a player who can play ST/WF and a player who can cover FB/CB we will be alright
2 in 1 out I reckon (JFC) maybe Dobson let's see although I hope not.
If Dobson goes I suspect it will only be for a profit after last season.0
