    If Wimbledon had been the Championship side and us the League one, you would have said it was a comfortable win against lower league opposition. Only Leaburn did himself justice.

    Leaburn was atrocious yesterday?

    Honestly not wanting to start a pile on regarding Miles but in all seriousness if he doesn’t show a massive improvement this season how many more do we wait in the hope that it happens ?

    They need to decide what type of striker they want him to be, as in do they want him to be more of a box player or someone linking the play and accepting not scoring as many?  I think he is caught between the two and doing neither good enough.

    He’s not a hold up player or number nine, despite his build. He needs to be running onto balls or getting crosses infront of him.

    All pre season games should be behind close doors…. Cause today fans are must win at all costs and in a world of failure or success they are not use to the old Testimonial type games and that how these were played  and the lack of importance they just don’t get ..

    So everyone can play shit, show no ambition to prove you should be in the team and still expect to be picked? Nobody on here has mentioned the result it was the type of performance which looked like the majority couldn’t give a fuck, leading to proving what most of us think we need and in turn discussing it.

    Obviously psf should be about getting some fitness and trying new styles / players and I suppose our have met that purpose but has anyone noticed Wrexham played Man Utd last week and Leeds this week I suggest a slightly different approach lol

    Never one to be too bothered by pre season but we are clearly mincing around as a club and have a swuad that has relegation written all over it .
    all well and good trying to progress budget wise on a minge of a budget but unless you spend the bucks the chickens  will come home to roost eventually and we dodged the bullet last year but we may not be as lucky this season .
    why bother owner a club if you’re just happy to guff around bottom of championship at best 
    Totally agree - the window has been extremely disappointing and a lot needs to happen in the next 2/3 weeks - fleming talking about grant and macnamara missing half a pre season and the consequences - doesn't strike me as good planning / ideal window - sick of having half arsed owners - apparently we should be grateful they aren't as bad as the last lot etc. I get that but doesn't mean i'm happy when other clubs have owners who invest significantly more. Weren't impressed last year when it was said they get more excited about the women's team. THey need gto startr getting excited about the mens team and start opening their wallets. We've brought in the punts and the cover, lets now have some much needed and much talked about quality - all down to the owners stumping up now.
