It really is a completely different thing to competitive football. West Ham lost 3-0 to Rubin today, Norwich went down 3-1 at Dukla Prague. Yesterday Sheff Utd lost 2-0 at Halifax, Leicester laboured past Oxford and Birmingham lost at Shrewsbury And Burton beat Stoke 3-0 on the weekend, with Reading losing 4-1 to Lincoln I trust Dukla Prague were in their away kit?

EmersonsRed Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Our first real test of pre-season, Granada technically a very good side - comfortably beat Bilbao last season, did the double over Europa league winners Sevilla. They're no mugs, would've been good for some of our lads to see how they play. Not sure if any have experience in Spain. Good run out for the boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club and Country Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Whenever I start to take pre season results seriously I remember when leyton orient beat Newcastle 7-1 (who were in turmoil) after being relegated they then got promotion , nothing to concern ourselves with pre season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Just got back :laugh: always wanted to say that . First city had chances. Kodjia looked really lively. Second half city chasing shadows. But watching Granada live how they pass and move was fantastic. I would say about 100 150 city out here . Really enjoyed watching the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dread to think how some would cope with a 'Real Life' crisis! All due to Twitter updates until late in the thread Good week away, Some good game time, team bonding, nailing down some objectives, tinkering with selection, lots of learning about players and some sun on they're backs.

stephenkibby. Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Granada a class above us. No shame in the defeat, but playing Jimmy and Wilbs plus Tomlin behind left us very narrow. Granada were playing3 at the back with the wing backs pushing on, lost count of the times they worked the ball through midfield to the right,drew us across then hit 45 yard passes to the opposite side. As good as they were they didn't make a hatfull of chanches. For us was impressed with Brownhill got a good touch bit of pace and doesn't mind a tackle. He smashed into one challenge and was maybe lucy to get away with a yellow!! I thought the Icelandic lad did ok seeing as he only arrived 2 days ago. O.Dowda didn't get much of a chance to run at them but kept going. All in all strange line up with two up front when most things point to us playing with one when the season starts. Anyway as I said Granada easy on the eye, quick of feet and mind. Don't think we will play a better side this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingswoodactor Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Johnson just said in post match interview that the only reason for playing the diamond midfield was to get two strikers on the pitch, so that they can get as many minutes out on the pitch as possible pre-season. He hinted as much that it wasn't going to be the way forward. I fully expect us to start 4-2-3-1 against wigan in 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSSEL85 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Good workout for the lads and we did ok. This game was very much the equivalent of playing Swansea away, good passing team, were not going to beat them but we will give them a game.

EnderMB Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I like to see us playing games against better opposition, because it gives players the chance to see where the bar is. It's safe to say that Granada are probably going to be as strong as the best team we're likely to face this year, and if we are able to at least be competitive with a team like this then we're probably in good stead for the upcoming season. It's a loss, but it sounds like there are positives, and in a pre-season friendly in another country that's pretty good going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
