Alex_BCFC Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 1 hour ago, mozo said: So the big question... Should we be concerned? Just a friendly, minutes in legs, not our strongest 11. But equally that's the highest ranking opponent we will play ahead of Coventry. And they're a rival! Should anyone ever care about a friendly? Not really. I think we will do poorly, not because the players are bad, but because of the manager...but stranger have happened... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Realistically only the Coventry game matters. Of course it would be good to win next week & I am sure Holden knows he needs to start well, but with 5 on international duty, 2 others definitely out & Baker possibly so, that team is not going to be anything like the one that starts the league season. It looks like we are trying to add another 2 defenders, so if that is the plan we need to do so by Coventry, giving the squad we intend to go with in 20/21 as much chance of gelling. Today really didn’t matter, next week doesn’t much, but focus on September 12th when it properly starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would very much depend on how each team have been trained and what has been focused on. Listening to that interview they have overloaded on fitness to the point of fatigue to ensure they are at the fitness levels they want to be at at seasons start not in a friendly game against Swindon.

One in and the loanees out. If we plan to bring in a few fresh faces then let's not take as long as the recruitment of Holden. I cannot see how Holden with the same squad is going to out perform last season. Let's hope the irons in the fire are hot and have not melted Pereira should be announced tomorrow or Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel we still need 4 new players 2 strikers 1 big un and a poacher 1 RWB/RB and 1 ball playing CH Not forgetting an experienced manager :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Looked and - from the 2 seconds of highlights- seemed to play like a lightweight Lee Johnson side. Sure our ‘breath of fresh air’ Holden will sort this out in the next few days through some vigorously researched, DNA-tested, injury-free signings to add some shape and physicality to our play.

Today really didn’t matter, next week doesn’t much, but focus on September 12th when it properly starts. Usually relatively optimistic but it’s all a bit underwhelming I think, the whole manager scenario was not good ( an understatement) and now we already have 8 out next week and at least 3 out of the first real game, including our new signing with an immediate injury , couldn't make it up ! I hope we can get a couple in , but not sure will be anything sensational , at the moment fair to say need convincing Sincerely hope proved wrong , we will see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Swindon’s goal. My comment earlier didn’t age well did it Too far off his man, and allowed him back onto his left peg. In fairness, because I am fair (), I think Rowe, got caught under the initial ball too. Not that he could win it, but his positioning meant the first Swindon player could pick a “lay-off”. All these little things. Better to get them out of the way in a friendly....hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If LJ had said it, he would of been hammered I don’t think we would have slated LJ if he explained it like Holden did. Most of us on here seem to totally understand it and the context Holden gave us. LJ has said plenty of things even in jargon that haven’t got slated. Pre-season training has a purpose. To prepare you for a football season. You use pre-season to build up your stamina and reserves....so you can play Sat/Wed/Sat (repeat) without having to keep working on fitness in between games. 1 minute ago, And Its Smith said: You’re entitled to your opinion but on this occasion it seems to be based on a lack of knowledge.

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Two genuine CMs with Paterson is better balance than Paterson-Weimann-AN Other but still not wholly convinced. Think there will be a fair bit of mixing and matching within the basic back 3 framework? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
