RoystonFoote'snephew Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Decent work out for a 3-3 draw or a 4-2 win for us (depending on your preference) as we loaned them Marlee Francois for the final 30 minute period. I can never get too worked up about pre-season results though as good pre-season's have sometimes led to mediocre seasons and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 The results of these preseason games are meaningless but what Nige and his coaches are looking for is how individuals perform and how various shapes might work. They're training matches but against different opponents rather than internal games against each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 We were much better after the first drinks break around 25 mins in. We actually built through the midfield and that made a difference. Pluses and Minuses in the 90 for me were: O’Leary - poor kicking (again) Baker - don’t think he had a particularly good game, and didn’t cover Atkinson enough when he had to help Nurse. Nurse - found it a difficult afternoon versus Harness Vyner - never got going, sloppy first time ball back to Moore which he shanked Palmer - really energetic, ball didn’t run for him first half, but stuck at it and made things tick. James - contributes at both ends of the pitch, and very good from set-pieces (threatening) Janneh - came on and did some good things down the left a fair few average performances or bits of good and bad. A bit disappointing overall, but not about results. We will see whether we are making progress on Saturday v MKD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most encouraging aspects for me were 90 energetic minutes from Palmer - he’s definitely improved his fitness - and James pulling the strings from midfield, including hid dead ball work.

I thought he had a poor opening 45 mins, better second half. Let’s not forget he’s had a very long time out, and trying to find his touch whilst going through a gruelling pre-season. Weimann a bit the same….but he’s not lost his energy at all….incredible stamina. Very good finish too. 11 minutes ago, Lordofthebling said: We are looking worryingly reliable on Nakhi...

Fair comment about the amount of time he’s been out , you could see he was getting frustrated with himself when he miss controlled or played a poor pass .

Although I completely agree its definitely not a key indicator of how the season will pan out but it did show plenty of issues which are a continuation of last season. Not enough players showing for the ball, too slow up top, finding it difficult to play out of our half and hoofing the ball in urgency and not winning the second ball. All things that against better opposition when the season gets going will need to be stamped out or we will see alot of play in our half and chasing shadows most of the time. That being said Matty James has shown his class and goes someway in us being a threat on set pieces and his switch of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semenyo has a great touch and can dribble with the ball often drifting past a couple of players. Semenyo learnt how to play when he was 18 and it shows. The game comes naturally to Janneh as if he's been doing it all his life. Both are good athletes, both need to improve but Janneh is superior where it matters - between the ears.

Off the top of my head, Rotherham and Birmingham last season and I can recall at least two other games but forget the opponents. He’s guilty of ball watching far too often and is too soft for this level IMO. Both Vyner and Moore need to improve fast if they’re to carve a career out at this level or above, and I don’t actually think there’s too much between them. It’s just one is a scapegoat, the other’s a local lad who’s cut some slack. I’d get rid of them both if we could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isnt good enough for the championship and we need to move him on, Vyner is a better defender and decent 4th choice but Moore just hasn't developed, As you say he keeps making costly mistakes and they seem to be the same mistakes as well, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Pearson is successful here, by which I mean improve on Lee Johnson and get to the playoffs as a minimum, I don't expect either player to be a first choice, if they're still here. Both are good lads but, for me, too soft, too passive. Where we're trying to go under Pearson requires players made of the right stuff mentally, just as much as physically.

I said it months ago and I'll keep saying it, I'm convinced KP is going to have a real breakthrough season this year and prove a lot of people wrong! Pearson has shown he was a big fan of KP starting him in pretty much every game he was fit for since he came in. The two things KP needed imo was a proper preseason like this one to get fully fit and a manager to play him consistently in a system that suits him. Looks like he's hopefully done the first now for NP to hopefully provide the second..... The Dave Rennie signing and being overlooked for the Gold Cup with Jamaica could be the making of Kasey!
