Northern Red Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 Also worth bearing in mind that most of the players did 90 minutes in one or other of the games on Tuesday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah fair point. I'm just a believer in wins and results bring the confidence. 3 minutes ago, Numero Uno said: As an example, if Williams gets crocked after 15 minutes next week then somebody else needs to be ready. Also if Williams gets crocked in the last 15 of this one and is out for 12 weeks we are all moaning about why did he need to be kept on to win a "meaningless" friendly at Bournemouth. It's that simple in pre=season.........a very useful kickabout nothing else. This is fair too. Last thing we'd want is any needless injuries. Otoh if we hold on to win or even draw despite the changes, that would do something for confidence and depth!

However as a final game for us to get the sharpness needed for next week I think we couldn't have picked a much better fixture tbh. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Results / performances are completely immaterial, but it’s a 5/6 “process”. I’d say it’s gone pretty near perfect. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad replacement to bring on tbh! Worried a bit about the subs but "Yes Williams- you come off, got to make sure you're tip top for the new season- Massengo ex Monaco etc, ON!" Lots of energy, promise, room for growth- decent bench option to have. Edited July 23, 2022 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he gets a chance he needs to take it. I think he will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Wow- we did it! Even held on after the changes- happy I was wrong! Good win that, strong way to sign off pre-season too- nothing else to be said really. Younger players who came on the final half hour should also have gained some confidence/experience.

Major Isewater Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 A very positive preseason, hopefully the players like Scott, Semenyo and Massengo etc can see that the potential is here for a very enjoyable season. We are progressing. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
