Kingswoodactor Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Would rather we played 4-2-3-1, like we did for much of the 2nd half of last season. Surprised Wilbs started, I would have had Bryan in there next to Tomlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, its difficult to gauge the game from a few tweets now and then. Anyway, its a training match against much higher opposition so I'm not expecting us to dictate the game.. Absolutely, it's pure conjecture from me. I guess we'd all like to see a system evolve where Tomlin is involved as much as possible though?

This is why I don't like games like these against better and bigger clubs as part of pre-season. LJ won't learn a lot other than we aint as good as them. 3-0 now............. I agree with you to some extent. It's hard to please everyone though.. some complain our pre-season opponents are too easy some years and don't provide a challenge, at this stage it's about regaining match fitness. But of course, you don't want to get hammered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobArnold10 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Whilst in not getting too downbeat about this score against a pretty reasonable opposition, I am a little concerned that LJ seems to want to play this diamond 4-4-2. Played it towards the end of last season and I didn't think it suited our players. Still, it's all early doors and there's still players to come in which will probably get rid of the nagging concern!

JoeAman08 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 If we want to be challenging for the premier league then it's not a great score. Granada aren't far off the Spanish second tier so I wouldn't say it's a big gap in quality but can't read too much into it as its a different style of football than the boys are used to. Rather them see something different and have it in mind for the season. Only helps everyone grow. Plus it's the first game for the CBs together.

stephenkibby. Posted July 20, 2016 Author 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 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...

EnderMB Posted July 21, 2016 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...
