Numero Uno Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I think the team selections today are a pretty reasonable indicator of how we will line up at Hull. Tbf the performance probably shows the management have got it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero Uno Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Conway tbf is showing why he should remain here when the season starts. One or two of our other youngsters may need to get some first team minutes elsewhere for a few months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillies Downs Leeds Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 One thing I have noted from the friendlies so far is that our fitness levels are so far ahead of where we were at this stage last season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes think Conway is the most natural finisher at the club. Mmm. He gets in front of goal and finishes moves that is a fact. The interesting thing is, he and Wells look like a Championship forward line. If we keep Wells, and Mr Pearson seems pretty serious about doing it, the competition for places is going to be intense. Weimann Semenyo Martin Wells and Conway. Sykes obviously has a shot on him as well as Williams James and Bell behind who all have goals in them The midfielders look fluid and all the defenders look strong. We have barely seen Scott who nearly scored a peach in his cameo Semenyo and Kalas neither. Im looking forward to this season! Good buys with barely a fee paid and lots of potential and competition. Finally I get the impression we are building for the coming season and beyond. But please god can we start decently so the Pearson is crap brigade don’t take over too many podcasts!

Port Said Red Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I feel that people get a little panicky when they see that line up struggling for an hour against lower league opposition, but if we had to see that line up at any point this season something will have gone horribly wrong. As a group they struggled to make an impression, but I think I would be happy to see minutes from most of them in amongst the first group we saw today, Bell, Conway and Wells would all look better with someone like WIlliams making the passes, the same way they did when Scott came on. Massengo, would look better with better movement ahead of him and each of the defenders would look better along side Naismith, etc. The other positive, as others have said, we look really fit. It was great to see people like James and WIlliam's pressing in the 88th minute in 30 degree heat. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 7 hours ago, Harry said: Missed the cross for their 2nd and made Towler look like he lost his man. Klose should be dealing with that Young Taylor-Clarke missed the cross at the near post. Should’ve got a head on it. Overall it shows how although you can have 4 or 5 true outfield first teamers (Klose, Wilson, Massengo, Wells and Wilson), when you then play back-up and u23s against a well- drilled, physical side like Exeter, it’s easy for the performance levels to drop. I think a couple of players were a bit shocked by what a promoted Lg2 (now Lg1) team is all about. First 20 mins If it shows them that they haven’t made it yet, then that’s great. Young Araoye stuck at it his task, fair play to him….really grew into it. There are loads of little things I could pick apart, but there was also some good stuff in between too, it is far too easy to just pick out the negatives. It was even more feisty than the FGR game, so another good test. Moving Klose back into the centre so that he could organise either side was a good decision…food for though for Towler re a lg2 loan, who in fairness got himself together in an unfamiliar RCB3 role second half. What did show was our fitness, we finished strongly, even moving to a 433 after we got back it at 2-1, and Scott got on the ball. Exeter showed fatigue, and we got the equaliser. Klose at 2-0 down was demanding a spark from Nahki, demanding that he gave us a bit more, and he did. For me, a very worthwhile pre-season workout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negan Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 9 hours ago, Major Isewater said: Who set up both of his goals ? Wells. However Semenyo, Weimann and Sykes would have all been capable of setting them up as well. Conway stuck them both away which is the most important thing. Nahki misses far too many chances, TC is looking a lot more sharp and clinical, hence why he’d be above Wells for me at the moment. 12 months time only one of them will be here as well. Makes far more sense to bed TC in now and hopefully he can push next season as one of the 3 slots is going to open up upfront. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
