Spike Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 Real shame we didn't see any defending/chances in the highlights as the goals we conceded were dismal defending and I'd liked to have seen how we performed apart from those in a defensive capacity. When going forward the goals showed we seem to be more focused on attacking through the middle as well as the wings which is promising too. All in all the highlights showed we've got a great attack coming forward and still are capable of holding onto the ball at the back a little too long. I look forward to seeing a match where we can watch the full 90 minutes and see how the defense is doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that Dickie played LCB2 whereas Araoye (left footed) played RCB2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 Our first looked like an oggy or is my eye sight showing it’s undoubted age. Our second looked like comedy defending by a bloke who thought he was better than he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our second looked like comedy defending by a bloke who thought he was better than he is. Very generous debut goal for Knight, but in the absence of official PA Media, he gets a “1” in the goal column! Very brief highlights but glad in those snippets we saw exactly what he gives us over our other midfielders (bar Andi)….third-man runs, pressing and always on the move. The goal was a great pattern, ball goes square / back a bit to King, defenders push up, Knight funds the other way…first time pass from King around the corner. The other goal where he robbed the defender, earlier in that sequence, he dummied the pass and darted in behind. 37 minutes ago, W-S-M Seagull said: Vyner looked to be at fault for both of the goals.

Vyner gets a touch trying to block the shot. Maybe could’ve done a bit better to block. goal 2 - poor bouncing pass from King (unnecessarily sloppy) which Williams mis-controlled and lost in our area. Not sure Vyner is at the root of that goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt as if Vyner was very lazy in trying to block the 1st goal. For the 2nd goal he unmarks the goal scorer and then just stands around not knowing what to do as others try to mark the goal scorer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - analysing the game of two difference teams with a different 11 each a half is hilarious especially against a club that are in a Mickey Mouse division that hardly anyone knows. It was a training exercise for the City players to stretch their legs - nothing more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRedRobin Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 Good start to pre-season but need to carry this on throughout the whole pre-season schedule to get the players in top condition for the start of the season. I don't tend to look into pre-season games to much because you can have a good pre-season and start the real season of poorly but nevertheless a nice win and I hope we can keep this going.

That is very true to be fair. Vyner looked pretty annoyed about the goals so I don't think it's a crime to mirror that reaction so long as it's proportionate. I'm sure the players will be more on it as we approach the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many on here that are so happy clappy that they are frightened to make any criticism, no matter how small. I just thought most people on here had some appreciation for the process of pre-season, to not take too much stock of what happens…at least in early games where it’s about getting minutes into the legs, shape, new players, etc. As for the happy clappers too frightened to criticise, Where did you balance it with some praise (no matter how small) for anything good that might’ve come out of today. Or are you too frightened also? Doesn’t it work both ways? 12 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
