ExiledAjax Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Any info on Meerholz? OS just says he's a midfielder in the U21s. Not heard the name before I don't think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfc01 Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Should be a competitive game, no walk over like previous games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Scott starts then but won't feature in the game later. Should we read anything into this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so personally. I think Saturdays game will be more of an indication on whose playing first game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounded like a "friendly" as in as much as if we played the sags Lots of strong heavy tackles that Exeter were not expecting 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hocca Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Can’t help but feel that’s Pearson current ‘second’ team, with Scott included due to a near transfer. Only one that doesn’t maybe add up is Dickie as you feel he has to be starting against Preston. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surpised if Cornick is ahead of Sykes and Mehmeti ahead of Bell, as well as Dickie of course 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one that doesn’t maybe add up is Dickie as you feel he has to be starting against Preston. Think Zak and Dickie will be partnered at Portsmouth. Think part of the thinking for time being whilst we are light in that position is to have a senior pro next to a young centre half. Rather than leaving two young lads exposed. The team tonight probably picks itself now: O’Leary Tanner Araoye Vyner Roberts James Williams Weimann Cornick Conway Mehmeti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bells form too puts him in with a shout. Scott playing only means that nothing is lined up atm. Saturday will be a good indication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah play him with the second team on a better quality pitch to reduce the chance of injury maybe? More of a first team later to get minutes together?

Maybe although had a small leaning towards if a move was further away be would be starting at Cheltenham. Dunno the exact logistics but easier to have him here rather than in an away friendly if there is a breakthrough. 1 minute ago, BCFCOFSWEDEN said: Hope Naismith plays tonight!

Alessandro Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) That team still feels like Pearson is mixing things up and getting minutes into legs more than anything. But....there are some clear patterns emerging of players often/always in same team/combinations though in his selections: 1) Bell and Wells - was and Cornick (swapped today) 2) Mehmeti and Conway - was and Sykes (swapped today see above) 3) James and Knight and Weimann (first choice midfield?) 4) Scott has been in the 'second' choice midfield of Williams (Meerholz today) and King Defence harder to read...but IMO he's paired Dickie and Pring this aftetnoon (likely left side option) and will pair Vyner and Tanner tonight (likely right side pair) although we'll see if McCrorie is back yet and they may change, my guess is he's out still.
