Pre-Season & Friendlies 2022/23

[Plymouth red]

Hennessy has replaced Henderson who looked to be moving gingerly as he went off. Johnson clattered by one of their players too. I hate pre-season matches.

I think it's more about it being Barnsley. Never friendly with them

I despair at some of the fans we have on twitter.

They are idiotic - minutes in legs and that is it. That said I hope we put on more of a show on Wednesday as I’m going!

[Sausage Roll]

Finished 0-0.

Not being critical and havent seen it but not many goals so far suggests we arent creating many chances? Lack of midfield options becoming apparent?

Think we really need a number 10 in soon. Zinc might not have been the greatest but his work rate was exceptional. Would really like us to get MGW done quickly as we could do with a player like that linking up the play.

As it stands we are lacking goals. No 10 is crucial to way we play and no doubt this will be sorted. Maybe not in time for August games but by Sept 1st.

Preseason means nothing- other than fitness and not getting clattered.

First time some are integrating into the team today though still building an understanding as a new back 5/6 and new front line too

I went and it was rubbish, lol the end basically. Taiwo looked and played like a lost lamb, but let's see how he does when we have a midfield. Mighten was our best player.

Yep Alex looks the sharpest of all the forwards.

Great 1v1 and has always been a talent

Yeh, wasn't impressed with Awoniyi at all. Hopefully it's a case of him settling in and having a better midfield behind him. Cafu & Hammond shouldn't be anywhere near a Prem squad.

[HebdenRed]

Have been to both Burton and Barnsley and im not panicking….but

Im not convinced at all by Taiwo. I know he’s adjusting to a new team and different game but he hasn’t really pulled up any trees in either game. He was billed as a Davis upgrade but hasn’t shown any of the pace and power I was expecting. His lower body strength is lacking and he will get eaten up by premier league centre backs…. Unless something changes

Positives
- Oli Hammond
- Biancone
- Alex M
- Scott McKenna today - rolls Royce
- And young Donelly. Thought he was a defensive midfielder but looked very comfortable at left centre back.

Yep, we need some more bodies and creativity but we’ve still got a few weeks to go.
