Pre-Season Friendlies 2023/24

[Joe Baker Legend]

Shelvey makes a good save

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Look a shambles at the back already. Decent save

[Salvatore Matrecano]

I honestly don’t want to slag us off but its like we have no idea to play 3 at the back. Eintracht overloading on our left side, Worrall and Boly miles off the pace, Aina nowhere to be seen covering ambling back from half way line.

[nffc93]

We are all over the place at the back. Jeez!

[JollyLolly]

Looks poor again, so slow and unsure back 3 and lacking any procession in midfield, 25 mins in no meaningful attack of shot on goal.

[Mcforest]

The defence and central midfield is fast becoming a serious worry. I take it we have sold Yates but decided to let another player use his shirt during games.

[Redreg]

Without , Filipe or Moussa at the back we look a shambles , Midfield doesn’t look too bad moving the ball ok just not enough outlets up the pitch . Serge is not a wing back !! Aina needs to be at RB . Need Elanga on the Left Johnson on Right and MGW as the false 9

It's like hughtonball, maybe worse.. we look crap, zero improvement, you may say we need the players, but we should still be training to play a way with new players. This is all over the shop every game has

[audiosmee]

So deep and with 3 CB and 2 FB. There is such a huge amount of space between The back and the front. We need to play 4 at the back and allow a 6 and 2 8s

[Mist From The Trent]

Can only echo what others have said. It's a shambles, like watching Hughton. How many clear cut chances have we had in the whole of pre season? Depressing to watch.

We did that last year and lost about 10 games in a row?

Like it or not this tactic was more effective at containing other teams.
