It’s worrying when we lose to side 4 divisions below us. Poor performance today from Town.

Is it? I’m not worried and I’m guessing the majority of level headed supporters feel the same , it’s a run out very early in pre season and I’ve forgotten about it already. Please get a grip.

You are just a troll. Nothing more. Has to be surely? You literally cannot be serious?

This troll gets fed too easily. He does it for a reaction. Why react?

Cooks been found out again. Their manager knew we’d make 11 changes so he only made a few and kept continuity. We’re doomed. Jesus get a grip. It’s a meaningless friendly ffs

Glad we got an important 45 minutes into star man Connor Cook’s legs today

So, forget the result after just a few days training -

1. Did Dunkley look to be ok?

2. Was MacFadzean comfortable on the left of him?

3. Did the new signings appear to be capable of improving us?

4. Were any of the trialists worth another look?

1) Yes

2) Yes

3) Yes

4) The CM first half definitely but I don’t think he’s an improvement on what we already have there.

Lovely day out as always....apart from the game!

Stirk looked OK. None of the trialists impressed and we definitely need some pace at the back!

Griggs goal and a mazy run by Dobs were the only real highlights for us.

Early days though, better test will be when we keep what may be our first 11 on the pitch against Forest etc.

Didn't see Mandy, Coco or Madden....

Yeah for all 3

The centre mid definitely worth another look, Striker was crap but we’re in a situation where we’ve got 2 good centre forwards so it’s finding someone who’s happy to be 3rd choice

McFadzean, Dunkley and Hemming all very vocal and all organisers. McFadz better at diagonal balls from the left hand side than Grimes. Defence was in control in first half, less said about 2nd half the better. Right back still an issue though.

The lad who played up top definitely not. The one in midfield maybe rather than my outright 'no', agreed.

1. Yes
2. Yes but not sure about the lack of pace
3. Keeper yes, stirk a good player, Lewis can cross a ball, markandy looks a good player (🤭)
4. No.

Rotten defence like last season. Looks like we will have to win by outscoring the opposition as there is no clean sheets at all in this lot

Only way you can win you fool

The word is entitled you moron, and you have used up your entitlement for this season before it's started, so keep your fingers away from any keyboard.

Good to see the new lads. Thought we were steady bar the bad mistakes and considering the long dry pitch

I know it’s pre season etc - but our Achilles heel the last three or four years has been mistakes at the back gifting goals.


Has the habit of over playing rather than, when it’s the right time to do so, to put the boot through the ball been engrained a bit deep?


I’m fully behind cookie, I love his brand of football and if your a betting man both teams to score has some good returns Btw
