    aye I’m not watching but three goals conceded after 20 mins isn’t screaming “Batth needs to start” to me. And I think Batth is our best centre back.

    Nectar has been all over to be fair positionally and there is no CM who knows how and when to take the ball on the half turn from the centre halfs

    Nectar is being too aggressive for me, needs to learn when to challenge and when to stand off

    Huggins n rigg are really struggling in the middle.

    I doubt he’s ever played a worse 25 minutes in his life.

    Seems like we don't have the strength in depth that we thought we had

    Isn't this what pre-season is all about, the manager learning what and what not to expect from his players?

    I am not sure what the point is tonight though.

    I wouldn't have scheduled it in. We don't have the squad to put out two teams that's competitive.

    It is, he needs to know which players you can and cant trust. Itll be interesting what the reaction will be as thats what TM will be looking for
