    I think the issue is it is every bloody time. No variation whatsoever hence teams press us. Hopefully we vary things this coming season.

    We're looking quite sharp at this stage of pre season. Bodes well for the start of the season.

    Keep forgetting Jobe is only 18, the lad could be a very very good player

    I think we look good. Repeatedly winning the ball high up the pitch and our attacks are quick and dangerous. The midfield 3 of Neil, Browne and Jobe works well. Mayenda really impressing me, needs to be more composed in the box though, should've scored near the start.

    Some really good football from us, it’s a bit like ground hog day tho missing that clinical goal scorer. Brown looks a great signing.

    I hope that was offside. I’d backed us to be ahead at HT <laugh>

    Decent half of football that for a pre season game. Good pressing from us, good tempo to our play. Brown looks a quality addition. Patto distributing the ball quickly as well

    I dont think they would just go into the starting line up, its all about having the squad for a long hard season and still feel we will be in trouble if Neil gets injured

    Browne will cover there if he is but feel hes so much better going forward

    I will say that this game is giving me awful flashbacks of our League One years. Blackpool sitting deep and just launching the ball at every opportunity. Grim.
