    I wouldnt say nothing gained, its all about minutes in the legs and they've got good hard minutes in the legs in this heat. Agreed its been a poor performance, Alese has looked decent but thats about it, Clarke a lot more effective once he was moved out wide

    Even though it will have cooled down a bit, I'm very surprised how many look like they are going to get 90mins.

    To give players minutes, plus the likes of Embleton, Onien, Baath, Gooch, Alese, Clarke and Matete will play a lot this season

    Or the flip side of the coin it’s to get the squad familiarity of playing together.

    hopefully this will up the urgency on getting more players in

    Not great in difficult conditions but Bradford looked a lot sharper

    Haven't been watching the match, the lineup looks like we went for minutes on the pitch for some of the lads over looking for a result?

    What did we learn from that...

    Our reserves are not good enough..

    Recruitment needs to be stepped up

    Not the best viewing experience tonight. Crap stream and the performance wasn't much better. No idea on the temperature but I bet if was bloody hot. Game time for those that needed it but I never like it when we get beat. Roll on Accy

    Recruitment will get it right - they've proven now they know what they are doing.

    Everyone keeps saying the reserves arent good enough but the 2 worst players on the pitch for us imo were Gooch and O'Nien - senior players

    Agreed, both were shocking. O'Nien needs Evans alongside him to be effective. His movement to get on the ball is shocking.

    Too many brought in at once against tougher opposition than anyone expected, Bradford were typical of the sort of team we have struggled against in the past, it was a big ask of the players , especially those who have played less than 45 mins previous, none of them, let us down imo. OaU.
