The pre-season thread - 2024/25

I really don't like AA through the middle. Put him back on the right!

 

Quite like the Lemon strip. As long as we don’t play like said citrus fruit.

 

Sugawara looks the best player on the pitch at the moment.

 

Really crying out for some pace in this team. It’s so important in the premier league nowadays

 

Looked like two mid table championship sides...

 

This system is garbage. There is no width on the right except Sugawara. The width on the left is Edozie and mostly wasted. AA totally anonymous through the middle. Our most creative midfielder is Stephens - and that is not a compliment. Still look very slow all over the pitch and we have nobody who wants to take a risk around the area.

Otherwise it was a cracking half...

 

Sounds suspiciously like the same things being played out that we should have learnt last season.

 

You forgot to mention how slow Taylor is.
Too many passes sideways and backwards and nobody receiving the ball and turning with it. It’s crying out for Charly, Dibling and Sam Amo to give us some creativity.

 

Was thinking the same.

 

Edozie on the right now and presumably Manning to give us width on the left

 

Leniency from the ref

 

That half time change, does that mean Woods ahead of Edwards?

 

Smallbone and Aribo are lining up in wider midfield positions this half giving Downes and Stephens no forward pass option through the middle

 

If we don’t make a couple of significant signings, might put a tenner on 20th…

 

Should have scored Joe

 

1-0 Arma,

 

Amo providing some amo

 

Can we get lots of gifts like that in the Prem?

 

Who scored for us?

Ah Adarma.

 

Sam Amo involved in the goal build up, putting Smallbone in to cross the ball
