Another fairly poor match, following the preceding warm-ups doesn't bode well for the coming season (not that personal expectations are high for this year anyway). And with Idah AWOL, missing the match squad and 'to be disciplined by the club', suggests to me he'll be out the door pending a suitable offer. Though he'll be wise to look at Toddy's situation at Rangers and be careful.
Southwell on the goal: "St Pauli is given a free header to waltz onto a corner and power it into the net. Really poor defending. 1-0."
With Sara out of the squad (& Sorensen at CB) we look thin in midfield. There's no senior central midfielders on the bench as far as I can see, and the academy midfielders are back with the U21s
I’m at the game otherwise I would have switched off. we are getting completely outdone by the formation. They’re playing a 3-4-3, we are leaving Sargent Sainz and Rowe high but that means that Gibbs and Nunez are having to mark the wide midfielders who are hugging the touchline leaving us completely outnumbered in the middle of midfield
I c I can’t believe how empty it is for the final pre season game, kind of glad for how poor that first half was
