VladimirWeiss69 791 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Cardoso looked very good but I think bates was the main problem, still young enough to develop but I would not trust him in a game against the top 4-5. Alves should improve us massively. Really good to see rossiter playing, please don't get injured again ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibroxholm 2,260 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Shouldn't really place any credence on a preseason practice game but slightly worrying that you can still run a coach and horses through our defence.  Although we dominated throughout, Coleraine had some excellent chances which if they had taken, may have been a bit embarrassing.  Not a great favourite with me but thought Holt was the standout, looked very sharp.  Kranjcar looked classy but, on evidence of this showing, willl need others around him to makeup for his lack of pace and work rate.  Thought Windass looked sharp and busy also when he came on. Cant say I was greatly impressed by either of our Portugese recruits but far to early to make any firm judgements. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although that might be the only standard he can score against. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HashPizza 198 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Just watched the game there and already I can't wait to see Rossiter back playing, I know they say on here a player gets better the more he's out but he's winning balls all over the park, coupled with Pena and Dorrans our midfield looks ten times better than last year! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I wouldn't be too worried about how our defence looked in our first pre-season game. Particularly when we played two different teams across 3 periods of play. It was nothing more than a workout. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat 4,511 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I haven't read the entire thread so apologies f already posted but has anyone got a video clip of the goals they could share on RM?

andy500 463 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Cardoso seemed a bit shaky to me when tested defensively. But it's one game, it's a friendly and the first of the season. Not going to get too worried. He was assured on the ball and seemed to communicate well. Dalcio was probably our poorest player on the day, but again it's early days. I thought Jack, Rossiter, Windass, Tavernier and McKay all had great games. Kranjcar's passing is unbelievable at times, if we can fit him in the team and find a way to use that ability it will be a massive asset. Pedro seems like the kind of manager who will assess our opponent and pick a squad who can exploit their weaknesses and combat their strengths. He has a lot of midfield/attacking options and hopefully he'll make smart use of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
