Camshy 812 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Obviously delighted that the team progress to the next round and I thought we had been looking sharp in the friendly games but I can't help but feel a little nervous over our creative ability in the wide areas. Jones looks quick but no where near as good as either Candeias or Kent. Ojo looks as if he will be dangerous and I'm not sure how much game time Hastie will get but it's looking likely only one wide player will be playing in the games. Every team we face will no doubt have 10 behind the ball and our excellent midfield need those runners put wide to open things up.........do we need a little more quality in the wide areas or am I just over worrying things here ? I'm excited for the new season but just wonder about that creative spark in the teams wide areas. OrangeRab and berkshirebear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team is basically the same as it was at the end of last season Aribo aside, the first XI hasn’t really improved. We’ve added four new wide players and its difficult at this moment in time to say there’s any great step up in quality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,714 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Early days. We're creating better and more chances than we often did last season against teams that parked the bus. Tonight we'd plenty chances. The problem again is that we're not clinical enough and can lack composure at the final moment - that's what needs to improve. magic8ball 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's important to mention areas we need improved when players move on, we all know they have gone but has the quality gone from that area too given we have brought players in , we can only compare them to what we had before so it's natural we are going to mention previous players.

When you are talking about being closer to winning the league than last season you are obviously going to mention players you've lost from last season, deary me HG5, Camshy, ForeverAndEver and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 We don't look any better than we did last season (yet) IMO. Brought in a few players but they've all yet to show that they can take us up a level. The hardon for Aribo already is embarrassing given he's yet to play a competitive game against full time opposition.

We all want Kent back mate but until that happens we need to support players like Jones. Look, Arfield & Defoe didn't exactly gel tonight but they will at other times..... just not tonight. We didn't have a left winger tonight and the one time Borna tried to beat someone down the line was laughable. HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanjo 26,328 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 We have not improved in my opinion. If anything a little worse.

tannerall 25,935 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Missing Lafferty too, added the unexpected last season as in what's the fucker going to do next, chase along ball to the corner flag or knock it on to an upcoming missing midfielder, or punt it skyward from 30 yards.........
