Some nice passing but bit sloppy at times.
Not convinced at fish at left sided center back and Robertson still isn't a 10 for me
Yeh definitely not the same intensity as the last game.
Criminal to think we still don’t have a left back.
Good first 20 odd minutes for King in that defensive midfield position.
Bit of a 4-1-4-1 formation.
Yes pick of the bunch for me so far.Quote:

Bagan with Giles as back up?Quote:

Is he?
Bagan’s an option but the fact we’re playing a youth player out of position instead of Giles isn’t a good sign.Quote:

A reason Garnacho is surplus at Man U.
Willock just needs moving on though.
Hmmm certainly not in the position he’s playing at the moment. Hoping this is the season he comes good.Quote:

Yeah I agree. But we are clearly having to make do under this ownership other than cheap options.Quote:

Beautiful ball by King over the top.
Salech cool as you like.
0-1
Composed after not having many touches first half. Perfect striking play.Quote:

I have some reasonable optimism for this season. If we make signings in the right place, we could go right back up.
Let's not forget that on paper, our squad looked at minimum mid-table last season in the Championship, it just fell apart because of morale, attitude and a lack of quality in terms of player choices (and Riza being out of his depth). I think we've trimmed a lot of the fat, kept the majority of the quality players and could be serious contenders for champions.
Some might not like we're playing League 2 teams mostly, but it's a good way to build back up the confidence lost over last season.
BBM been a very pleasant surprise so far. Obviously, what matters is the season itself, but the pre-season is giving me some optimism.
Good start to the season is vital.Quote:

Everyone is sleeping on Reading if you ask me. Stockport looking to prove themselves as well, they were side-by-side pretty much with Wrexham the past few seasons.Quote:
