    I don't think we had a shot in the first half. Friendlies mean nothing but we look awful.
    So many free headers in the box given to the opposition and probably 10% possession
    Pretty poor

        Bloody hell that was woeful.

        Scored with our only two chances but FGR had so many more chances than us.

        We look lethargic, slow and completely devoid of ideas, pace and flair except for the odd occasion when Giles had the ball. But even he struggled tonight as there was little or no movement.

        Passing was absolutely dreadful with no composure anywhere on the pitch.

        Marlon Pack looks off the pace, made terrible tacking decisions, useless ball retention and passing was non existent. In turn that put the youngsters under a lot of pressure.

        Considering we were playing with three centre backs and two defensive midfielders it's quite shocking how much possession and shots we allowed FGR to have from central areas.

        I know we are missing key players .... BUT in terms of a number 10 and flair players.... All we have was on show tonight, apart from Murphy, and it's alarming.

          Moore will get 30 goals plus if Giles keeps putting crosses in like those.

            Giles crossing was the one plus point

              Was not a great performance and FGR should have been out of sight with the chances they had.


              We do have Morrison, Nelson , NG, Bacuna, Murphy ,Colwill and Moore to return tho.

                  It will be coached out of him soon enough.

                    That's not a fair remark.

                          Yeah it was a bit rubbish but there were two spells when we played well and scored. Tomlin when he came on was a class above everybody else on the pitch, although still rusty, of course. Other positives: Bagan was neat and tidy - there was an interesting bit when Pack and I think one other were telling Bagan to pass it backwards but instead he threaded a lovely through ball to Harris who was just offside. Passing forwards - it's the future! Harris seems to do something good one moment and then mess it up, but hopefully again that's rustiness.

                          We had Taylor Jones on the bench who I thought could play right back/rwb (or am I wrong?) but sent Sam Bowen on to play there instead. Not sure what's going on there; perhaps just giving Bowen some game time.

                            That percentage has just risen.

                              I preferred to watch the cricket, so can't say much about last night because I've only watched Mick McCarthy and Dillon Phillips' interviews so far. However, hearing our manager say that we probably played better against Cambridge makes me think I've not missed much because we were poor in the first game and not much better than okay in the second one on Saturday.

                              Hearing the interviewer say Forest Green dominated possession in the first half should be a source of embarrassment to our team given we're two divisions above them, but I don't suppose it will be, because that's what we are and, realistically, it would be asking a bit for Ryan Wintle to come in from Crewe and totally transform a midfield that is one of the worst in the Championship when it comes to ball retention. Indeed, given the players who have left the club and those who have come in so far, it seems reasonable to think that we'll be seeing our team have even less of the ball this season if Mick McCarthy really isn't going to be bringing any one else in.

                              Mick McCarthy is right to say what he did about the importance of winning, but he says that from the perspective of someone who has been here six months - us supporters have had around a decade now of the team playing a type pf football that has nothing to commend it if the result doesn't go our way. We've had some success during that time of course, but I can't remember the last time I've turned up or tuned in to a game expecting to be entertained - hence my decision to watch a T20 game last night over the City, something I would never have done a few years ago.

                              As for Bowen at right wing back, I don't get it.

                                Couple of points about the game which I thought was quite competitive, more so than the earlier friendlies.
                                Defence was poor at defending crosses which is surprising given our height. Similar to last season.
                                Mc Guinness getting a lot of game time. Looks like Morrison may not be fit to start season. Big awkward lump of a player. Has a lot to do to get up to Championship standard.
                                Least said about our MF the better. Collins is
                                a goalscorer. Welcome addition to the team.
                                Hope all our missing players get fit soon as we need them.
