Pre-season Friendly: Forest Green

[Yankee_Jack]

Tate is in charge.

Let's see if he can demand a better performance than we saw against Plymouth.

We have Soton on Saturday. They crushed us last season in the same friendly. This is what we should be doing to Forest Green.

You do realise that you'll have a very irate @Rainbow on your hands if that happens?!

I'll take my chances ... we are nothing if not anaemic in friendlies.

What’s the vegan equivalent of “spitting feathers”?

Cabango is back.

Walsh anchors midfield.

Piroe and Ollie Cooper start.

Names on the bench that I don't recognize.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Who is Ben Lloyd. I don't see him on the U23 roster.

No sign of Byers or Garrick. Fulton not dressed for this - I presume he starts against Soton.

Spitting lettuce and cucumber?

I was impressed with the passing of Walsh in the last game - hitting players accurately in tight spaces. Let's see if it's a real quality

Lloyd is a 16 year old I think !

Fulton and Manning out with covid virus .

Speaking with Rainbow before the game trying to get her to watch the stream. But she couldn't remember her password and login details etc so she had to give it a miss. She'll keep in touch via my texts and other friends who went to the game. Wished her luck but not too much!!

 

[The Blobster]

Byers not in squad , he's off to Wednesday then !

 

[The Blobster]

How we doing so far ? I've no stream and no radio coverage!

 

[ivoralljack]

Nothing in the game, slow paced but a few tackles going in from FG. Hamer been watching Woody too much and a misplaced pass down the middle could easily have cost us.

 

[CroJack]

Byers not in squad , he's off to Wednesday then !

Byers is injured.

Half time 0-0 which is an accurate reflection of a nothing game. We've shown nothing and, as last week, it would be good if the players broke into a walk now and then. What we learn from such games is beyond me. No new tactics on show, no passing triangles, no driving runs, no anything really. Okay, the players are getting minutes but they could have got those on the training ground to be honest. God knows what Southampton will do to us on Saturday.

 

[ivoralljack]

Hamer passes it into touch. Definitely needs to improve his distribution.

 

[The Blobster]

Byers is injured.

It's supposedly Grimes who is carrying a slight knock , not Byers .
