[Bluerover]

Love to know what foot races Maupay is winning...good grief

Three legged and the sack race

[Cameron Manning]

Missed a sitter

He kept his shot on target, you’re asking too much if you want him to score as well, he’s not superman you know!

 

[Kirkles]

Young has to be starting LB this season..Godfrey looked poor and Myko isn't good enough.
Also hoping Branthwaite can step up because can't watch another season with Keane at CB

 

[banno]

Ben Godfrey!! What the hell has happened to him. Absolute useless

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Decent performance, would have easily beat them 3 or 4 IF we had a center forward.
Playing with Maupay in that system is like having 10 men from kick off...

Maupay moves like he is 7foot 400 pounds. The worst of all worlds with him. Small, uncoordinated and immobile.

 

[Shevin Keedy]

I think we might need to replace Maupay

Easy, just draw a face on a balloon and sellotape it to a mop pole.

It’s going to be another slog of a season for us,desperate for an injection of new blood,Young is 38 and stood out in amongst our regulars,hoping Garner,Branthwaite and maybe one out of the under 21s can add to us,but the requirement for more quality/bodies for this squad was a stark reality there today.

Wouldn’t rely on any of the under 21s I watched today. They could take a place on the bench.

Did the lad who scored last week Kouyate not offer much?

 

[GoodisonRoadSupperBarWool]

Lashed it on my phone for abit and felt sick when they were saying hopefully a good result will cheer up the chairman

 

[Yarrgh]

Chairman's watching and feeling under the weather. Thoughts and prayers are with the cold

Has the cold shown any symptoms yet?

 

[bigjonny]

Did the lad who scored last week Kouyate not offer much?

No mate, not at all.

 

[peteblue]

So I think we can all agree that Maupay is the best striker we’ve had in the last 50-60 years…….

 

[andy4efc]

It was refreshing see us in control of a game. How many preseason games in the past have we just looked completely lost in possession?

Was nice to see controlled, and as already know. The issue being only two players with any ounce of creativity in the attack.

Get a striker, get a winger, we will see much improved output. Because again today we could have had 4/5 goals if we didn’t have a toothless attack.

 

[Walter Ego]

Settle an argument for me. What formation/ formations would you say we played today?
