Match Thread Preseason Friendly vs OGC Nice

[Woodthorpe blade]

Is the sun at a horrible height ? It was nearly an own goal 2 minutes previous as well

 

[coolasanidiot]

Barry has got it - you can just tell after a few touches.

 

[Champagneblade]

Jesus. That was abysmal. We’re passing the ball back far too much to the keeper. What’s the point?

 

[Not_a_Cheat]

How many Champions League sides did we play against last season under Wilder?

Getting beat. Does that make any difference? Wilder out for not losing to Champions League teams...wtf

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

McCallum and Burrows interchanging at cb? Will be extremely negligent if we don't bring any cb's in before the season starts

 

[Sheffsteel]

Burrows will be pleased his one goal wasn’t in a proper match.

It’s one of them blunders that’s shown over and over again.

 

[Champagneblade]

Nice a bit better this half though a draw would have been a fair result.

Can’t legislate for the stupidity of the winner.

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Watched second half. Calamitous goal apart, I was impressed.

Desperate for centre half's though.

 

[Dnblade]

Not the best back pass,he could have played a straight ball on the floor.
We've played quite well overall,so not too bothered...we need at least one Centre Back in though.

 

[robbiez666]

As we've been all pre-season good moments going forward but soft as shit at the back. Not just the defence it's the lack of cover infront of them. Start Peck, O'Hare and Hamer in the midfield in the Championship and we'll need to score 3 a game to win.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Good to see we still have the ability to play backwards and give gifts.

 

[coolasanidiot]

Played really really well- took it very serious which is good to see. All the players we know are good again turned up -

Whoever is advising the owners needs to be told in no uncertain terms

NO SALES

4 in - RB, 2 x CB and DM - no AI solid Championship players- need to spend 30 Million - 13 of which they got for Vini

 

[MiserableBlader]

Allez les Blancs
Allez les Blancs
Allez
For those of a certain age

Well there is so much you could say about that game
But why bother whilst #ManagersAreMorons.

 

[Cheeky Blade]

Good game against some good players, be different style of play in Championship but glad we’re getting these games in.

UTB

 

[Blade58]

Good workout
Need to cut out the silly errors at the back

 

[Teddybear]

we need players NOW

 

[Blademan89]

Was a good test against good opposition. Played well, was a good watch and could have easily won 5-2.

Lot of positives, lot to build on.

One thing for sure we need as a minimum x1 CB, X1 RB, x1 DM and probably RW

If it wasnt for RND terrible switch off for their first, poor positional & jocking for their 2nd and Burrows awful back pass OG, that could have been rather embarrassing for Nice.

McCallum played CB. Burrows is being asked to drift into midfield on certain moves building from the back.

If you’re not going to say all the stuff you could say that’s a fantastic result.

Second half they upped their game they are a quality technical side and a touch above Bristol City. We hung in there created a few chances and hit the post. RND at fault for first 2 goals. Selles hooked him soon after. If the answer is McCallum then we are struggling. Not sure why Cooper wasn't wearing a cap. The calamity own goal is a lesson for the future. A good workout but we have so much to do. We are crying out for a DM and at least one quality centre back before the season starts.

 

[metalblade]

Burrows was crap all game
Well played well desperate for 1 or 2 CB's really desperate.

 

[Aston max]

Good run out against a very good side .

 

[Lane Ender]

Calm down only jesting

Ok pal sound

 

[Cheeky Blade]

From the bits we’ve seen Louie Barry will be adding to his price if he stays fit.

Forgot to add credit to young Dovy who didnt look out of place and stood up to some pacy forwards.

 

[BigBed]

My god I hope it isn't sunny next week, I think we've found Coops weakness!, he's a vampire!!
Oh, and we need defenders URGENTLY!

You'd have thought Selles would know not to play Burrows in midfield, he played there during that 3-0 loss to Hull and also scored an own goal lol

in a friendly against a top side? No it means nothing

Agree, we should have signed him permanently
