this has been exactly what was expected, a disjointed game with little flow, ndiaye looks good though.. larouci had good and bad moments

I really was against Fleck staying, less so Osborn because of his ability to offer cover for LWB. Fleck though, I wouldn't have kept him had we stayed down!He’s looked no better or worse than anyone else. Not bad for a first outing in a glorified training session imo. Apart from the obvious number 29/10. I won’t say much more than that.
Fleck however is as bad as ever and Osborn is an atrocious ‘forward player’. Even in pre season those are the takeaways. Either of them getting contracts is baffling.
Suppose it helps people who aren’t/can’t watch the stream, just puts a bit of context for people reading the threadAlways astounds me how much people look to rate preseason, it’s purely about minutes in the players, especially when using two mixed XIs.
Seen some utter dross at first team and academy levels, seen some positive, never means owt
It’s why I stopped adding preseason to the player ratings

Thought Sachdev and Francis looked comfortable and composed which is a decent sign for an academy lad and a potential developmental prospect
Yeah think he’ll have done his cause some goodFrancis looks a lot more comfortable in the middle.
the first half midfield was horrendous. Pre-season i know but i don’t get how they can fail to control a ball or find a man after a short absence, i think my touch is better than half the squad. Looking forward to seeing slimane 2nd half.
Hard watching pre-season and not get too judgemental but it definitely highlights the worries most people have about our midfield.
i hope fleck/ozzy can improve on that before the season.
Formation was 5-2-3, otherwise agree.First half summary
Poor game affected by the wind.
Jebbo and Ndiaye getting kicked at every opportunity.
Midfield three poor not providing out ball from defence.
Davies kicking is getting worse.
Ndiaye laid on best chance by going past 3 players and laid it off to Fleck who promptly miskicked it in the penalty area.
Good free kick from Fleck just past the post.
Neal needs a loan out and Osborn not a 10.
Francis looks more assured playing in the middle of a 3.
I’m guessing it’s all in the nameWow that was horrendous- lets face it there's Illy and then theres the rest of them.

We’ve got 3 LWB’s, 4 with Robinson, 5 with Bogle, 6 with Baldock. It’s not a reason to keep a sub-par squad playerI really was against Fleck staying, less so Osborn because of his ability to offer cover for LWB. Fleck though, I wouldn't have kept him had we stayed down!
Same he looked like he belonged on that pitch tonight not saying he’s at first team level but it was nice to seeI love the look of Sachdev
I think we need to see him when we are under the cosh because he hasn’t had a great deal to do tbf defending wise. He’s comfortable in possession when he has time on the ball but it’s the defending he will be judged on and as of yet he really hasn’t done much of it which is no fault of his own. Hopefully in the next couple of games some real pressure can be put on him which will give us a better idea.Yeah think he’ll have done his cause some good
Tell that to BayernAlways astounds me how much people look to rate preseason, it’s purely about minutes in the players, especially when using two mixed XIs.

Goals?Usual pre season moaning bullshit. It's second match with new players and it's boiling. What does anyone expect?
His first pre-season friendly with his new club. He grew into the half, lets not write him off...We’re 5 minutes in now. Who’s going to be the first to say that Larouci isn’t good enough?
