Looking at the back of his jacket, I'd say he has no boundaries and can go where he wants

Some interesting numbers on show today, mostly just last season's squad numbers and you'd expect those to change after so many people left, especially the young players rather than having a bunch of 30 and 40 somethings but even so some are different

Davies was wearing 17 instead of his previous 1, but Grbic still wearing 13 suggests we're getting a new number 1.
Traore had 20 rather than the 11 he had at the start of last season, with Bogle wearing 2.
One was 39 which was Hackford's last year when One was 26.
Arblaster is 4
Shackleton wearing 16 looks funny as from a distance he looks kind of Norwoodish but moves about three times as fast.

Everyone played fairly well, Anel looked a bit ropey at times and Slimane was a bit of a passenger who let the game pass him by but nobody was bad. Traore, Brooks and Osula looked sharper than most of the others but all of the kids looked decent, Freckleton did his usual looking great in pre-season and Curtis was good going forward.

I thought Slimane was decent myself, played as a number 10 and roamed around quite well.

What formation did we appear to play?

 

[ZoneManWilf]

What formation did we appear to play?

433 ish in both halves

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

What formation did we appear to play?

Goalie wag was my assessment.

 

[Maidenhead]

I was a bit concerned in the second half.
Souza managed the pointing role quite well in the first but apart from a few half hearted attempts by Arblaster in the second half we didn't really have anyone operating particularly well in that vital role.

Gloves? In July?

 

[Aston max]

Gloves? In July?

Leaves no prints or DNA mate

 

[Bergen Blade]

433 ish in both halves

Or 4-2-3-1, as we had a number ten (Marsh and Slimane) in front of the two central midfielders.

 

[thehet]

Any post match views from wilder yet ?

Any view at all will do

 

[thehet]

In fact was Wilder even there?

 

[blade too long]

Dig those crazy shirts

HE LIVES

Brooks and Traore excellent. Anel nowt special. Defence still looks fragile.

We need 2 centre halves, one to replace Egan and a RHS one, LHS we're fine with JLT and hopefully rnd close !!!
Worrall hopefully, just a shame we lost out on osho
I do like anel but get the feeling his agent is turning his head!!

 

[Blade58]

How did Brewster play?

 

[fifty shades of blade]

How did Brewster play?

I've no idea as he's always injured...oh, sorry, see what you meant!

 

[Bartleby]

Stocksbridge won't need a team talk next time we play em

 

[SUFCinks]

GREEEAAATTT finish. Well done lad.

Wilder confirmed we are moving to a back 4 as the preferred line up, so we will be recruiting accordingly.
Explains the Egan decision and I'm not sure Bogle is defensively good enough for a back 4

 

[reytblade]

Freckleton looked gorgeous. Tidy player.
