texanwellfan Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago This is a good friendly for us. The players having to execute our tactics against a much higher level of opposition. We’ve had some decent possession and for the most part we are trying to play a Passing game but we need more runs off the ball in attack and because we are having to play quicker some of the passing is going astray.

They are Quite a big physical side, it’s a useful game. I think it’s obvious the team look a little tired after their exertions on Tuesday, it’s a quick turnaround and I’d have preferred more than 4 subs as the risk of injury is high when players are knackered.. id like to see us create a bit more in the 2nd half, I think at times we look very tidy on the ball but lack any cutting edge. We’ll see what the next 45 brings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have played some decent football tonight, the high press has been effective, we are actually playing out from the back effectively instead of hoofing it forward, but its the old issue we are toothless up front, Stamatelopoulos has been anonymous. I hope JBA has another striker lined up, as we can't start the season with what we have now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a case of waiting to see who is available on loan from the English leagues once they confirm their squads. Definitely one (or two) light in that department.

mio Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago They have some decent players tbf, their number 10 is talented and I like their big centre half who has the look of a junior player but he’s a class act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mio Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago Been a bit disappointed with slattery tonight, been quite slow on the ball at times and if he was a bit sharper a few goal shoot chances could have happened. I still think Fadinger is class. I think he’ll get better and better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I’m saying about slattery being a bit off tonight and he flung in a great cross for the goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mio Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago This has been a good second half. Another game with the level of opposition going up and another improvement from us. im just ecstatic that I’ll never see a long throw in again under JBA. This brings me joy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago Decent work out. We did well with their high press. Said made a difference with his direct running. You can see the link up play improving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago Good workout against a higher quality of opposition. Took a little while to adapt to the higher level opponents, but we improved in the second half. And more triangles than an Airport Toblerone.

MJC Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago I wasn’t there and haven’t seen any footage so can’t comment on performance or result. But it was clearly a stiff test against a good team and we come out of it with a draw. Fair play to the manager and the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistandshout1983 Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago Got a good feeling about the JBA appointment. Too early to say for sure of course but all positive so far I think and let's see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
