A lot closer to me than Walsall is but uninspired,I would usually go along to view any new signings but nothing on that score to get me there.Not going to pay to watch the nucleus of the bunch that lost 8-2 to Bristol.I'll wait till the season starts proper then they will get my battered wife syndrome support.

Only 3 of them are defenders though. Henry, who has only played a few games. Preston (who I think has only made one substitute appearance) and one of the Rowleys, can't remember which one, but he has only just signed his first pro contract & hasn't made a first team appearance.
I still think we need a couple more defenders in the squad, with some experience.

If that is 4231, I'm guessing the two CM are chambers and kinsella, with forde Sawyers and Bax the 3 behind Cook, or if a 442 then sawyers up along side Cook (maybe playing off him in a 1-1) and then Bax out wide in the midfield 4. Either way, looks a little light in one or two of the positions.

A little light? You don't say there's about 10 senior goals in that entire starting 11, I'm glad that's not the first 11 but it shows the weakness in the squad.

From what I have read and heard its the same old tripe being served up that we've had the last 2 seasons and toothless with TB, did we really think it would be different?

Actually 4 shots each
we had all ours on target, they had 3, one off target.
Baxendale should have netted after some good work by Romaine.

Re: AFC Telford (A) friendly Tues 21 July 7.45pm
Our presumably second half side looks stronger than the first half one so I expect us to get back during the second half.
The first half though sounds very similar to the games we played against non-league opposition last year, which whilst are easy to write-off as not mattering, set the tone for the start of the season last year.
Anyway, looking forward to some Deano pre-season bingo after the match. Eyes down.
Good work-out
Stronger
Fitter
Whitney
Result not important
Rusty
Sharp enough
Possession

I reckon Smith made so many changes towards the end to paper over the fact we haven't looked good against a non league team, it's basically a ready made excuse.

The stats suggest we were well on top but couldn't convert possession / chances into goals. Sound familiar?

All too, unfortunately.
Think I will see what happens between now and next Tuesday on and off the pitch at the Bonks's's's before I decide to 'hack' down the M6 on a weekday rush hour. :?
Disappointing start to preseason - hope they report in for training tomorrow. :(

Ok so it's a meaningless pre season friendy but it sets the tone of same old smith.
What do we need? A tough centre half Andy Butler esque. A tough centre mid - Martin OConnor esque and a bustling striker Rammel esque.
Over to you Deano.

It was a meaningless friendly but after last seasons lack of goals going down 1-0 to a non league team is quite worrying, it's sounds daft but if we'd lost 5-4 I'd be happier.
Aston villa beat Swindon 2-0 let's see on Saturday how we get on against them I hope we score at least that's all I ask.

Don't panic Pike.
Good points:
Kinsella looks decent operating at the base of a middle three.
Lalkovic adds more urgency to a front three.
Rico Henry.
No one got injured.
Preston made the most thunderous tackle seen from a Saddlers' player since Butler left.
Ashley Grimes is contracted to Barrow.
