Already 1-0 down after 20 mins, getting it handed to us at the moment. They start their season next week and look well ahead of us. |  | | |  |

Blimey, I hope those two banks of four don't start against Reading but given that Furlong captained the so called second string v Leipzig, this may well be Ollie's starting eleven! |  | | |

I thought we started well and kept the ball much better than we did yesterday, however from about 15 minutes in Union have dominated. Little Mermaid looks good as do Scowen, Yeni, Lynch. |  | | |

I think we are playing ok but can they stop letting smithes pass the ball out to our back for said back four to fanny about with it then pass it back for smithes who proceeds to lash a aimless punt down field! |  |

They did that at Norwich with disastrous results. Onuoha and Lynch aren't good enough on the ball to play that way. | | | |

Nice equaliser - great cross from Yeni headed in by Smith.
Smithies with the standard brilliant 1 v 1 save before that. | | | |

Standard bit of Perch fckwittery - gave ball away, stood and looked at it throwing his hands around, man ran in behind him, he ran after him and belted him, penalty. losing 2-1. | | | |

2-1 final score. Lots of good displays from various players but my god we need a right back! Perch looks and plays like Dylan the rabbit from The magic roundabout, the only player ive seen who seems to play with his eyes sort of half closed! [Post edited 24 Jul 2017 18:59]

Perch will end up costing us a lot of goals and points this season. I hope he's not going to be our first choice right back but I suspect we'll see him v Reading. Sigh. |  | | |

Been winding me up for ages but especially irksome last season. So many times the ball has gone backwards from the half way line culminating in keeper lumping it up and losing possession. Better just to lump it from the half way line! |  |

The trip has shown us positives in the performances of Pawel, Freeman, Yeni, Scowen and a massive gain in Ariel. Unfortunately, as we knew last season we need a quality right back and I had hopes that we would push for Yiadom but it looks like he is off to Swansea. As you say we will get ripped down the right as it stands and unless we get some quality there on loan, it is going to cost us easy goals. As we don't really score a lot, that is going to be a major problem. |  |

I don't get get it. And by 'it', I mean 'him'. He must be in hock to some pretty vicious spread-betting syndicates to keep doing this every match.
'Perch stared through the dense opium smoke as Tony 'The Tiger' Fuk-Yu passed him a hand written note and languorously intoned 'Read it, Mr Perch'. Perch simply read. Quite what Mick Hucknall was doing there was a mystery. The note said "Shitty back pass"...'

Even though it is a friendly we need to get out the consistent habit of losing. |  |

Agreed. Although I accept that it's not the be all and end all, on the other hand I don't think you can just write these games off as meaningless or just training exercises. As ever, it's somewhere in between. I seem to recall those that uttered any dissent last pre-season were told you can't read anything into these games; we ended up avoiding relegation by the skin of our teeth.
We're one friendly away from the season starting and from what I've heard, it suggests to me that all of the issues with the defence that we had last year are still there. It sounds like we're still very quick to lump it long to Smith. So why should we expect the season proper to be any different? Despite the talk of a full pre-season little seems to have been addressed. It looks like we're hoping to get by on the basis of having run up some bigger hills than last year. | |

Since the fake bastards beat us, they haven't beaten anyone since, draw from that whatever conclusion you wish.
Conclusion is a silly word anyway. |  |

"we ended up avoiding relegation by the skin of our teeth. "
We had 50 points with 8 games to go not a great season by any means but the run in should have been fairly relaxed. It was only the odd decisions made by those in charge over those last 8 games that left us hanging on. | | | |

They started their preseason a few weeks before us. |
This is a valid point - we dominated Watford and won 2-0, Deeney looked terrible, this time last year when we were a week away from starting the season and they had another fortnight. They're meant to be up to speed now, they start on Saturday. We're not and we don't.
That said, dispiriting to see all the same problems with the back four, with and without the ball, we had last season. | | | |

We had a quality right back last season.
His name is Darnell Furlong and I said we should start with him last season and here we are a season on and still Perch is picked over him at RB.
Oh yeah also Furlong is home grown one of our own, proven at this level and has also played a level above. Only 21 and still has played in over 70 pro matches.
Ollie better wise up.

I'm not sure Furlong is proven at this level. Any decent right back would be picked over Perch ( you would hope !! ) but Furlong seems to be number 2 right now. Hope he makes it but I don't think he is good enough. | | | |
