    Liam Roberts saved a penalty but they got another one and scored. Two penalties conceded. Hmm....

    Good to see Norwood & Cole on the score sheet I suppose. Pre season still. I think we'll defend better in actual games. Until Watters is confirmed I'm more worried about the top end. Norwood & Cole are decent L1 strikers, but to make the top six next season we need more.

    Definitely the defence is the big worry we've lost mads (we always knew he was off) and Bobby Thomas (yes a loan so always knew he was off) but 2 out of 3 main defenders gone had all window to get adequate replacements in 2 weeks to go and I don't think we have yet.

    These scorelines & weird fixture results happen all the time in pre-season. Duff said himself towards end of the season when we knew we werent making autos that no matter how hard you try to motivate etc, it's near impossible to get the same performance you would in a competitive fixture. So, it'll even be more so in a friendly when it's just about fitness primarily

    If Cundy is the answer then I’m worried

    McCarthy still can't even manage ten minutes off the bench in a friendly against kids. He's got to be months away from being match fit to play in League One.

    Our under 18’s got a clean sheet against a strong hull team last week. Results don’t mean much. Definitely need some new signings though. hopefully we’ll get 3 or 4 in next week and give Collins a good week to 10 days to work with them before season starts

    We clearly don't and we can't afford to buy a like for like replacement for Mads. That's obvious. Our best hope is a season long loan along the lines of Thomas. That's highly unlikely to happen until late in the window though.

    I agree we can't get a like for like replacement but I don't think the bloke from non league or James from Burnleys u21s are good replacements. Both look like lads for the future and gambles. Maybe they will prove me wrong I don't know.
