GlossopLatic Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Well I don't think we will play a team that keeps the ball aswell as that all season was a different test to what we are usually used too. Quite liked the look of the diminutive number 17 tried to make things happen hard to tell off a friendly. The keeper I thought looked competent couldn't do anything about the first goal maybe could have done better with the second. It's always hard to tell in friendlies how hard a team is going at it. But I would say we were pretty much second best here for large parts of the game. We never really got a period in the game when we got on top of them. Mainly because we spent the game chasing the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were playing a decent side who cut through the centre of midfield at times and looked comfortable in the first half. first goal possibly off side in the build up. Super finish from 18 yards. Keeper might just have done better. I realised tonight that whichever keeper we get this year each goal conceded will come with the nagging doubt , would Ripley have saved it? He was unlucky with the second having made a terrific save. Didn't quite convince enough dummigan seemed to be improving on other friendly performances. Did ok edmundson - seemed too central at times which made us more defensive as he didn't pull out right to either support or cover the rwb as Wilson does so effectively clarke - scared the shit out of Stuani. Ever so slightly rusty gerrard -'ok again a bit rusty Hunt solid I think he'll improve with each game flynn and banks- I am not prone to knocking players but they were poor. I've put them together because together they were the problem. Both can't position themselves when defending and don't move forward quickly enough when they have the ball. One might be a luxury we can just about afford but I think together they are a liability Fane - carried the midfield. I think he gets over hyped on here but tonight was the best I have seen him play. MOM. Never thought he was about to get sent off. Could be learning davies and Holloway- quietly impressed .held it up well and got about. Made chances and got in the box subs - 17- think he flattered to deceive. Had a few pacy runs. Incredibly small duffus isolated up front. Did 3 things.superb turn and shot out of nothing which went just over. Won penalty ,scored penalty. I am looking forward to watching him fawns busy saw little of the ball edit missed 18 and Obadeyi which says it all really. 18 tried but had little end product. Was switched a couple of times which couldn't have helped a triallist. And Obadeyi didn't seem arsed .

b0ndl1ne Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Cameron Stewart was the 17. Manchester lad, Ex-United, had a fair few injury problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 According to MC Stewart was 18 Matt Chambers @Matt_Chambers_·5h Still not sure on identity of number 17 tonight but he looked lively. Number 18 was Cameron Stewart. Both only just arrived at club. #oafc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfluff1985 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 17 was very lively. Good on the ball, quick. 18 looked like he had 1 option, try and go outside your man every time. Didn't work well. Small bit I saw of 18 made me think of Flynn. Can't beat a man. Although both played very little so I'll reserve judgement for the time being Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 An interesting choice of opponent given the obvious disconnect between the trialist purporting to be a goalkeeper and our defence. However an enjoyable game. No doubt the gaffer likes Banks but I can't get over his unwillingness to tackle. Fawns despite his inexperience appears a much better option. Fane was the player I hoped he would become. Duffus looks like the real deal. Whereas Amadi-Holloway and Davies still look unlikely to score the goals we need to reach the top six - they work hard but Duffus has something. 18 didn't do well whereas 17 did inject some pace and skill but I can't see him starting games if we signed him. What we need is every penny of available money spent on goalkeepers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be looking to get rid of osei and bring back Erwin if funds allow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
