Bristolatic Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Just now, daniel said: Missilou looks a player in CM. #Kante. You've forgotten the OWTB golden rule. If he's a #frenchlad from their 4th or 5th division, he must be crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he does, gave him absolute pelters before he'd even kicked a ball but I'm big enough to say he has suprised me and does look a decent recruit, won't go to the other end of the spectrum and compare him to Kante but happy he appears to be in the better half of somewhere between. O'Grady just doesn't float my boat though and both he and Benteke can go for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't sign a striker or two soon, we may just be stuck with those two, but could they do a job in League 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusunga_Is_God Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Not as shit as first thought but still lots of work to be done. They’ve battered us last 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Held our own against a very strong side who I fully expected to give us a pasting. Fair play. Not there today but sounds like we're a couple of strikers short still. I'd be pretty disappointed if we went into the season with O'Grady, Benteke and a young loan player.

mcfluff1985 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Keeper - looked like he should have done better for goal. Solid enough after with 2 great saves from 1 on 1s Taylor - looks like he'll be a good player for League 2. Looks solid and can deliver a nice inswinging corner from look of it Edmundson - played well. Still gets pulled out if position a bit but will do a job Graham - looks decent for 17. Not sure if I'd start him over Edmundson Hamer - will definitely play higher. Over committed himself couple times 2nd half but will learn Maouche - some very neat touches at times. Would like see more of him Branger - quite direct. Some neat touches. Not afraid of a challenge Missile - another who isn't afraid to put head and body in. Good engine. Good first impression Gardner - looked good today back to how he was start of last season. Hope just a niggle. Coke - too overconfident on ball couple times but looks easy good enough for League 2 O'Grady - few decent touches second half. Won couple headers. Its a no from me.

There's little question of the dedication of someone who'd do a four hour round trip to watch a pre-season friendly.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
