Turned it off, can't see us scoring and am disappointed with where we are at in relation to the season starting... What with Swindon pretty much having the opportunity to score 7 past us and all that
Yep

Literally the only thing I feel negative about is why are teams still taking a knee pre kick off?

If feels like the box has turned into all of you play where you want. I don’t like the formation with 2 up top. When you take a midfielder away it buts too much pressure on the wing backs. There’s a reason Giles has been so much quieter.

Yeah he's been subbed ;)

We're obviously unbalanced & always will be until Kelly & Hamer play together - wouldn't worry too much.
Definitely need a few more bodies in, Sheaf would be ideal for our setup.

Winch operators for Kastaneer and Hilsner. What's the third one for?
The third one is the taxi driver Grendel has pre booked for Robins. 😂

With the season less than a month away, is the outcome of this game any cause for concern? I was upbeat after the defeat to Rangers because they were so far ahead in terms of preparation than us and are one of 2 best teams in Scotland by far. But after all the early predictions in this game pointed to a win for us (some even suggesting a comfortable win) is losing to a team in a division below us something we should be worried about?

Another striker without a doubt

Where City fans as much of a bunch of weps when we failed to beat Telford last preseason?
No because it was pretty much a reserve team

Sky Blues XI: Ben Wilson (GK), Blaine Rowe (Trialist 46), Josh Eccles, Trialist, Sam McCallum (G.Burroughs 89), Callum Maycock, Jack Burroughs, Trialist, Reise Allassani, Dexter Walters, Max Biamou (Bremang 64)
Subs: Addai (GK), Trialist

no as it's our 2nd preseason game and we still have almost a month to go

we’re playing a mix of kids and first teamers. We’re integrating. We’re learning. It’s pre season.

I’d rather we were poor and show improvement as we progress than coast through and look lost when the season starts.

I dont know, 4 weeks today we kick off... We look way way way off where we need to be... Hopefully we get another 3 or 4 matches in
We look off it every pre-season. This season we had a 150 day break between matches. Calm down, and let our manager who has 2 promotions in 3 seasons sort it out. We will be ready I have no doubt.
