MacDonald was shocking

burke was shit against us in the checkatrade, he's grown a bit since then.

 

[Nick]

Oh, we scored from a throw in move too!

For the first goal Ponti doesn't do enough to close the first pass down. He's needs to look at McNulty's work rate

Is Kelly injured?

Yes

We also need to stop playing out wide. He doesn’t appear to have any outstanding attributes for that role.

He needs a chance to play upfront.

That third was even worse than I remembered!

Their fifth was also terribly defended. So much time to run up to that final pass!

 

[Mcbean]

Was it a match to remember Cyrille or a pre season friendly - sounds like Sky Blue minds were elsewhere

Well it looks like McDonald was trying not to get injured before going on holiday...absolutely shite ......he don't want to stop goals at any cost thats for sure even Haynes showed more conviction than that even though he was shit

I remember winning 1-0 there in the FACup I think in 73 ? Chilton scored our goal. We had a big following that day, and we had a good drink in the Sword and Alhambra when we got back.

Think we won 2-0 and think Ian St John scored one City following was massive I know I was on the fifth special train. Albion fans came round in second half looking for aggro got a bit of a shock but it resulted I a big fight between our fans and police made headlines in all the newspapers these were nasty times at football.

Maybe he's looking for a move?
He's way down the pecking order when everyone is fit

Somebody need to get to the butchers and buy him a heart because he hasn’t got one for sure!

What was grimmer doing for the 5th?

I had my doubts about him last season. 6 days to go and I think both senior full back positions are under threat by their younger counterparts Sterling and Mason

The centre back pairing picks itself with Davies suspended and McDonald looking out of sorts

The poster stated he cost us a goal by not closing down. He said Ponticelli needs to look at McNulty's work rate..McNulty did play up front. So it doesn't matter what position Ponticelli is in, he has to learn to react and close down whatever his position.

As much as I would love Willis to play he has had 20 minutes football in pre season. I can't see him being ready to start on Saturday.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

What has happened to the McDonald that was so immense at the start of last season?

Wonder if they’ll arrange a behind closed doors game for the likes of Willis, Bayliss and Ogogo

There’s also an U23 match tomorrow against Sphinx

Indeed. He didn't show the appetite that McNulty does. Defend from the front.

Awful defending for all 5 of those goals.
