when is thorn gonna start playing our best 11 together? always academy players dotted inr andom places

i dont mind taking a look at them but we need our first 11 to gel sometime soon too

Imagine the first 11 will play in most of the 3 league 2 games.

Terrible first half not really had touch of ball so can't comment on players

 

[Gray]

hows deegan playing?

Deegan looks a bit behind in terms of fitness

 

[ampthill_sba]

Half time announcer just said

"I apologise to any Coventry fans who misses the start of the game, if it any consolation, you didn't miss much"

That's about right. Hussey perhaps the only one to come out with any credit so far

I think Brown and Edjenguele did ok too. Ball was improving too

 

[Astute]

Nuneaton playing as though it is a Cup Final, just like a lot of our opponents will do this season and raise their game for us.

We had better get used to it.

 

[ampthill_sba]

In a starting 11 I'd expect Murphy, McSheff, McDonald, Baker, Bell and Malaga to start in place of 6 of today's players...

 

[sw88]

McDonald and Roberts on for Ball and Jeffers

How does he then trial 'trialists'?!?

Appreciate the updates lads... Keep em coming...

 

[ClarrieB]

Doesn't really matter as it's all about fitness but we won't win today I don't think.

 

[ClarrieB]

Appreciate the updates lads... Keep em coming...

Yup, definitely appreciated

 

[ClarrieB]

Who's been the stand-out player so far this pre season? Anyone?

 

[skybluejelly]

One nil borough

 

[sw88]

1-0 Nuneaton.

 

[skybluejelly]

Wiseman on Bruno off

 

[ampthill_sba]

Boro take deserved lead in 56th min after two miss placed passes by Brown

 

[sw88]

Bruno off after AT said he'd play 90 (might e carrying a knock), didn't catch who came on

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

This is going to be a long season

 

[skybluejelly]

Bruno off after AT said he'd play 90 (might e carrying a knock), didn't catch who came on

Pretty sure it's wiseman

 

[ampthill_sba]

He's slow and uncreative. He's not the solution I'm afraid.

 

[ampthill_sba]

ATs team play like last season. No use of midfield. Boro best team today by far

 

[stupot07]

Pretty sure it's wiseman

I thought wiseman was release?

 

[skybluejelly]

Borough hit bar again

 

[ampthill_sba]

They just hit bar again. 2431 attendance

 

[sw88]

Nuneaton hit bar from silly free kick given away by Hussey

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Sounds like a pathetic performance from us so far

 

[sw88]

He's slow and uncreative. He's not the solution I'm afraid.

He didn't exactly set the world alight but had more opportunity than Ricky to impress, and didn't do it IMO. Won't rule him out after one game though as most have been poor

 

[sw88]

Brown hasn't had the best of second halves

 

[ampthill_sba]

Sounds like a pathetic performance from us so far

Very disappointing.

New things I have learnt:
1. Ball will be useful
2. Brown will be too
3. The Edge is uncultured by hard
4. Bruno not needed
5. Riqi needs another chance to shine
6. Deegan still can't pass

 

[sw88]

Nuneaton sub the rest of their team including Ex Cov boy Collett in goal

 

[ampthill_sba]

Who is our 17? He's looked good...

 

[sw88]

Who is our 17? He's looked good...

No one is sure there's still one sub on our bench but wasn't listed on the previous post about the team, so I assumed it was gonna be that Moore-Azille, but he could still be the one on the bench.

Chance for Ricky blocked as I type this

 

[ampthill_sba]

Riqi in on goal...

 

[ampthill_sba]

But fluffs it
