Well play him in defence, we need to be more solid there!

 

[steve101]

People getting upset about preseason results is honestly the most annoying thing in football.

Really? I can think of far more annoying things in football.

Well play him in defence, we need to be more solid there!

But we also need to be fluid as a team

I don't know about getting upset, I think some fans are getting frustrated at the lack of defensive additions, I know there's still 6 weeks until the window closes and there's still time

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

I doubt it’ll be on there it’s a Norwich exclusive and not on any foreign channels

Plymouth's friendly game on Friday night was on there. 1-1 v M'Boro (Argyle TV !)

Robins saying thats the best they have played in pre season.It shows,we only lost one nil this time.

Ann have you ever thought about being a motivational speaker?

Can’t remember the specifics, but the 15/16 pre season was toilet as well. Convinced that we were going down when we drew 0-0 with Nuneaton and our big hope Adam Armstrong looked pants.

He didn't sign until the day before the Wigan game did he?

 

[aloisijohnnyaloisi]

Viveash locked all the balls in the Opel I take it

It's just a rebadged Vauxhall Astra

 

[wingy]

The usual

And it was.

Edit- oh, anything for the weekend sir.

 

[Garryb80]

He did play at nuneaton

Not with this Rekord!!

 

[fatso]

I'm sure it's just MR trying to manage people's expectations, all of a sudden a point at home against Forrest, is looking like a success.

Pre season results are entirely irrelevant. I don't think we've played a game where the first choice 11 have played together at any point.

Armstrong only played 1 preseason game, that was the final one which was 0-0 against Oxford

Which was staged at nuneaton....

 

[skyblueelephant76]

Which was staged at nuneaton....

Now it makes sense

 

[larry_david]

Anyone with any ratings? Howley, bapaga? Drysdale?

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Have we ever had a pre season where we lost every game?

It will come together vs Wolves....just watch! I reckon we will pretty much have our squad for Forest available in that match.

Tonight was very worthwhile altogether not that concerned about pre season.

Any rays of hope rob?

(from the game, not the chicken)

 

[MAFF]

Glad we're not League 2 anymore... reckon this was left here by a native?! Fucks sake.

hahahahaha i'm sorry why's everyone ignored this???

Not the end of the world or the beginning of the end.

Years since I've been forced to go there - only used to like something called a Zinger (or some such!) Used to serve weird drinks like Smartie crush. Never felt like I wanted to sit down in case I caught anything (and that was before Cov-id )

Best services ever, Helen, the night manager at KFC gives blowjobs for a tenner, honestly, just ask her!

You should see what you can get for twenty.

Some positives. We kept another clean sheet in attack, Jodi didn't get injured and the chicken was good.

All seriousness not too bad considering their first team v our reserves at best and some valuable minutes in legs and some hope from the kids. No shots on target and a few shaky moments at the back is of course concerning whatever the standard, but I'm not worried yet.

Walker shot on target first half?

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Another fine mess by the boys.

 

[rob9872]

Walker shot on target first half?

Can't argue if he did, but certainly wasn't memorable lol

 

[TamworthSkyBlue99]

Good run out for some of the younger lads! Howley looks a player, Reid also looked good

Bright very sharp when he came on

Walker looked very poor though, no way he should be playing up top on his own at any point this season

 

[Skyblue_CP]

Let's be honest about today. The Mansfield fans are raving about how brilliant they were, how their midfield bossed a championship side, when in reality they don't realise that it was basically an u23s side labelled as the 1st team. The only exceptions being Wilson, Jones (not played for 2 years) Sheaf and Walker that started, and by the end of the game a significantly underfit Bright was the only "1st team" player on the pitch and they couldn't handle him. Put Hamer, O'Hare, Waghorn and co out there and it's a different game.

We played them against Cheltenham and lost 2-0
