Did we play them in league 2 when that stand was being built?

Yes, we had a reduced allocation as a result

Can see how someone like dragus fits in here. Still feels like a slight missing link between midfield and attack

 

[Greggs]

Look shite at the back and Simms looks lazy.

 

[Jamesimus]

Like the look of Thomas too.

His passing through the lines looks great, loves getting forward.

 

[napolimp]

I think comparing godden to Gyokeres is a bit silly

Less a comparison and more an observation that ability to create space for the shot is very useful. Although I'm aware Godden isn't that striker.

 

[Evo1883]

Awful ball by palmer , fuck sake godden

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Good running by Godden

 

[Finham]

Good pass by Godden..

 

[Ashdown]

If Godden looks poor now, he won’t look great against Leicesters defenders. I’m sure MR knows all this though.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Players still getting used to each other but already doing some nice interplay.

 

[Evo1883]

If Godden looks poor now, he won’t look great against Leicesters defenders. I’m sure MR knows all this though.

He doesn't look poor we need new strikers but Jesus wept he's working harder here than simms

 

[Greggs]

His passing through the lines looks great, loves getting forward.

But can he defend?

 

[Evo1883]

Teams played quite well in parts look decent

 

[Evo1883]

City pressing well , some sloppy passing

 

[Ccfcisparks]

City pressing well , some sloppy passing

You can see what we are trying, just missing a slight bit of understanding

I agree

Let's not start with the lazy Simms trope before the seasons even started.

I’m confused, not watching, just going off posters comments

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Poor touch from Simms.

 

[Evo1883]

Exactly

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Lati is a strong lad

 

[Greggs]

 

[Winny the Bish]

Lati looking very good in possession.

Don't put words into my mouth Jesus wept

Mental this forum honestly

 

[Nick]

Lati looking very good in possession.

Was that him who just muscled their player?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Was that him who just muscled their player?

Yep

 

[Macca]

Let's not start with the lazy Simms trope before the seasons even started.

He is though

You did say it though....

 

[Johhny Blue]

Look shite at the back and Simms looks lazy.

Why did you have to say that?
I can’t stop seeing it now

 

[napolimp]

Sorry, poorly worded, not a jab at you rather others have implied on this thread.

 

[Macca]

He is though

Not lazy but Godden is working harder in this game

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Not really. Happens a lot in friendlies. Can be a different 2nd half 11 entirely in some games. Give them 45 mins each..

We haven't really got the squad to do that right now, but it will be switched at half time for sure.

This is the last friendly before the season starts isn't it?

Usually the last friendly before the season is the first 11 and it looks exactly what Robins has gone with. He's played his strongest 11 minus injuries and new signings who aren't ready to play yet.

It's the strongest 11 minus Hamer, go look at the bench and see the names alongside him, if a few other first 11 players were on the bench alongside him I would agree. You only have Bidwell and Kelly on the bench alongside him with decent first team experience and those two are obviously down in the pecking order at the moment for their position.

 

[Evo1883]

You did say it though....

Yes absolutely 100% lmao lol pmsl

 

[clint van damme]

poor touch by simms

It was but you can see what he's about, just like godden he's not going to make goals for himself like vik did.
We need to give them ammunition, Palmer will be really important especially ially if gus goes.
