The pitch looks terrible. You can tell it hasn’t had any maintenance over the summer . It looked like a park pitch the weekend of the kit launch . It’s going to be in a state by February

iFollow was pretty good last season watching it from Scotland, probably because no-one was using it. Commentary microphone keeps cutting out on this stream and the video is very choppy. Not great.

0-1 poor header by Waterfall, good recovery by Macca making last ditch tackle lands straight at Morecombe feet always going to concede.
Lack of pace at the back has hurt us most then.
Morecombe are just going to sit now aren't they.

You'd expect any half competent streaming service (with years of experience) would have the appropriate infrastructure in place to increase bandwidth when more viewers are watching. Hardly should be a shock to them that there's more people trying to use the service when nobody is allowed into grounds. Unfortunately neither iFollow nor the EFL seem give the slightest excrement about the user experience they're providing - I guess we're the mugs for continuing to fund them.

You’d hope this weekend would give the EFL a good idea of how many people they’ll have streaming matches during the lockout and increase capacity as necessary. They won’t but hopefully enough people feel conned and don’t buy it next week increasing quality for those who do.

but of course they didn't improve anything and the service is still overpriced and excrement.

Whilst I see the need for furloughing staff, given that I’d imagine the grounds man isn’t on huge cash, surely he could’ve stayed on, doing his job....the pitch looks awful in comparison to our usual bowling green. It’s certainly having an impact on the game...

It's a league cup match, there's £5k prize money on the line (in a season where income is going to be hard to come by). In no way is this a practice match.

God i forgot how utterly shite iFollow is. Absolutely diabolical quality - looks like i'm streaming it on a 56k modem rather than 500mbps fibre broadband. Such a massive rip-off
You've probably tried it but have you checked the resolution? Cog bottom right if i remember. It's supposed to find the best automatically but i always had to change it.

Not expecting too much from what is our first competitive match of the season. So I will repeat what has been said, poor pitch poor defending. And town just scored good run by Preston and Green nets.

1-1 deserved after apoor start due to sloppy defending. Thought Tondeur was harsh on Green for his chance a couple of minutes back. Difficult chance.

Great finish by Green. Was really worried as one the ball landed to Green and two he seemed to be taking forever to pull the trigger but all the same freat goal 1-1.
We've been on top for a while now and deserved that.

Yeah i've got it on 720p - there's absolutely no way it's 720p. Feels more like 360p at the very most - really blurry and low quality.

720p makes no difference if the source is awful quality. Probably streaming on a 56k modem from the ground. Cutting costs and all that.

What do you lot want from a match thread? Everyone to clap and post 'hooray' when we make a defensive intercourse-up and concede inside the first few minutes of the season?
No, but to write the whole season off after less than 10 minutes of the first competitive game and one poor defensive error was a bit much!

Does that mean it’ll go off in the second half so they can dial back up?

Imagine signing 4 new strikers and starting the season with Green up front. Pointless.

Scannell the best player at the moment, very direct fast and presses them all the time. Rose done some lovely switches as well. We are playing the better stuff and have done well since going behind.

Apparently not fully fit either. He seems stupidly fast, he's beating players who have a large head start on him and keeping balls in that seemed were long gone. The fastest player I can remember us having in quite some time and Max Wright is already pretty fast.

Sloppy start, gradually taken control.
Should go on to win it, Scannell looks very good, Preston good, Rose good....Williams less so. Green will need to be better with his chances, bit a good finish after 2 poor ones.
Better side, neat and tidy. Promising

One thing looks certain we arent fking about with it going forward, working it wide quickly and hitting crosses in first time.
Pitch looks terrible.
Scanlon looks quick of foot and mind.

Pollock and Scannell the stand outs of that half. Waterfalls usual solid heading has been a tad suspect so far.
Poor start, but we took control by the end of the half. Williams not really in it at the moment and same for Tilley. Rose has looked solid as has Hewitt. Macca his usual brilliant self.
Looking forward to the 2nd half.

Seemed a slow start for us, the Wright experiment wasn't going well in defence and switching seems to have got us back in rhythm. Been a good run out for some of our new faces, if Scannell gets and stays fit then he can run games for us. Can see why Preston is so highly rated at Forrest, he can do it all. Rose looking a solid player so far, Williams got screwed over by the pitch a couple of times I think, we need to sort this out and soon by getting the groundsman back in.

To be honest, we’re playing better than I thought we would, consider the lack of pre season games and late signings. Good on the ball and our forward players all confident in possession.
Not great at the back first 20, particularly waterfall but they’ve steadied now. Pollock looks very assured and looks comfortable with the ball at his feet too.

Agree, some early signs that 3 of the “senior” signings, Rose, Williams & Scannell are all good quality plus Preston gets well down the line and will improve as the season progresses. Getting the ball in the box far more and encouragingly getting men in there as well. Despite his goal Green not really a target man but he’s putting in the effort. Given lack of friendly matches not disappointed by what I’ve seen and for once with Scannell, Wright and Tilley we have both some trickery and loads of pace.

Town have grew into the game after a sloppy early goal. Shows in the half time statistics with over 60% possession and 80% pass accuracy. Good finish by Green for our goal. Hopefully can take it into the second half

How big are your screens? I'm only on a 18", but the quality doesn't seem all that bad, definitely not HD though. Audio cutting out was annoying, but it's a hell of a lot better than watching teletext for 2 hours.

This must be a first. There are more on the fishy than at the match.
EFL Trophy against Sunderland 23rd Dec 2018 attendance 248, not sure how many on the Thefishy that night.

Saying we havent had football for a few months I am pretty shocked how bad the pitch looks in places or maybe it's just the poor picture quality.

I always thought Green had more in him then he's shown previously. He does put a lot of effort in but it never really went for him. Tondeur made it sound like he missed a sitter so I thought , oh no , here we go again. Hope that goal is the turning point for the lad.

No way this pitch is going to get better now the seasons started and games are going to be regularly played on it. Poor decision to leave it over the summer . It’s going to be an 80s style mud bath in the winter

Rose off Khouri on, sounds about right as Rose has looked a little knackered the last 10 mins or so. Lack of preseason catching up to him a bit.

Williams and Green seemed to be struggling, probably bringing them off to avoid injuries. Scannell looks tired but not hurt like they looked.

Wouldn't say we've been poor. We've spent more time in their half then ours, I would say we've tired before they have though.

Fitness levels clearly an issue with the way things have gone, lots of players who have not played for ages and a season that took forever to get started. This game still feels like a pre season game with how tired players look.

I've got faith in Macca going into penos but I can't say the same for our shooting. If we don't progress I won't be too disappointed though. If we'd had a full preseason I think we wouldn't of needed penos

You'd have thought Gibson would be desperate to register his first goal for Town - strange he hasn't put himself forward.

Given that our best bet looked like penalties you'd have thought we'd have ended up with 5 outfield players who were willing to take one under minimal pressure on the pitch. Unless McKeown had had a lifelong ambition to score the winning penalty and thought this was the moment.

I think we looked decent considering our lack of pre-season. First half we were good with the ball. Defending was a bit iffy but got better as the game went on. Obviously we were knackered after 60 minutes, but they have had their squad together longer and played a couple of actual friendlies. I think we'll be fine, but a couple of players short of a push at the moment. A couple more the quality of Scannell though and we'll be laughing!

Beaten due to a lack of experienced subs and fitness. played some good stuff in the middle 40 mins of the game. thought Khouri looked quite capable when he came on, and Williams scary with his pace and skill if he can come on when his team mates are still capable of running to keep up with him. Pollock and Scannell pick of the team and Preston will only get better. More youths to be tried out on Tuesday I assume, but got to ask the question what the hell was he doing starting with a midfielder/winger at right back and player with much experience in that position in midfield. I expect some red Xs for not licking IHs bottom.

We looked like what we are, a team of strangers that haven't played together and are not match fit. In the first half, after a slow start we played some good football. We had 67% of possession in the first half. We just never got going in the second half.
Some good signs there, especially Scanell, William's and Preston. Pollock and Waterfall looked solid, (apart from the backpass).

It “might“ only be £5k but it was a competitive game and I would like to think everyone connected to town would want to win. Can understand the early try out with Wright and Hewitt but with Macca taking a penalty is unforgivable, if he was that good a taker then why hasn’t he taken one before ?

Hewitt has played centre midfield before, and in his only outing there under Holloway was actually very good. Max is better running at people and more suited to a wide role than in the middle. It didn't work well, but it's not a decision that was completely out there. Perhaps if Scannell hadn't been able to beat his man first touch when Max was behind him, then overlapping might have worked better. Tilley and Preston were doing that on the other side.

Looks even better on the that showing, physique improved, totally comfortable on the ball. Expect some bids incoming at some point this season.

Have to disagree, as i always do, with that cliche about penalty shoot outs. They're not a lottery, they're a test of technique and composure.

Pollock looking decent again and Scanall looked decent.
Not a lot else to really talk about...perhaps we used it as a pre season game, which is fine but there was 5k available for simply getting a win which could’ve been easily achieved.
Tuesday is another friendly but how will we fair next week when the real football starts?

I see where you're coming from but if both teams were that good technically and have such mental strength, then they'd carry on until midnight It's always realistically going to be an error, a lack of composure or a fluke that decides the outcome...

I thought in patches we were good. Certainly first half after we conceded the goal. Bossed possession for long spells and knocked it around comfortably. Second half we tired and Morecambe didn't.
Think as our fitness improves and we get a few players back available, we could be a decent side.
Preston looks excellent. Scannell has a bit of class about him still. Rose looks real quality. Edwards looked really promising in his cameo. Able to beat players. Khouri handled himself well too which is great for the young lad.
Green was ok. Missed a sitter before a great finish for his goal. But he tires early in the second half still.
Overall fairly optimistic that we'll have a good side when it all comes together.

Wright is not a full back. Wing back maybe. Hes wasted at full back. No surprise we improved when that experiment was binned after a few minutes.
Scannell looks class for this level when fit. Pollock and waterfall had good games as did Rose (apart from the mistake from waterfall for their goal) Preston also looks decent. Macca made some good saves as always.
Passing was very good first half and once we got settled controlled the game until the hour mark. Generally entertaining too despite the lack of goalmouth chances.
Fitness levels were noticeably poor obviously.
Greens one good moment was when play was actually in front of him and he could turn, again no surprise, he can do a rudimentary job at the centre of a 3 with his back to goal but is always going to look out of his depth there. Remember he was originally signed to play wide in a 3 (which he never does now) with him and ogbu eityer side of hanson (remebering his interview from the telegraph) or as a 2 with Hanson.

Did Macca score in the pen shoot out last season? Or did he save from the oppo’s keeper?

I’d be disappointed if a professional darts player turned round after a defeat and said ‘ Well it’s a lottery isn’t it ‘
So let's say that these darts players just had the bull to aim at... Both can maybe hit it 99 times out of a 100 but at some stage, one of them will miss On any other day the one that misses might have hit the target but the probability is that either due to a lack of concentration or their usual reliable skill being just that bit off, one will eventually beat the other. Same as with penalties... normally you'd put money on the best players scoring ( Messi, Ronaldo etc.) but they are human and prone to error. Everyone says Matt Le Tissier was a "perfect penalty taker" but did he have a 100% record?

Town have a difficult season ahead going on this performance. Skillful new players but very lightweight for this division
Jesus. First game and your making ridiculous predictions. Hanson, Moshni, Hendrie all to return yet.

Is it me or does Macca only know how to dive to his right on penalties? I'm pretty sure he does it every shootout

Didn't he save a penalty to his left in the Carabou Cup against Macclesfield last season?

I see where you're coming from but if both teams were that good technically and have such mental strength, then they'd carry on until midnight
It's always realistically going to be an error, a lack of composure or a fluke that decides the outcome...
Exactly, thats how a penalty shoot out works. A player (or several) take a penalty where their technique for that penalty causes them to miss or give the GK an opportunity to save it. I'd disagree that "fluke" has nothing to do with it though. Its totally down to the technique/execution of the player taking the penalty kick, which can be affected by his mentality in handling the pressure situation. If it was fluke or a lottery, why dont we just toss a coin to decide who wins.

He used to only dive to the left a bit back. Maybe changing it a bit might help. 2 to the left one to the right then stand still.for the ones who chip it down the middle then back to the left. Whatever system you use it could still be wrong.

Spin it how you like we were way behind in fitness, lightweight in stature and amateurish in penalty taking, five grand down the drain

Don't think its fair to criticise people like Gibson, Hewitt, Scannell etc for not putting themselves forward to take a pen. How do any of us know they didn't?
Every player on the pitch might have put themselves forward to take one for all we know. Fair play to Macca for wanting to take one but I'd question the decision to let him take on when its clear that his kicking has never been his strong point.

Maybe thinking if he aimed down the middle he’d skew it in to the top corner! 😁 Apparently Ollie was complaining in the post match interview that his keeper had taken a pen. Surely he’s in charge of that? If he gave the decision to the players then don’t complain after.

Really can’t get annoyed about this. It was a friendly in all but name. We have got some decent players there. It’s going to take a couple of months to get them firing though.
So what is it with Ohman?

The club is skint...prize money would have been nice so it wasnt a "friendly". I am glad its out the way though, the minimum number of games the better for this season as far as i am concerned, we only have a few injuries really and the bench today had alot of youngsters on it. Protect the squad for League games to maximise our chances of getting safety as fast as possible and then upwards from there.

Just listened to Holloway's post match interview with JT....
Interesting when he was speaking about the Limbrick situation and how AL didnt want to take the paycut if the players weren't, that he said "John wasn't having it"
So he's not the chairman any more but still calling the shots.

Are we sleepwalking into a contractual minefield with some staff losing 25% of wages but players back on 100%? Leaving AL's case aside as there are other complications, surely we would be better doing what the majority of clubs are doing (whatever that is) rather than digging our heels in? If , for example, the back office, ground maintenance, commercial functions are impacted to the same degree as the pitch, how are we better off? If we get into defending cases in tribunals it can soon be expensive. There is bound to be a test case somewhere in the EFL brought by a club employee. Could there be a return to say 90% if Season tickets pass 2000? I know this will get red crossed for 'hammering the club' but I'm just looking to avoid unnecessary grief for all concerned.

Johns a pretty common name, maybe it wasnt John Fenty he was referring to ?

It must have been a different John he was referring to because he calls Fenty Squeaky.
