Quoted from lukeo
In truth he was the worst player on the pitch the first 30mins. Literally couldn't make a 5 yard pass  
I'm not going to read too much into it. He's either unwell or injured because as mentioned above he was also copulated doing the box runs at half time.


Bizarre statement. He made loads of completed passes and was 'growing into the game' before losing the ball for their goal. Up to that moment he showed that he can be an effective link between defence and attack. Other players lost the ball in tight situations in other areas but with less immediate results. Were Efete, Holohan and Rose also the 'worst player on the pitch?'

Too much reading into individual performances at this stage of pre-season. Individually, very few seemed to stand out as having anything other than average games.

I thought Vernam in flashes looked good, Eisa definitely grew into the game and Mullarkey looked a class act in the centre of defence. It's more important to see how the team is gelling, in addition to shaking that ring rust off.

Pyke and Wilson looked to develop a decent understanding and the previously mentioned Conteh diag out to Vernam and/or the overlapping fullbacks is very encouraging.

The one player who really stood out for me was Aaron Braithwaite, playing out of position at right back but looked incredibly comfortable when both defending and going forward.

The only point of pre season is to build fitness. That’s it. Even results are irrelevant..though you’d rather win it really doesn’t matter. Mistakes..all part of learning. And you’d rather them now than when it matters.

I remember Akpa-Akpro scoring 4 in a 12-1 win over Winterton. We got relegated out of the Football League that season.

flipping hell, I bet you’re fun at parties.

It’s pre season, it literally means nothing, granted Saturday will be a better test but still hardly important. Christ, we had a decent pre season under Newell…that worked well…
