saintjay77 Posted 30 July, 2011 Share Posted 30 July, 2011 I'm guessing after oxo getting injured a few players have 1 eye on the 1st game of the season. Pressure may be off but fitness and injury free must be higher on the priority list than beating yoville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlesaint Posted 30 July, 2011 Share Posted 30 July, 2011 Why do you think this match isn't preparation? Exactly. We played a Prem team on Wednesday and a League 1 team today, what more should we do ? Teams in the same league dont tend to play pre-season games against each other, unless its one of these ridiculous tornaments in Outer Mongolia.

Saint Charlie Posted 30 July, 2011 Share Posted 30 July, 2011 Can't see why the result is overly important, we drew away at a L1 team and took off a lot of our better players. Overall a good pre season. Hopefully Adkins will be asked about additions after the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint lard Posted 30 July, 2011 Share Posted 30 July, 2011 Meh,playing a friendly, be it Yeovil or otherwise,has no real bearing on the forthcoming campaign. Improving fitness,ironing out training ground techniques,allowing new players to 'gel' with team mates and not getting longterm injuries in the process are the aims.

del boy Posted 30 July, 2011 Share Posted 30 July, 2011 "At the end of the day the result isn't important at this stage. We've got a squad of players at this football club and until next week its about getting those players fit and keeping them injury free. We've got a few knocks before todays game and three players didn't get on the bus today. We've got a first class medical and fitness team here and we'll be looking to get those players ready for selection as soon as possible. Thats what you're looking for as a manager - a full squad of players, hungry for success and competing for places. There were a lot of positives from today's game; we passed the ball around and kept possession ever so well, especially in the first half, we've scored two terrific goals and we've picked up no more knocks. The first goal was something we've been working on in training and as a manager its satisfying to see the players take that into the game. Some of our defensive discipline was a little bit disrupted in the second half by the changes we made, but thats something we'll look at, we'll look through the film of the game, we'll analyse where we can do better and we'll get everything ready for next weekend. As you know we're trying to get some new faces into the building but were taking our time to get that right and make sure we add real quality to the good squad we've already got in place here."

BallBoy Posted 30 July, 2011 Share Posted 30 July, 2011 My overall impression of pre-season is that we can create goals and score goals but we are also conceding too many. I know this is only practice but defensive mistakes will be punished in the real world. They could be the difference between being low to mid table or challenging for promotion. I would really like to see a solid, experienced centre back to partner Fonte. That would make me feel much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

up and away Posted 30 July, 2011 Share Posted 30 July, 2011 The important bit comes against Leeds next weekend. I fully believe that we have this squad of players in the best shape for the season ahead, but not sure if we have sufficient to make big enough a dent. To get any where we will need to stop leaking goals and Ricky to lead the line, neither of which has been obvious as yet. Looking forward to Leeds to see where we actually are, even though Leeds are not at their strongest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thedelldays Posted 30 July, 2011 Share Posted 30 July, 2011 now back home. Gully was brilliant in the "hole"...always on the ball and never really gave it away...he was pretty lame on the right.. seaborne was very good and had very good distribution...far better than jaidi when he came on..my christ he is soooooooo slow and cannot pass the ball butterfield was excellent, his delivery at times on the right is top notch special metion to kelvin and his drag back past their striker thoroughly enjoyed watch as stroke the ball around to feet until the mass changes... going from today...my starting line up (i know it does not work like that but sod it) davis butters harding seaborne fonte lallana cork morgan de ridder guly connolly sorry but lambert was pretty poor today...
