Pity. But a good shot.

That's harsh. Great goal but we didn't deserve that after a pretty decent 2nd half

That was a cracking finish to be fair.

So at it looks like a good defense, a reasonable midfield and absolutely nothing up front.
Worrying.

Carroll didn't look out of place. Loved the reaction when that Leeds lad tried it on. Lesson was on scene pretty sharpish if it did go off!

Ledson is having another good game. Looks like the shackles have been taken off with Lunny elsewhere

Tough pre-season. Maybe next year line up line up a couple games against Hellenic league sides for morale boosting wins

Hopefully 2-0 defeats on the bounce will create some urgency to bring in a goal scorer. I saw Martinez scored for Hammers today. He may be encouraged to come back with Pep Clotet there?

Playing one up top against very good championship sides is always tough. Johnson showed his class and hopefully the extra space we will get against teams our own level will show that these games were worthwhile.

Harsh to call us "toothless" against a top championship side, with some good defending from them (especially against Thomas). Let's at least wait until we see a few games in League 1.

Why wait until then and miss the opportunity to criticise a solid performance considering the opposition? Surprised someone hasn't said 'We really need a left back".

I like our intensity. Think we will press teams a lot more this season off the ball Agree mate. I watched it, and had Radio Ox on. Have to say I think we did look a solid quick passing unit, and did a lot of closing down, and kept trying to use the ball quickly. Yes, we didn't have enough shots, but that will hopefully come, as it is a clear part of our game that needs looking at. But I felt watching today, that we looked a good outfit, and against lesser opposition, would have scored a few. Roll on Oldham.

I watched it and thought we were ok. Passed it around well in the midfield. We created pretty much zilch though so if that makes me negative so be it.

Listened to the game ( as I was doing the ironing ) Payne and when fully fit Williamson look to be good acquisitions. Still mistakes at the defence that led to their first goal also in the previous 2 friendlies hopefully these will be sorted before next Saturday. Jerome has said he thinks someone who will start next week where is not actually at the club yet he has also stated he hasn't heard anything, all I can say is I hope it anstriker a proven one.

Think that's why it's good to get a mix of opposition in preseason. Couple of big draws at home an 1 or two similar level or below away. Only about fitness mostly and we have done ok against championship teams, but maybe a win against a Lincoln side going into sat would have given a bit of confidence, especially for our strikers that thrive on confidence . Anyway, it been a long strange old preseason. Highs, lows, differences of opinion and levels of concern. But the football seasons back and before long we will all be sat freezing our bollocks off doing what we all love .

Agreed, not certain it's been great preparation for the forwards/goal scorers, would of been good to give them games where they will get plenty of chances to get their confidence up. All done now though, just have to learn the lessons for next summer

Also agree. Playing 5 games against championship clubs in preseason is a bit daft. I'm not quite sure how the players are supposed to put into practice some of the stuff they've been working on when they've had so little of the ball.

I dunno, wouldn't be surprised if there's been several games that have been behind closed doors.

I'm pretty sure that it was something over 13,000 (the info came up briefly during the second half).
