Deary me. This lot look a level above ours 2-0 and hit the post. Rovers look absolute dross. Chasing shadows.

Scores don’t matter in pre-season, but looking abject does. We’ve a weak team if two absent starters drop us this far below the standard. Pasha no doubt chuckling his way to a second Aston Martin as a thank you bonus for saving the Raos more money, the scoundrel.

This team is slow all over the field

Yeah we’re not beating this lot

Must be watching something different to me

I don't think people are turning on him, he is being played out of position. He has been played there before, out of position and made poor mistakes. I feel sorry for him, not digging him out.

Really bad today

concerning that the first step up in opposition has us struggling badly

Young lad makes a mistake at RB which can happen to anyone and you lot are all over him. Poor form.

Nothing short of embarrassing first 33mins. Hoofing it up too Ohashi isn’t gonna work. I don’t know why De Neve is starting ahead of Kargbo, no earthly idea.

We’ve knicked the ball off them in some good places but the front three are over matched and out paced. Montgomery embarrasses for the penalty. Looks a step off the pace and nothing dangerous up front.

Little to get enthused about. Montgomery looks over-hyped and De Neve innocuous. We've no craft and no control. We need quality additions both urgently and in number who will walk into our starting 11.

What about this one?

Criminal that our squad has been left woefully short again one week out from the season opener. Happens every year though so it's no surprise. Hedges, Tyjon, Ohashi, and De Neve has surely got to be one of the weakest front 4s in the championship.

Hedges/DeNeve offer no threat at all.

they can`t think much of alabisiu if he`s stuck on the bench behind a young lad who is`nt even a right back in a friendly😒

Today was always going to expose the weak spots but the main thing is get through it with no injuries the result don't really matter.

deffo pen given by Montgomery

Duru getting closer to starting at right-back.

He a young player, still tons to learn, by no means written off if played in another position, but Montgomery at right back is a constant bomb scare

Awful that. I reckon I could have defended that better

I struggle to get that excited by his potential knowing he will walk away for a very low compensation figure this summer or within the next 12 months

with the pressure game that val wants i think you need a deep squad,you can`t play a high tempo game two games a week without a lot of players
