Sweaty Gussets Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Sharpe made the point earlier that JDT's tactics are that the front 4 all play more centrally and that the width comes from the full-backs, hence why Brittain was bought as he's supposed to be an attacking full-back.

Pickering a shambles at left back, boy can’t run. I don't think Adam Wharton has looked out of place at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving it this late for signings is a major concern as we are going into the season so unprepared. We need a lot of new faces to come in. I’m giving it the benefit of doubt as it’s pre-season…But yes, a midfielder in next week would work nicely. I think everyone is curious to see how we lineup for the QPR…Nerves/Excitement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you marry the starters from the Hartlepool game with the starters from this one you've got a solid team. There's just no depth, which is understandable considering 10 first team players have walked out the door and we've only brought 1 in. We need a LB, a CM and a ST at a minimum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Somerset Rover Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I really don’t understand why we haven’t played our strongest team in one pre season match - it’s all been 50/50. Hardly the perfect preparations for next weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callumrovers Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 It’s not been awful. We have had majority of possession, just the final ball letting us down. Good- Hedges, Travis and Phillips. Adam Wharton is showing his inexperience, 2 or 3 times he’s lost the ball in dangerous positions, if we were playing championship standard would of been punished. Dack- can still see the quality but clearly lacking match fitness and rusty. Dolan - ineffective but is a pressing machine. Diaz- done nothing of note. Pickering and Carter have both done OK, not a lot of threat going forward but defensively fine. Need to sort out the offsides been caught 4 or 5 times now. Can see the press in action that JDT wants but need to press more as a team rather than individuals. Ash Phillips is going to be a top 6 centre half when’s he older. Calm, strong and plays balls through the lines, quality player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing Wizard Windy Miller Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Unless Gallagher is leading the line, then he, Hedges and Brereton don't look like they can play 'centrally'. The 2 full backs offer no width. Only positive is that Phillips looks very comfortable playing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly the perfect preparations for next weekend. Because he wants to see the backups get game time with the First XI. They're going to have to do it during the season, why not during the preseason when results don't matter? How does Wharton look alongside Travis? Phillips alongside Wharton? Vale alongside Gallagher? Now we know. It also clarifies where we need strengthening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
