Enzo will learn more about his squad & what’s required from this game than smashing Oxford or Cambridge 6:0 

Those waffling about confidence will Liverpool think they will now win the league because they have beaten Leicester 4:0?

Again smashing 6 past Oxford won’t put that much confidence juice in the tanks of professional footballers looking to get back into the premier Lge.

Good point

We somehow look worse than last year. There isn’t a single positive to take.

 

When are we allowed to over react? Just so we know… Christmas?

The Enzo hipsters on here just love having a pop at anyone who dares pose a question. Cult like. 

 

The mere suggestion we might need fitness, physicality and spirit in addition to talent makes you a football neanderthal, it seems

Liverpool barely played any games so far and look far fitter and sharper than us.

 

That is a concern. We look so far off the pace.

They have also got a manager and his methods fully in place for years.

Rubbish, getting a team gelled and in the winning habit is more important than learning about his squad FFS they are not unknowns, they are seasoned international and premier league players.

Back at ya, we can see the gapping issues that need addressing and so will he.

Smashing Oxford 6:0 covers those gaps

Anything mentioned about the missing players from the squad such as Faes, Kristensen?

I don't think anything has been said yet

 

Faes, Kristiansen, and Praet are there though

I still don’t think people realise just how fooked up the club had become.

Its amazing (and ridiculous) that people like Rudkin are still in charge.

Financially we’d lost fortunes, tactically we’d become clueless. We had (and still do have) VERY average footballers on barmy wages.

This is going to take some time to fix. 
You can’t be as bad as we’d become and expect it to turn around overnight.

The biggest issue, for me, is clearly that Top is as soft as shite. I see it and hear it when I listen to him being interviewed.

Sticking with the regime that took us down is awful leadership imo.

I am concerned that Top maybe isn’t ruthless enough.

No chance you're winning.

A week away 

there’s players in this squad that clearly don’t want to be here 

we still look unfit 

we’ve no idea what the starting 11 will be 

other then that alls good

Amazing people are surprised we look worse than last season... We've lost Youri, Madders and Barnes and not replaced them.

 

What do people expect.  

 

Sometimes we had Maddison and Barnes as the wide players in a three today we had Albrighton and McAteer.

[southfox66]

If we had stayed up, would the side we played be much different, I think the players that left, probably still would have gone and we would have just written it off a pre season friendly so in the context of where we are we can view as an ok result ?

What a rediculous statement

Come on then, explain the ‘rediculousness’ of it…

[Simoken]

I honestly think a majority on here expect us to be competitive or win the game again Liverpool. which scares me cause i thought the club was delusional but it seems the fans are too.. cant wait to see the state of this forum after we are mid table in a few months.

[FoxinNotts]

Absolute shower

[JimJams]

Kel should at least get that on target.

I was hoping you’d tell us 

 

Nothing has been mentioned though.

 

I don’t think David “Y’Know” Nugent is in the stadium though, so doubt the questions will get asked.

Even by FoxesTalk over reaction standards this is pathetic. Some of you need to go touch grass. 

Smoking weed isn’t going to help 

[bmt]

We should have been 2 0 up before we conceded.

 

Need a few more players.

 

Made some stupid mistakes.

 

Not much more to learn from today I don't think.

The question we have to ask today is “are we as prepared as we should be after this game for the start of the season?”

 

Unfortunately, I think the answer is “no”.

That's the crux of it. Appalling preparation from a club with its priorities upside down.

[bmt]

Oh and this wasn't a very good pre season programme and we need a bit of luck first few games til things start clicking.

[StanSP]

Ward would have jumped by the time the ball had hit the net  

 

 

[Foxin_Mad]

Well we only lost the 2nd half 1-0 positivity and intensity 

[purpleronnie]

Hopefully all the pre season nonsense will be forgotton when we thrash Coventry.

I know they never saw relegation coming and the Asian tour was arranged months ago but you'd think when we were relegated they'd realize they needed to get their shit together.

 

I fully expect us to still be shifting out players and bringing in panic signings at the end of the window.
