Cadiz v Leicester (Friendly)

[DZ-LCFC]

good pre-season 

 

we are going down

[Rubbersoul]

Page, Braybrooke & Alves will be a good watch this season 

[Long Eaton Fox]

I like how the team is progressing with the academy players but feel we need some more steel through the spine of the team.  A strong powerful CM and CF is required and CB if players leave.

[Bert]

From what I seen, which was mainly the second half we seemed to put some nice passages of play together. Look fit, pressed well. 

[Pliskin]

Braybrook is looking superb.

Exactly this. However, first half was pretty dire tbh

Can't really give much insight into the game, bits i saw were sh1t ..

 

However...

 

Every single one of the players and manager came over, thanked us for coming and had photos with us. All had a laugh and seemed genuinely down to earth.

 

Feel harsh saying anything negative after how they were with us post game.

It’s nice to just have a squad of players that want to play for us

Yeh, and i got those vibes.

 

Im still waiting for Choudhury to come back with his signed boxers,  but yeah, seemed a nice bunch.

I tell you what but after the last four seasons I cannot emphasise how absolutely ready I am for an academy number 9 to come through and tear it up.

 

A really great start for Kirsten and puts him in pole position for that starting berth at the beginning of the season.

 

If we can't get a deal over the line for a more experienced option by the start of the season, he has a brilliant chance to stake a claim. I hope he takes it like he's taken his pre-season goals.

 

I'm trying not to contribute to putting too much pressure on him but I'm excited.

I get it’s pre-season but we’ve scored 9 goals in four games. 

The quality of opposition hasn't been great.

 

Yes we have but we aren't creating lots of chances.

Thankfully for us we’re in League 1

Coming after vardy was huge pressure.

Biggest worry is the lack of pace, and were the goals are coming from.

Yeah said it for ages now and the lack of height, it limits our options.

 

Braybrooke and Alves look so confident and strong together finally, waited years for a pre-season where they look the part. Probably what's happening now with Evans, it can take a few years even if they appear like they ought to be able to compete.

I think we've not made it easy for Evans where he's pretty much always played with a weaker midfield behind him. Is Otchere really better than him or benefiting from being around better players?

 

Riley Carr was also quiet today who previously looked very impressive when he had quality players feeding him the ball. I think Evans would look better playing with Alves, Braybrooke and Page.

Thought we looked neat and tidy but really need some pace and power down the spine. Big 6’+ forward and a CM in the mould of Ndidi and some pace down the wings would transform us particularly in the tight scrappy games we’ll inevitably be in.
