Reid as a false 9 will be Hollywood. Last season as a 10 he was never anywhere near involved enough on the ball for such a role but he has a knack of being in the right place and can finish.

 

I suspect it will be the same if he plays as a striker. Won't get on the ball to do what's needed but will find space and tuck the odd one away.

Should score for fun at this level

[coolhandfox]

Ok lets see what Martin can do to change this.

I've only just realised Malaga are now a La Liga side. 

 

Good test for us at this stage of pre-season. 

Most of their first choice midfield and attack from last season is now on the pitch and you can certainly tell

 

Including their star striker who got 24 league goals

Some of our players are doing nothing like Hamza...just ball watching 

[Philkeavo]

Malaga have up the tempo and showing their quality.

[James and his giant peach]

Wow total nonsense this half, they're walking through us. Souttar can fvck off, Hamza is shite, first half team was miles better.

*Malaga first half team was a lot worse

[MGLCFC]

I'm glad we're having a good work out against better opposition - bring them back down to reality a little

[Kinowe Soorie]

Full back switched off there, could be tired with a little bit of inexperience also.

I never know if its a parody when people say these kinds of things.

 

We'll be saying Luke Thomas will "piss it at this level" each division down to the national league.

True, I read your posts, however we have also been weakened. Certain players have been very poor. 

[StinckleyFox]

Great to see all the wet wipes coming out the woodwork the second we go behind

[moore_94]

4 more changes:

 

Thomas > Coulibaly

Joseph > Aluko

Skipp > Neale

Mavididi > Carr

take a chill pill. They are a top tier Spanish side. They just brought on their main team.

He was playing in the Prem and look comptent in the champ should be starting ahead of Mav

[lcfcbluearmy]

Does Micheal Golding exist?

[martyn]

Choudhury should be 4th choice CM at best judging by what ive seen in pre season.
