Hughes looked commanding Luke Thomas looked excellent especially first half, am worrying where are the goals coming from? Watched on ifollow and Hoole and Budd did okay, Westbrooke some nice passing, but again our crosses into the box were generally poor. Wanted to see coutts and Finley in midfield, some of their tackles were awful especially the one on Anderton. I think they wanted to prove to us that we were just as likely to pick up injuries on our grass as we would have done on their artificial surface! I don’t recall a team ever getting three yellow cards in a preseason friendly before…not even City!

We used to be so good at unearthing decent strikers - where did it all go wrong? Just thinking back to the first friendly I saw Barry Hayles play in, I think it was 10-0 and could have doubled that but we didn't want to embarrass the opposition

Concerning result.
We were told to expect a completely different team, and while we might physically have that, it still seems we have the same issues with goals.
Only 2 goals scored in preseason - both by Collins and one was a penalty.
I’m not panicking yet, but I am quickly coming deeply concerned.

It’s a possibility that we may not win the league by Xmas.

Please can we go all out and buy a striker, I don't know who, just one that knows where the back of the net is. Keep the faith - there could be good news on the horizon. You aint gonna be a mod are you Tilly ?

Blimey, haven't slept for three days wondering what horrors we will wake up to tomorrow - Time to get sleepy with a bottle of Merlot and some nonsense on Netfilx - Imagine if we were the subject of one of their documentaries - No sleep for another night thinking about that

Lots of work to do especially in the striker department but I do think there's real cause for optimism regarding the young players we have coming through. Obviously a couple of decent showings in pre season is different to forcing their way regularly into the league side but I cant remember a time when we've had such a good crop of youngsters. I hope we see the likes of Ward, Hoole, Budd, Walker, Mehew, Jones, Hulbert & Phillips given some minutes in the trophy games this year, they wont all make it but it's nice to see a group rather than individuals pushing the senior players. Didnt catch his name but the lad that came on at centre back late on looked a decent prospect as well, anyone know anything about him ?

Still missing a lot of players here so not overly concerned more interested in getting through without any more injures. Add a striker to the group and we will be fine. Thomas and Nicholson down either side will be dangerous.

Pretty uninspiring but we have a number of first team players to come back in, so no overly concerned.
We do however need a striker capable of 15-20 goals to have any chance of finishing tp 3, or even top 7.
Unless we find that elusive piece of the puzzle we wont score enough goals.
