Cheers foot

Really hopeful for our young ones. Looking good.
Cook's development is mental. Being with England
in the summer looks to have paid off. Well done him.

Cheers footshooter....

Good report, thanks!

Thanks, footshooter. After reading some of the comments in the YEP, I was getting ready to polish off the brandy and it's only 9.00 a.m. in this part of the planet.

Cheers footshooter always good to read the views of an intelligent articulate and unbiased witness.

Can I ask that you expand on the reasoning for your comment about Bianchi

Sounds like we played ok then? Was it an improvement from Mansfield then?

I'm not a pessimist but 3 shots on goal to 18 and equally the same at Mansfield. Are those ratings a bit too good cos the commentary I listened to suggested we were rubbish.

Commentary I listened to suggested we got better later in the game. One new recruit started yesterday.

We'll see what happens over the next 2 weeks....

Thanks for the thankses. In no particular order (but Eric first in recognition of his intelligent articulate and unbiased flattery):
- Bianchi - too much standing still (lazy, clueless, overawed to be playing for Leeds, or a good footballing brain?) No worthwhile outcomes, which is why the jury’s out.
- Battywack - didn’t go to Mansfield so can’t really comment, but a draw is better than a defeat, no?
- LS110ES - I agree - far too few shots on goal, but this is the first time the coach’s intended starting XI has begun a match together, so on balance I’m prepared to give them time to gel (but not a lot). There was some good passing, and some bad passing, but no hoof ball, so I think they’re setting about things the right way. Whether it works remains to be seen, but as I said, we really do need a proven striker and more creative players (game changers if you like) before my glass gets any fuller.
- Stefano - yes, we did get better as the game progressed, but then for the first 10 minutes we were rubbish. Defo improving - but is it enough?

Cheers dear fellow, could it just be first night nerves or lack of communication possibly...?

I wasn't there so cannot say, merely asking.



Does Silvestri look as though he might command his area...?

He might Eric. Their two goals both came from rapid breakouts, not sustained attacks, so difficult to tell.

Cheers mate.
