Tomaszk Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Perfect man to gel together so many new players. Just a note to say that this first(!) pre-season match is against a team half way through their campaign who have won 7 in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I know was just a friendly but his post game interview he was even picky about some of our play. Even when we were on that winning run he would pick out things that we could improve. Great attitude another thing is I cant remember us ever having a manager that analysed the game so well in post game interviews 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 So this is what a Dean Smith side looks like. Ok it's only Walsall, but his signings look class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great attitude another thing is I cant remember us ever having a manager that analysed the game so well in post game interviews It's a winners mentality, wanting to improve and striving for better at all times rather than taking credit for what went well. You can see the same attitude in his signings, we haven't had it for years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New_Hope Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Totally agree. I am certain we will be a surprise package this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I’m so impressed by how we fielded two different teams in all 3 friendlies ( and each was swapped around aswell) and yet, on the whole, the actual football didn’t change at all. Fantastic to see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 What was our possession tonight? Only saw second half but must have been 70%+ in that period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic to see. Good point. It’s clear a possession based game with a lot of movement is being instilled in to all of them. It’s great to see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say as good as that Blackburn game because I agree that was the best I've ever seen us as well but for pre season standards I'm very happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same intensity wasn’t there as it’s only a friendly but we’re trying to keep the ball until an opening appears. No aimless crosses and balls in to the box. If there’s nothing on we start again and everyone looked comfortable on the ball. I think we will play some good stuff this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
