Grim Reaper Posted 15 July, 2023 Share Posted 15 July, 2023 So we are aiming to get back to the premier league at the first attempt, how do you think that’s going to go with him in goal ? diving the wrong direction as usual 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Matty 76 Posted 15 July, 2023 Share Posted 15 July, 2023 (edited) Be interesting to see how we do playing possession football against a deep opponent who have taken the lead.

OttawaSaint Posted 15 July, 2023 Share Posted 15 July, 2023 A goalkeeper who can keep goal is an absolute priority if we want to be successful this season. Get it done Saints. Don't regret it like the striker fiasco last season! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloucester Saint Posted 15 July, 2023 Share Posted 15 July, 2023 Club need to be onto agents to get an experienced keeper in to compete with McCarthy. Bazanu needs to go out on loan in League 2 (his confidence isn’t up to another stint in League 1 at the moment) for the next season, maybe two. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca155 Posted 15 July, 2023 Share Posted 15 July, 2023 Probably worth remembering it's an early pre season game, squad players being used, and the temperature is ridiculously high. Doesn't excuse some rank goalkeeping, and poor passing. Just pass and go, really not a complicated game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwicksaint Posted 15 July, 2023 Share Posted 15 July, 2023 I also don’t think our CB’s are good enough to play the possession game. It’s all too slow when it gets to them, they dribble it up to the halfway line looking for a pass and play the most simple one to the right/left back who’s then closed down immediately… or they play a shite ball over the top that runs out for a goal kick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Saint Posted 15 July, 2023 Share Posted 15 July, 2023 As alluded to, it only be a preseason friendly but they're a Turkish Division 2 side and we look no better than last season. Offer next to nothing going forwards and so many players with a guaranteed fuck up in the locker. What the hell have they been 'working on' in training because this is like a continuation of last season, all fart and no shit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously very talented. Just not ready to be a number one. Keepers don't mature until about 24-25. Look at the way Gunn is now starting to come into his own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
