Pre-season friendly thread

[AndyWolves]

Felt like we had a plan in the first half.

Second half was bleugh, I hate those long punts when we've been out of possession for a long time. Just puts us back under pressure against

 

[big mean bunny]

I mean, it doesn't matter.

But the ref blowing 10 seconds prior to 90 mins when the ball is in the area at Samuels feet is fucking bizarre.

15 mins later kick off so he obviously has plans.

It was kids second half. I wouldn’t worry too much.

Who played No. 12 for Wolves? He looked decent, apart from the ginger beard.

It's a pre-season friendly, I wouldn't worry too much.

Enjoyed the first half, higher press , higher pace and more attacking intent. I do think that we will need to defend a lot better but that will come with games and minutes. I dont see what Ruddy did wrong to be fair. He came for two or three crosses well. Kicking was about the same as always. The goal looked dodgy. Second half was minutes for the kids. Otasowie showed both sides to his game. A beast and errors. I am not thinking many of those u23 will be knocking om the first team bus door soon.

I thought pre booked train tickets home that cant be changed !

My opinions on Lage's style based on reading this and Twitter are the same as when I read about it before we officially announced him. If you are playing a high 442 and pushing your full backs on you need 2 bloody good holding midfielders and centre halves with pace. Over to you Scott (cough)

What position? If it was the RB that's Jack Scott

 

[Tony Towner]

Scott was 12

If we play the style we played in the first half in the PL without some serious upgrades at CB and CM Lage will be out of a job after 10 games.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Well as we are clearly doing that I wouldn’t worry.

 

[prawnking]

All sounds like quite the swing in style from how we played under Nuno.

Lots of training ground and transfer work needed to give it a good chance, I reckon

 

[AndyWolves]

I know people say one of Lage's strengths is working with young players but none of these under 23 players look anywhere near the first team.

Taylor Perry got MOTM

I was talking about the players that were on when I posted it in the 2nd half.

Seems a bit unfair to evaluate Lages ability to develop young players on the second half alone.

What the fuck are you talking about

 

[jd1981]

Just the 8 first team players missing today before anymore signings, I really wouldn’t be losing sleep just yet

Yes?

None of the under 23 players we have are ready to make an impression on the first team.

I thought it would be taken as a given that I am not moaning at Lage about this considering he has worked with them for about 2 weeks, you can only work with what you have . FFS
