Pre Season

[Din]

No Buendia after he was pictured limping off in the open training session yesterday

 

[dj161]

3-0 up after 14 minutes, Steips with the 1st, Drmic with a double

 

[dj161]

4-1 at half time, Drmic with a hat trick

 

[dj161]

5-1 at full time, Roberts (not Iwan) with the only goal in the second half

 

[morty]

That went pretty well then! Looks like we have made some useful additions in Drmic and Roberts!

Inserts a note of caution regarding playing preseason games to build up fitness and putting too much importance on results against lower League opponents.

Highlights from Luton

 

[Canaryboy]

When we signed Drmic I googled his height and it said 5ft 9in, so I thought he was a similar height and build to Pukki.

But going on those highlights he looks as tall Kenny McLean who is 6ft and looks a couple of inches taller than Cantwell who is apparently 5ft 10"?

Nice bonus if he's actually able to offer an aerial threat of some sort, may just weird camera angles though?

Its either platform shoes or Cuban heels mate.

Drmic and Roberts looking fantastic

Going to the Atlanta game later today, and really looking forward to it actually. Been far too long!

I’m going to watch it on YouTube with a nice drink

youtube link for those after it

 

[Number 9]

Byram bit of a worry.
We gifted them the goal.
EMI seems quiet.
Some good stuff from City, good preseason workout.

 

[Number 9]

Heise wasn't up to speed I think it's fair to say.
EMI seemed quiet 2nd half too.
Hey ho preseason

 

[Fenway Frank]

I thought Byram did reasonably well, Cantwell was our best player in the first half, perhaps keeping him here instead of a loan isn’t such a bad thing

 

[dj161]

I'd of said if we'd of brought in one or two more players then loan him out, as it is he's a handy squad player to have especially as he can play either through the middle or out wide

 

[Din]

Well beaten in the end, but all in all a really good test against what has to be said was a fantastic side. Not hard to see why Atalanta are in the Champions League.

There were definitely positives to take though. I actually thought we edged the first half. We played some really nice stuff at times and looked sharp on the ball. Poor error from Klose for their goal before half-time which is something we can't afford to do this season, but I'm sure Klose and Farke are well aware of that.

For me Godfrey was probably man of the match. He was an absolute beast at times particularly first half. Cantwell also very impressive as said above. Leitner, Trybull, Lewis and Pukki all performed well.

 

[GJP]

Thought Godfrey was the standout, clear MOTM for me. But I did think Cantwell did very well too.

Found Buendia a little bit on the lazy side.

Or a bit on the "just back from injury" side maybe?

He was definitely quiet.

Byram was being pushed off the ball and being run over by Atlanta and when he did get forward, had no end product.
Quite a few of Godfrey's outstanding plays were digging out Byram.

Heise will probably feel that he was responsible for at least two of Atlanta goals.
