Think Boro will be rubbing their hands together waiting for next Saturday.

 

[Michu78]

Different level to us.

 

[Jackareme]

If Vipotnik is neither injured or packing a bag - surely he has to start ahead of Cullen - he is totally ineffective
Don’t get me started on Fulton - a nice cocktail of giving fouls away and passing backwards irrespective of what other options are available

 

[K23]

I hope Lorient bring on 10 subs at HT

 

[Longlostjack]

The CB situation is worrying. As is Fulton still playing for us.

Much of Sheehan's success in the spring was a result of opponent specific tactics. Perhaps he hasn't bothered to prepare as closely in the preseason and is just focusing on fitness

Don't fall for it's only a friendly especially with a week to go.
I remember a friendly under Duff against Bristol Rovers and thinking this is going to be a tough season.....getting a worse feeling here.

Too many players injured from pre season and a desperately thin squad, probably the thinnest for many a season.

Straws, clutching

The structure of the summer recruitment is a worry for me.
Hopefully this poor pre season has got the alarm bells ringing and it's sorted in the next few weeks.

 

[K23]

Pen, it gets worse ffs

Penalty Parker gave away

 

[K23]

0-3

 

[ABSwan]

Getting really really worried for the season ahead. We have no backbone at all, we go into the season like this we'll be slaughtered.

 

[Swans Jack]

Parker is shocking. He has not helped himself in those 3 goals. The team looks like its in desperate need for a striker and Centre Back. Like we didn't know that already
