We have another behind closed doors game Tuesday

Will we risk first team players with the game next Saturday with lack of depth in the squad

 

[Pegojack]

Losing doesn't matter? Yes, it feckin DOES! It's a very bad habit to get into.

 

[Swansea93]

Vipotnik not getting much minutes

 

[SwanseaJack]

watching the Rangers Boro game and they do look sharp. Going to have to be proper up for it if we are to get anything off them in 2 weeks time

Was just going to say they’re looking decent

Hopefully those in charge have had the Snoop nonsense out of their system and go back to doing some work in the transfer market because, let's face it, we need it on the evidence of these past two friendlies.

Losing in preseason doesn’t matter in my opinion. The object isn’t to win those games

 

[Ringwood]

The results pre-season are irrelevant but fitness and momentum is. I was hoping to see our non scoring midfield chip in against lower opposition and cut out the silly set peice goals.

Hopefully this process irons out who Sheehan wants and doesn't require in the squad to clarify further who we need to bring in.

Doesn't take a genius to work out what's required so hopefully that can be put right before the season starts.

Losing and playing crap against League One and Two teams in succession (both opponents expected to struggle in their leagues) is very worrying.

What’s worse is we ain’t even creating nothing

 

[ABSwan]

Nearly 2 down then

Not for me personally, I’ve seen us play crap in preseason before against worse than league one and two teams (Richmond Kickers comes to mind). It has no bearing on the season ahead.

Don’t get me wrong, if we’re 5, 10 games in and not creating and scoring, then I’d be worried but I’m not bothered enough about preseason form to be worried at the moment.

Optimism slowly getting deflated?
Not watching the game but doesn't make for good reading and people seeing no game plan.

I wonder if Sheehan will be mentioning the need for more players again in his presser.

 

[Swansea93]

Squad is thin we need at least 4/5 when the likes of Ginnelly and Yates leave.
