Pre-season matches

Larkeche beaten at the back post and poor from Cannon in the build up.

Am I allowed to repeat that for me Lareche looks miles away from this level? Makes me very uncomfortable when he's on the pitch.

Cannon continues to disappoint too, I don't expect we will see much of him this season.

We played well though, lots to be happy with. The young lads all looked decent in the final 20. Their 2nd goal was very much against the run of play.

Very entertaining friendly and I thought we looked really good... Great to see the reserves come on and play so well... Would love to see some of them get some minutes next season

I thought Lloyd looked especially strong.

Yes I agree. I would love to have seen Murphy get time on the pitch too, but there was an overall need to get players to match fitness for 2 weeks time, and that takes priority.

northwesthoop mentioned concerns over Larkeche and Cannon, and I agree in defending they are not as solid as I would like; but going forward Larkeche interlinks well. To all of the comments above, I would add that I was impressed with Dykes! Coming back from injury and not match-fit by any stretch of the imagination, he made himself a nuisance and nearly scored. This match will have pleased Marti because he learnt a lot about who listens to his instructions and who puts in a decent shift. That said, Spurs in defence were solid, able to move the ball around better, and in attack their finishing was just that bit better.

I struggled to work out who went off and came on each time!   Perhaps Spurs' method of swapping everyone worked better in that regard!!

QUESTION: Who would you make MotM from our side? I think it is a difficult one to agree upon. Cook, in particular, was really good in defence; Nardi made some excellent saves; and Andersen created a lot in a tight middle of the pitch. I think Nardi edged it, but do you agree?

QUESTION: Did we miss Sinclair Armstrong or Chris Willock?

As I mentioned on another post, I do wonder if it's part of the disciplinary procedure the club mentioned regarding Chair. They may have suspended him for a number of matches? Just a theory.

Good thing is we actually are talking about strikers before a season starts
We normally have virtually none
Frey and dykes and our new signing celar,it’s looking a bit more promising this season on the goal front
Only concern is we lack pace up front now Armstrong has gone
