Sorry, I'll remember to lie next time and say they all had good games.

Stating a full-back is too small and lightweight? Really..!

That tackle on their lad second half was awful and a straight red.
I was right in line with our players (was it staunton?) leg and it went straight through their lad no where near the ball. I think their player was a trialist and was in tears as he hobbled down the touchline past me.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand...

I'm hoping the one up front formation was employed simply to get game time in players. Both doyle and Vaughan looked isolated in that role, and Donaldson spent more time at right back than Henley did

As it's only a friendly any slight knock or tightness was never going to be risked which was why some changes were made. If it had have been a league game the like of Paudi O'Connor and Longridge would probably have played so Mellor can go to right back and Longridge plays left backJayteebee and Wolfysmith like this. -

Really don't have any hope for Akpan, Patrick and Gibson.
Akpan and Patrick won't get any better. They are limited by either mentality or ability. Gibson, same crap: looks promising, tries to do too much, thinks he's good when he's really bang average even at reserve level.
Worried by the reviews for Doyle and Scannell. Two huge players, but very ineffective as City players so far. Huge improvements required from both. Two more coasters?
Oh, and bless the three or four posters clinging desperately to the idea Doyle works hard. Cuties!Rocket and Rogered Tart like this. -

Doyle and Scannell had decent games, Scannell more so, nothing to be concerned about with that.The Evidence and BoingBoing like this. -
To be fair I thought Gibson showed some promise today. Yes it did not all work out, but he kept going and as has already been posted numerous times, it was only a friendly.
The other player who seemed to have a decent forty five minutes was Riley, although he was not really tested in his defensive capacities.Botswana Bantam and Broadsider like this. -
Someone should be able to criticise when they see fit, i'm not sure what putting a positive spin on it is going to achieve apart from appeasing the precious few. Plus, it's not any different from you saying that Vaughan needs to sharpen up his finishing, is it.How and bantam2708 like this. -

Out of the trialists on show, the one who looked to have something about him was Reagan Booty. Tidy and industrious. I would think that he was worth another look at, especially if some of our players move on.

On a completely different tack I thought of Donaldson as a big target man and I note on wikipedia he's given as 6'1". Well, I walked past him as I left the ground yesterday and was very surprised by how not big he seemed. But then footballers are all a lot smaller and lighter than they seem on the pitch. At his prime Gordon Strachan weighed less than 10 stone. Alan Clarke 10 stone 8 pounds. Drogba, seemingly a big beast, weighed about 13 stone I think. Anyway, I'm 6'1" and he's smaller than me. A bit quicker though. Having said that Richards-Everton looks a right monster. Hope he can play football.

Gibson however, clearly has talent but the mental side of his game is dreadful, but the foundations are there for Bowyer to work with him if Gibson himself is up for it.
But Patrick? Sorry but he's got nothing to his game, just pace which more often than not is pointless as he forgets to take the ball with him.Doodle and The Evidence like this. -

If Bowyer has spoken to him and is prepared to have him as part of the team, then I will go with that as he is in a much better position than any of us to assess both his performance and attitude. Personally I don’t want to hear anything from AOC this season, all I want to see is him getting his head down and working his socks off.RonnieBrown and MallorcaBantam like this.
