    Early days tonight of course but I enjoyed watching us attack with pace and purpose in contrast to the slow and ponderous crap we've seen over recent years. Hopefully a sign of what's to come.

    Yes, despite the opposition, there was plenty on show there to indicate we ain’t being run like a pub team any more.
    The style , the pace, the attitude was on show for all to see. Those who watched the game saw it quite quickly. A breath of fresh air , compared to the plodding , predictable fare we have seen over the last few seasons. He hasn’t seen his “best” 11 on last night showing, because the philosophy of cover for every position was there in spades. I think we could easily see different mixes of players home and away. Angol was up against amateur defenders for sure, but on that showing he could easily play the lone man up front at away games, his ball control and hold up play shows if he applies himself ( last chance saloon anyway) then he might, just might prove to be shrewd piece of recruitment.

    Results in friendlies aren’t the be all and end all but all the same you want to look cohesive and like you have a plan and are starting to develop a style.

    inspector nailed it above - often we have had a chaotic preseason but last night we got a good vibe. We looked prepared and the early signs (based on the good early tempo and pressing) are Adams is making his mark.

    Yeah, it was the old shooting fish in a barrel though.... there was a 0% chance he wasn't all over that result at the time!

    Loving the way the media team are now promoting the club. Seems like we have that box ticked.

    After reading that I'd cancel the fixture, not worth our players having to potentially isolate and especially not worth it against a bunch of kids and triallists.

    Oops Kevin. Just spotted your wink. So we agree. But I get so bloody narked with some posters who reckon players only worry about getting playing fitness minutes in. They play to win, always.

    and well done to City, no food or drink kiosks but they had people handing out free bottles of water. I wonder if they had tops on?? (the bottles, not the people handing them out)

    Its irrelevant. Wed night at Farsley Celtic with a cool pint would be more attractive than a boiling hot Saturday afternoon at VP.
