This is the starting lineup against Leicester in the friendly today
Dawson
Lees
Van Aken
Iorfa
Palmer
Harris
Bannan
Luongo
Brown
Reach
Rhodes
Leicester have a strong lineup, with Vardy, Barnes and Tielemanns starting.

All Leicester so far as you'd expect. Our lineup is weak to be fair. They've got some serious quality in their team
Horrendous miss there by Iorfa, free header...

I suspect Dunkley, Borner and that new young lad will see some action in the 2nd half.
We really need a couple of strikers before the season starts, there's only Rhodes who is recognised. One of the young lads has been training with the first team, Hagan I think his name is, but he wont be ready to compete yet.

Desperate for a striker
Van Aken in the wrong position again so committing mistakes

0-0 @ HT.
Considering the opposition I think we have done Ok, Negatives Rhodes and Reach, Palmer is not a wing back.
Brown looks decent, Bannan has actually put some decent balls in

Reach looked shit
Passing and the ability to control the ball are skills we still don't have
Both teams have been poor in finishing but they're forced saves we haven't

0-0 FT
We finished with 6 players from the U23s on the pitch.
Fair play to the defense for keeping a clean sheet, but where are the goals going to come from.
2 weeks before the serious stuff starts, hope Monk has a couple of strikers lined up or we will be relegated by Christmas.

I'm more worried about the inability to pass and control the ball, that's basic stuff!!
The rest falls into place when you achieve the above. The amount of times the ball just bounces off our players or passes go to the opposition is unfathomable and embarrassing.
This has to be worked on, absolutely must be worked on.
But we won't, ever

Got to sell Reach fast he's devaluing every game he plays.
He just hasn't and doesn't fit in with monks tight fit tactical boredom !
Udubongo was at his useless 10mintes late a tackle and terrible crossing for the millionth time as well ...he's a goal down every game we play with give away pens etc.
Da what is most likely going to be the striker we bring in by the rumours ... meaning we won't have a striker untill the next transfer window like Kev says it will be way to late by then !!
Amazing we had 15000 strikers now we haven't got 1 ffs ...
And again we always look like we can knick a win playing away in this tight tactical boredom ...but it's no good at home we just don't have good enough players to attack and make Hillsborough a fortress !
If we don't sort out home form out ..winning every game and the odd draw then we will be down by xmas again !!
O and the demented dog is the new captain meaning the same old shit !
