Let’s be honest Matthews, Curran, Reid and Twine are non league at best so not really a true reflection of us, just shows the lack of depth. If we had Caddis, Lyden, Grant and a decent keeper it would be very different.

Presuming these players mentioned are just being rested and not injured?

Maybe a tad harsh to include Twine as one of the weak links. Has contributed just as much, if not more, than most players in pre season so far.

I think Twine may be used off the bench occassionally this coming season if he doesnt get a loan move.
Matthews, Curran and Reid will be back up but nothing more, so in many ways I think thats a pretty fair comment, I doubt that those 4 players will make more than 15 appearances between them all.
I think Wellens will shake them up a bit 2nd half and bring on Hope, Lyden, Palmer and the trialist keeper whoever that may be.
From what I saw of the first half a few players were strolling around rather than running, Wellens won't stand for that even in a pre season game.

Other than the Stevenage game he’s done nothing in a competitive game and whenever he’s come on as a sub he’s never impacted the game. I just think he flatters to deceive in friendlies where it’s slow paced but in competitive football the game just passes him by. As Chang said he’ll probably be the next Storey or Tom Smith.

A few! All of them were weren't they? Maybe they were training this morning too?
Lets hope they bring the 6 off the bench and they improve 2nd half

Looks like any strikers are going to be last minute jobs.

Maybe. Or he could be the next Billy Bodin and go on to prove us wrong. Who knows!

I’d happily put money on that not happening, Bodin had genuine quality hence another league club challenging us in the league wanting to take him on loan (Torquay). Twine on the other hand has only had Chippenham take him, he just doesn’t look League quality IMO. 5 years since his debut and so doesn’t seem to have developed much, I can’t remember him ever coming on and thinking he’s changed the game.

Good chance for Lyden only 6 yards out, inches away.
