Gonna take awhile to work out the best first 11, last seasons remnants were plodders. Shade looks a winger, not a wing- back. Should go a Back 4 all day n all.
Reed extremely wasteful, Gladwin a bit better but still didn't b do much. Williams looked poor.
Still, got the likes of Darcy and Clayton to turn to, and khan looked decent.
Yep. Need to shake the tree and see what falls out. Khan looks a must start. On that midfield non event Darcy deserves to show what he’s about. Clayton in for Reed? Nobody could complain about bring dropped. |

More worryingly the midfield was supposed to be strong, creative with tonnes of experience. |

Has anyone noticed that it was the first game of the season and that there are many more to come?
Have you not noticed we are in a thread dedicated to the fist game of the season, and people are commenting on said game? |

All well and good but I don’t think it’s unrealistic or unreasonable to expect a professional sports team to be prepared & ready to start the season at the start of the season.
Sure, it’s only one game. I get that…but…just because it’s the first game season doesn’t excuse us for not being ‘ready’ or ‘up to speed’
They are professional athletes & staff paid good money to do a job.
That's the whole point of pre season games, they should be up to speed on day one, no excuses. |

Fitness wise yes. But when you've played mostly lower league teams the match fitness can take a bit longer. Also a short pre-season this year. |

Pre season fannying about with the managerial appointment has cost us in preparation. It didn't last season but you can't expect it not to every season. Late procurement of unready players also seems pertinent to me

I keep hearing how amazing our sports science and fitness coaches are.
yet here we are, not up to speed on the first game of the season.
Doesn't add up?

I don't think that the panic button needs to be pressed quite yet.

Harrogate seemed fine. |

Can imagine something along the lines of not showing enough aggression, still a striker short. Have to have more passion and be better on the ball. Thanks and apologies to the travelling fans |
