Pre-Season 2024/25

[Rzar]

It’s looking the same as the chesterfield game, we look a different side in this formation

 

[Apollo11]

Sunderland are a week ahead of us fitness wise & we look fitter, credit to the players

I think that's the first time ever someone has described Sunderland ahead of any other location.

Sangare dictating and using his passing range again, really hope this continues

 

[Jacquoz]

Anderson looking like a great player so far. So active on the pitch.

 

[Rosie’s A Red]

Bloody hell Sangare. Aerial pass!

What’s happened to last year’s version?

If he can be the player we know he can be, it could be absolutely massive for our season.

I’m going to make wild prediction that by the end of the season Elliot Anderson will be one of our most valuable players.

Anderson’s looked really tidy on the ball so far. Lovely combination of great close control and aggression/power whilst driving with the ball, really hard to deal with. You can tell he’s intelligent with his movement too - finding pockets of space and linking up nicely with the other forwards.

Does seem to lack a bit of pace, but impressed by what I’ve seen so far.

63 mins in and Sunderland have only made one substitute?

Their pre season started earlier than us. They’ll have a planned programme to build players up to X amount of minutes in X games.

Are we sure Omar scored and this is not some modern AI trickery fooling us into thinking he exists?

 

[lavelleuk]

Really happy for Richards

Thought Abbott looked really good too, seemed like an experienced pro when against their attackers, held them off easily and seemed very strong for someone so young

I’m all for that because it means he’ll displace someone who I think is overrated.

 

[DizzyBala]

Even Dennis putting a shift in, would love to see a redemption for him with us but suspect he will still leave.
Would have preferred him to Origi post-January.

 

[redtreeant]

Anyone else got annoying white box appeared in middle of the screen ffs

 

[chaospunx]

Does anyone know matt turner's back story how can anyone on a football pitch look as bad as he does with a ball at his feet

 

[Haych]

Sounds like we look decent again?

I don’t think he even started playing Football till he was 14, can’t imagine that helps.

I reckon he will be back in the MLS later in the year anyway so he won’t be our problem.

Yeah I know it just absolutely baffles me how he ended up at arsenal then us genuinely never seen anyone on a football pitch look so uneasy with his feet it's mental that training video earlier this week was embarrassingly cringy watching his bit

 

[Jacquoz]

I like what I see so far. Everybody seems to want to get involved and have loads of energy. The pressing was really good I thought.

 

[Rzar]

Yeah decent enough. We look pretty sharp.

Much better than the last pre season.

 

[weejockmcplop]

Way too many simple defensive mistakes in this game.

A better team would have put away 3 or 4.

Maybe its just the heat and and tiredness though no need to panic.

But with global warming the heat will be a constant factor.

The heat and the flies...

And those jungle drums...pounding, pounding...

Sorry, got a bit carried away. 29 degrees and Gedling don't really go together.

 

[Bob Fossil]

Anderson looks a hell of a player. Tenacious, always looking to drive forward but with real composure. He's gonna be a fan favourite I can tell already.

I don't think Moreira is here to make up the numbers either. He looks more than decent for the fee we paid.

Didn't really see much of him today tbh.
