Re: Nantwich Verdict
Dibble was shouting loudly instructions, some of his kicking was wayward
Jennings looked angry, needs to calm it Rutherford all over the place, cant fault him for effort but his passing lets him down Hurst needs to get involved more Kelly is a quality footballer Leo off form today but still had his moments Need a midfield general, still no voice in there Akil needs target practice Gimme trying too hard Boden not match ready but it will come We won't really know what this team is like until the best 11 play together, they didn't today, but dont think so far on evidence of games that we are top 7 material |

Re: Nantwich Verdict
I would like to say what a neat little ground Nantwich have with a
food bar that sold the usual hot dogs, burgers, chips ,chocolate and hot drinks for £1.30 ,which is much cheaper than ours. Also an ice cream van in the ground. Good car park , but hell to exit Good luck to Nantwich this season. Last edited by Colonel D; 22nd July 2017 at 18.37:01.. |

Re: Nantwich Verdict
Healthy dose of realism - won't do us any harm.
The players missing from the starting line up would likely have made a big difference so I wouldn't be too worried but Keates will have learnt a few things from today I'm sure and that's half of what pre-season is about. Posted via mobile theme |

Re: Nantwich Verdict
Today was my first of season. My take for what its worth:
1 Traore ain't the answer 2 Leo not a first teamer yet. 3 Marx is not ready either 4 Still a lack of true pace without Makreth. Left side could struggle if Kelly played in centre. Proper left footer needed badly. 5 Enough negs, Kelly looks class and will be one hell of an asset. 6 Pearson and Manny look quality as does Roberts. 7 People still give Rutherford stick but I think he was our only attacker who gave them problems today although end ball sometimes lacked. That said a lot of end balls lacked. 8 Boden will be ok with better service. I thought he did alright considering service provided today. I would like to see what Deano considers to be first first team play and it still concerns me we haven't mastered small pitches and how to unlock tight, organised defences. Our general, all round finishing must improve too. |

Re: Nantwich Verdict
It was my first preseason friendly this summer.
Dibble: didn't have much to do other than pick the ball out of the net once, he's certainly in his defenders' ears but we'll see him have busier games. Jennings: we know about him. Manny: Ditto Hurst: Looks ok but I don't remember him being involved in much. Marx: Doesn't look ready for our first team regularly. Not a very assured performance. Roberts: Looks a good player and will help with attack, but looked a bit unfit to me. Maybe his preseason at Halifax has been a bit lacking. Ruthers: We know about him but I think he looks fitter and faster. Kelly: looks a great little player, composed and can pass a ball. Wright: Said he isn't known for his goal scoring and he wasn't kidding, but he's a good physical presence and he can tackle and run and didn't do a lot wrong other than blaze his shots anywhere other than at the goal. Leo Smith: Didn't have as much of the ball out wide but he's coming on nicely as a player generally. I think he's got a good future. Jimmy: Harsh but I wasn't at all impressed and I hope we don't sign him unless he's incredibly cheap. However, strikers are funny creatures, I thought Morrell and Walters were crap when I first saw them, so I'd love to be proved wrong. Boden: Didn't get much ammunition today but he looks like an intelligent player with tidy feet. I'm really looking forward to seeing Roberts and Mackreth overlap and link up. Do we have a few knocks and niggles? I didn't see Wedge, Mackreth or Holroyd today. Overall we seemed a bit toothless up top today as I think Jimmy was the weakest link, so the sooner we get another good striker the better.
