Re: Triallists tonight (Bangor away)
Only seen one of these but the Airbus game was, as it should be, a very comfortable win. The scoreline may not have looked impressive , but that was partly because the entire second half was played with 8 of the youth team.

Re: Triallists tonight (Bangor away)
There are some very confused posts on this thread. Pre-season is always confusing but the death of the club cannot be predicted from the planning phase.
We've got better, cleverer passers in midfield and more chances look like being created. Deverdics looks like contributing more. Holroyd is excellent and Fondop looks as good as the various centre forwards we had last season (perhaps barring Quigley). Its pretty impossible to argue the attack has gone backwards this season, but neither can I argue it will be better. Rutherford was important last season, but not stellar. If we sign a bigger threat for the right hand side I think we'll reach the playoffs from what has been evident from pre-season. If the formation clicks better than last season's, and I sincerely think it will then top three is likely. Last edited by Congy Red; 18th July 2018 at 07.33:18.. |

I know this seems very dogmatic but it does seem to work in terms of injury prevention as was proven by our injury record last season and by Premiership teams who use the same model. Last edited by Omni; 18th July 2018 at 07.35:23.. |

You are right that there are other components to pre-season, such as instilling patterns of play and I would think that most that have seen more than one of the friendlies can testify that our shape and movement is improving. Yes we have a paper thin squad which is nowhere near strong enough to compete over an entire season, but he players signed so far have improved our quality on the ball compared to last season bar Pyke, but that's because I've not seen enough of him to judge yet. |

Re: Triallists tonight (Bangor away)
For me, pre season friendlies are of very limited importance. After the Lex debacle, I doubt whether I will bother again. My views of the coming season are somewhere between the delusion of Congy Red and the vultures of Phill’s an Alki & Co. I think of the mess that Macclesfield were in last July, with very few signings - they made the best of it. It is worrying to think that I am probably going to see another season where WAFC play safety first footy and give us very little to get excited about. But as the happy clappers say - “we are very lucky to be here”!

Top 3? We were a mile off that last season with a bigger budget, better players and a manager who knew the league inside out. |
