Bill 1,788 Posted July 11, 2017 it looks more like Farke is experimenting with the defenceit will be interesting to see if he plays Wildschutt as a full back almost a wing half and is this where he sees Josh ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Renoir 1 Posted July 11, 2017 Interesting that lewis makes the bench while Toffolo misses out as well. I think Wildschut''s playing there out of necessity, Our RB''s will be Pinto, Martin and Husband can play there as well, Farke just doesnt have any available or fit enough yet. Just finished watching the full Lowestoft game on youtube, erm, Zimmermann worries me a bit I''ve got to admit, anyone there tonight who can tell us how he''s getting on? He''s young for a defender but extremely slow and some of his tackles were really clumsy. Hope he''s just settling in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,580 Posted July 11, 2017 I''m a touch concerned by the amount of injuries we seem to be picking up. Also if Farke wants a back 3 we need to bring in at least two new central defenders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Renoir 1 Posted July 11, 2017 Wouldn''t be surprised if this new style still hasn''t bedded in 5 games into the season. It took Reading and Huddersfield a bit of time to start playing well, I can see that being the case here. Not reading anything into these friendlies, especially with how hard the players are being worked at Colney, they''re starting the matches tired. This will be a shock to a lot of our players and maybe even staff, Webber did warn them that they might have to work a bit harder this year alongside adapting to changes.i hope people are prepared to be patient!

Branston Pickle 3,638 Posted July 11, 2017 Pre season games are always hit and miss, it''s what they are for, so hopefully Reed''s injury isn''t too bad. One thought is that we''re clearly in need of getting the defence right - it would be good to bed the first choice 3 or 4 in together as soon as we can, so having Ivo and RM out can''t help; would also be good to see Gunn before too long.

The Big Bad Wolf 0 Posted July 11, 2017 Bit of a reality check for Farke. Hopefully he and more importantly Webber can see we are short of quality. Not all the youngsters are going to cut it in the champs and others need more time. We need a couple of higher quality signings. Okay, only a preseason friendly but not filling me with confidence at this early stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
