lake district canary 4,266 Posted August 3, 2021 Or should I put Bu-who? From what I saw tonight, we have replaced him well and our midfield is going to have a lot of quality in it this season, with new heroes to look forward to seeing. Already love Lees-Melou and Gilmour and Cantwell looks as if he will be even better this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dame to Blame 90 Posted August 3, 2021 Hopefully but i shall reserve my view until we play premier opposition , then we can really access how good the new buys will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When we turn some Premier league teams over will be the time to make that statement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 5,818 Posted August 3, 2021 Believe it or not but there is a difference in quality between a rotated 3rd division side with 16 year old trailists in the mix and Liverpool/Man cities 1st team squad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,412 Posted August 3, 2021 Gilmour and Lees-Melou were particularly impressive I felt, but as has been said, it was Gillingham. Newcastle on Saturday will be much more of a test. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was Gillingham who were 14th in League One last season. Far too soon to make silly sweeping statements. Think we are at least 4 players light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kenny Foggo 1,038 Posted August 3, 2021 However, Cantwell looks bright as does Gilmour and Lees-Melou looks a buy at £3.5m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,266 Posted August 3, 2021 I know it was just Gillingham but if you can't see positives after tonight, then you never will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did not say I could not see positives (can't you see the Cantwell, Gilmour, PLM quote..please don't make up stuff) but we will 100% miss Buendia and this squad is not strong enough yet, if you can't see that then you are still as stupidly optimistic as you were about survival last time we were in the top flight. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yobocop 886 Posted August 3, 2021 Can see the point the OP was trying to make Difficult to assess during a friendly but I thought our passing and moving was outstanding our work rate given gillingham were a week ahead of us was excellent and looks like PLM and Gilmour have been playing for the team for years always air on the side of caution for friendlies but if we play like that this season we will cause a few teams some issues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trying to deduce anything like this in a pre-season friendly versus Gillingham is extremely premature Lakey, no offence. Similarly, I'm sure if another poster wrote off one of our new players based on a single poor performance in a similar fixture they would be rightly called out for it. You will get much less stick for the OP as at least you are being positive about the current crop of players, but it really is equal levels of prematurity...
