Watched the full 90 and whilst you can`t read too much into preseason with most only training a week I would say the positives were Moore, Drameh, Gray, Bate and Joseph.
Negatives Ayling, poor distribution from both keepers, Struijk, Greenwood, James, Shackleton and Bamford.
Rutter to me just doesn`t look like a footballer.
He looks more like Bambi, no aggression, little strength but does have awareness.
Play him out wide and he might do ok.
The 19 year old MU centre half had Bamford in his pocket which says it all and Ayling should not be playing first team even though we are in the Championship probably same goes for Struijk and to some extent Cooper.

don't forget leeds had a tough training session the morning of the game. agree about bamford and ayling though

Don`t get me wrong Tad I wasn`t expecting a right lot and actually thought we would do well to contain them to 4.
But basics like positioning, marking the man, awareness especially from our so called senior players in defence was alarming and no wonder we conceded so many last year.
Same goes for Greenwood who I had high hopes for.
He just doesn`t seem to get it and was totally outplayed by some very good youngsters.
Hugil and Williams if available would be good signings for us.

wasn't making excuses as I agree. the old guard are finished. long finished.
might take farke a season to sort out the squad but let's hope not

I think it’s a two season job is promotion. I think Farke and the new owners just have too much crap to sort out and not enough time to get an immediate return. I hope im wrong though as we will lose Gnonto and Sinesterra after a year

rumour is brentfords technical director is the new director of football. that's a brilliant coup if it happens

Yes seen that too. Would be a cracking appointment. Extremely well run club Brentford and recruit very smartly

Didn't think we offered much going forward, but there were some moments from Sini. Thought Rutter had some good touches and can certainly pick out a pass. Drameh was decent at RB before moving to the left at half time and Gyabi looks a player if the the right experience can be put in there with him. We seemed to be worse when the experience came on.

Would like to see Greenwood given a run up top in the position he played when we signed him. Just can't see why he keeps getting put in midfield, offers very little in there. In terms of getting some running in the legs, job done. Not much more to take from it

I thought the Rhinos recruitment looked slow, united have a few weeks to the start of the season and barely have a team. What a shambles.

Edit:sorry they've signed 2 16 year olds, look forward to seeing them debut in 2029/30.

They'll be lucky to finish mid table let alone talks of whether they might go back up in one or two seasons.

assuming no more leave they'll still have a squad at least good enough for the play offs

I'm not so sure Tad. We have no reliable goal scorer, Tyler Adams apart a load of kids in midfield, no number 10 which is Key to Farke system and a really inexp keeper.

Meslier will also leave as will Summerville if Hay is correct..

I did say assuming no more leave mate.
we would be light at 9 but have a quality starting 11. just strength in depth would be awful

Wöber wants to leave.
