2-1 last minute winner.
We really should be getting a central defender before the season i’m unsure Burgess is up for it. |  | | |  |

Yes, lets discard all the evidence of last season and put all our team building together from a pre-season game where 60% of the team aren't regular starters. [Post edited 22 Jul 2023 13:56]

That was awful by all accounts.
Let’s see how the stronger team get on later.
Walton, Clarke, Morsy, Taylor, Burns, Broadhead, Hirst all missing at Cambridge. |  |

Other than the youngster Carr, and the second string GK, that was our usual defence I believe.
Morsy’s absence would also be a big factor as he shields our defence. |  |

Don't expect much different. Only a couple days since we upped our pre season levels v Preston. Most of the lads will be hanging come HT. |  |

Agreed - McKenna doesn't seem to learn does he. Insists on playing the same defence that was so poor last season.

It's a pre-season friendly. When are people going to realise that the result is largely irrelevant? |  | | |

Just a thought
Are any of those players who've just played... also playing in the 2nd game? | |

We need two new centre halves, a couple of midfielders, two strikers a wing back and an upgrade on the keeper. McKenna out! Can’t even win a pre season friendly. Boooooooooooo.
No over reaction here  |  | | |

Like the Austria friendlies, I reckon most of the youngsters on the bench will travel to the 2nd game. | | | |

Trouble is he isn't wrong defense wise. We really could do with some championship experience at the back. We will get found out in this league. We got away with it last season. |  | | |

Got away with it last season.
How did we get away with it? |  |

Are you kidding ? We got away with what ? Barely conceding ? we conceded 2 in the last 19 games if you discount Fleetwood which was a dead rubber. That’s not a fluke or getting away with it, I doubt any team in the uk or maybe even Europe had that sort of record.
I think we will get another CB in but make no mistake our defence was a machine last season especially the 2nd half. |  |

Got away with having the best defence in the league?

We didn’t get away with anything last year. We had the best defence in the division. Was that 46 games of good fortune? | | | |

That was our stronger team of the two that lost. But both are weakened. This weekend is more for the purpose of the classic "minutes in the bank". | |

The defense didn't get tested like it will this season. It's a different kettle of fish in the championship. I just think we need a bit more experience at the back. | | | |

Give over you massive fanny. |  |

no need to panic it was a hybrid trial defense.
Anyway I believe we are still looking at a Trusty type defender and if we don't get him there will be alternatives lined up |  |

Agree, I do think we need another CB in through the door, not least to cover for any injuries, but I'd bet that KM, MA & team are currently working on it. |  |
