FT thoughts. 22:07 - Aug 8 with 783 views | FrimleyBlue | Well. First. Don goodman fk you. That pen was for you. Second. Tough watch. We look a long way from our promotion season. However I think it'll come. Think we had some answers to some questions tonight but to get a draw we will take. Lots to work on Ogbene. Doesn't really work if we don't put the balls down the line. Think he needs a Chaplin to become a chappers burns partnership imo. Azor.. not a great debut but got better 2nd half Clarke... really can't seem to get the best out of him. But I think working with davis doesn't help. That left side of philogene and Davis was better All in all. Horrid watch. But I did like that we used some good old prem gamesmanship to slow the game down. Only issue with that is we're used to a fast pace game. Always. New players really really important. We know that. Only thing I also wish KM picked up on and will be talking to the team about. You never put the ball high down the middle. It takes just one header sent back your way and you're in trouble.. hence their goal. Palmer needs to find corners. And greaves needs to learn the Burgess whip ball down the line.

Brum are an aggressive team with some good players and the momentum of part season. That we've managed to salvage something from that shipwreck of a performance is positive. Cajuste needs to be in this team asap. I miss Burgess and Morsy. |  | |  |

They backed off with 30 mins left just wanted to timewaste and break things up |  | |  |

Definitely. Johnson really doesn't do it for me unfortunately. No matter how many games he plays he doesn't get better. |  |

We would perhaps have been better off playing the like of Wycombe & Cambridge United. We played like a team that had 22 pts from last 38 games. Would normally expect 11 changes for the cup game but after tonight think should stsrt with at least 5 of the outfield players that ended the game. We could do with two Cam Humphreys as a case for playing him as full bsck and in midfield. Young should have started tonight at RB. BBC were as confused as the rest of us, they showed us playing 4-4-1-1. Guess shows how disjointed / unprepared we were. Things can only get better and a point is a point. |  |

With respect, not sure any friendly can prepare a team for that kind of atmosphere and intensity. Having said that, we were sh1te - no getting away from it. |  | |  |

They subbed a striker for a midfielder and a winger for a right back, I think that tells you everything you needed to know there Eventually they paid for it |  |
