Whatever the game plan is I hope we are holding back on it during these warm up games.

we look to far away from each other

I don't think that's the problem, but I do see what you mean, I think we're a bit soft with our passes, I'd like to see a bit more zip on the ball which would amke us look much closer together and would stop us getting the ball under so much pressure.

I'd sell Luiz if we can bring in another midfielder. I can't see what he is good at.

All I’ll say is how often do you see a team absolutely blaze through preseason and then struggle in the league? Quite often I’d say. I just wouldn’t write us off as hopeless just because we look short of a gallop at this stage.

Glad Luiz is off, he’s been very sloppy.

Think Konsa has gone off so can only presume Kamara has gone to centre half as Sanson and Tim have come on.

More questions than answers. Just can't see how we are trying to play. Midfield is so poor..

Bit like last season I’m struggling to see what the overall game plan is.  There is no obvious pattern or style.  We look disjointed and lack purpose. 
It’s shite.

It's still only a preseason, but a little concerning that some old problems clearly remain.
