Really poor defending, even for a friendly. At least Unai will know who he can rely on. Illing and Rowe won’t be on the list.

Nashville have been the better side throughout the half

What you on about that 2nd goal was 100% Konsa fault

Konsa has become a little fond of the throw himself to the floor and get a free kick routine.  Not sure relying on referees is always the best way to go :-)

What's Nashville's standard? From what I have seen it's about League 2.

I’m amazed Unai hasn’t seen that the defence hasn’t been compact for some time now. Doesn’t look like the close season will address this

He's is England's centre back now so refs have to decide in his favour.

Another one of his lose it every time he gets the ball days.

Good for Unai to see all of his players get minutes. Two poor goals defensively. Hoping several leave or go out on loan for experience.

He's just knackered, hasn't had a rest all season.

We all know at this stage of pre season we are 2 or 3 players short. If we go into the season with Beundia and Bailey as our impact subs  we are well short. Difficult to see how we move them on though...
