    How I saw it

    I agree 100% that the preseason has been pathetic and that we are probably two weeks behind being ready for the season. Not enough challenging matches and very little time for any side to gel together. As for the Coventry game, the first goal again comes from the fact we don't have a dominant quality centre back at the club despite crying out for one for years. Losing aerial battle led to the problem in the first place before Jones backed off. The second and third were with us being stretched trying to find a goal, hit on the break although the defending wasn't great. As stated at the start of the season we still need a pacy striker and two centre backs that have some pace and win the battles. In do wonder who makes the decision on signings when we are continually fail to sign what we actually need to be successful.

    These players you talk of are thin in numbers. We already have a pacy striker in Forte. Is he really the answer?
    As for dominant centre halves with pace... not many of these exist in League 2.
    My biggest issue is the lack of anticipation.. a defender will lose headers, but what are his 'mates' doing to make sure that they win the 2nd ball? Not enough.

    You can see it and I can see it, but if the management think we need more and more midfielders and three goalkeepers but we are all right in attack and the defence will soon be ok, then what more can you say?

    Mr Marshall.....He did praise our support at Coventry. You need to use Twitter - that is Hardy's preferred way of communicating.

    No! Mr Hardy needs to reach his "customers" by their preferred way of communicating.
