    Ring Rusty?

    If I remember right, Saturday was our first competitive game in almost 6 months whereas apart from Coventry all other Championship teams have played meaningful games more recently. In addition they have also had the experience of playing competitive games in the COVID era, behind closed doors 'bubble'. I know we've played warm up games but those are never as intense as real and meaningful competition. However, on the flip side, Salford were in the same boat as us and still were able to make us look ordinary.

    Ring rusty? Even if we are we'll need to step up our game at 12:30 on Saturday as Wycombe look to be far from the 'push over' some might have been dreaming they would be.

    Valid point that CA.Competitive games get you tuned up.Wycombe have had a shorter break and physically could be sharper.Also we have not had our "fitness holiday" this time.I'm sure Warney will have 'em ready though.UTM

    Good point cam bit I'm not sure Salford made us look ordinary. We dominated the game. We had a far superior team. Salford didn't cause us any problems except that 1 ball ott.


    Saying that it was the 83 minute before I got to view the game ��. Looked from what I saw

    Can’t agree Cam, just wrong players on pitch

    Agreed. It should have been Man City’s team.

    We should have won,in fact their keeper was MOM,but if you don`t score and it goes to pens,anyone can win.
    Thought Harding and Sadlier looked decent,and Oggie and Macdonald did ok.
    Blackman looked a bit nervous,hopefully it was just that,but we have spoilt in recent times with some great keepers.
    No panic I`m sure we`ll improve.

    Thought Harding didn't look up to much. S McDonald he can't start against Wycombe surely. Blackman shocking. Lindsay thinks there's more to come. Ihiekwe up to standard. Sadlier like. Ogbene a threat. We need a left back. Holding midfielder. Big forward. Olosunde or Thompson at right back. Robertson or A McDonald left centre back against Wycombe.

    Do you think? You should've said.

    Is there a minimum content of gold required in a ring to stop it getting rusty!
