The 'scrap' at Boston...

That's a bit embarrassing in a pre-season friendly. Can't work out what happened at the final whistle or why.

Saturdays’ double header will be interesting.
We have just 18 senior outfield players + 2 youngsters (Hinchy and Reynolds) to cover for 180 minutes. Given that Palmer and Tsaroulla seem unlikely to play much or at all, that means that several players will be playing a lot more than 90 minutes and with increased risk of injury.
I would have thought that there will have to be several youth players involved plus maybe a trialist or 2.
We desperately need at least 2 more, especially a striker.

How is the squad this thin at this stage of pre-season, considering how badly we suffered last season as a result of a thin squad?

Believe in the process (as many who have blind faith in "The System" say). We will be enlightened.

The ref looks like he did.nt want to get involved - he should not be a ref!!

He gave some very angry blows on his whistle! But what did you really expect him to do? Wade in? Parting a couple of players is pretty normal for the officials but not 20 odd.

Worth stating perhaps. Notts have scored at least one goal in every PS game so far.

Interesting that we've had some trialists in who looked like they could make a contribution
But apparently their data wasn't good enough
It must be very frustrating SM and his coaches

Very concerning the lack of some quality new faces, with Palmer still not fit, and ML gone, we are weak in both midfield and attack. If I am correct (not 100%) we have 23 players in the squad which includes 3 GK'S and 2 longer term injuries, This leaves 18 outfield players how are we going to play two full games at Posh, without using some players for well over 90 minutes on the day. I would have thought this is conducive to injuries?

Not feeling very confident on the recruitment side of things. Feels like history is repeating itself a little bit.

I’m not either and this is where we find out just how good Williams was.

Not pinning it all on SM he didn’t appoint himself and the recruitment side is on laptop Richie how the squad only has 3 forwards and one off a season long injury only a week or so before the first game is anyone’s guess.
