Opening day fixtures

[kieran_vale]

Already got one fixture on tonight as well at Luton with Wimbledon carrying on where they left off from last season being extremely well organised and awkward to play against.

Good challenge for us at Rotherham tomorrow. Be more than happy if we can pinch a point from it if possible.

Awful game with no quality, both teams direct.......Luton are not winning no league

I'm always wary of reading too much into the opening day in terms of the season as a whole (apart from the time we got a double-fisting at Barnsley). Tight pitch and a Wimbledon team that know how to set up and stop an opponent don't think it was ever going to be a great spectacle. Onus very much on Luton to change things if it continues second half.

With luck like that maybe Luton are winning the league

Play like that they may stay up.....Awful

That was truly a painful watch. Bags of improvement to come and needed.

Probably a classic first game of the season where you’re playing a team on the up, a real banana skin. Only three players in that starting XI were here at the start of last season.

We’re going to need to get to grips with the physicality of this league quickly. Because that was a lot different from where we came from.

You will not meet a more physical team than Wimbledon, but they had no quality. Surprised you went as direct as you did, played into their hands
Nobody in your team impressed me, Mads Anderson is quality as is McGuiness but 10m wow. You never offered nothing in midfield, Alli is ok.as is Wells
Yates is a good signing, but i do not see you going up with that team.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Terrible game. For me the issue is you cant play a shape like that where you want the attacking threat to come from your wingbacks with a CB playing there and at best a defensive minded RB (for me Walters looks more centre half that RB and certainly not a RWB).

I never felt we were ever in any danger of losing the game bjt couldn’t see us scoring barring an error which is what happened

I’ve never thought we would be winning the league or troubling the auto spots when you look at our business so far and didn’t see much to dissuade me from that view. Like i said after the spurs friendly, think we will be solid enough defensively but don’t see us being plentiful enough scorers really

I’ve watched us in around 300 minutes of pre season online and that was probably the worst we’ve played that I’ve seen in the month they’ve been in game mode.

Midfield has some quality there but no fluidity or creativity yet, everything was being stifled. It was like we were expecting more space to be available like you would have in the league above, and AFCW which is their prerogative didn’t let us play.
