City 1 nil down

Brayford had an east chance to clear it ands just let the guy through. Marshall poorly placed.

And there is is 1-0 down

In a previous post I said city were on top and thus would probably concede as I post that, which they did

They are making us look like a pub team.

stream doesnt work for me

Try the 3 of them, one works

tbh we aint looking the best

We can't hold on to the ball at all. Whittz and Mutch are doing nothing in the middle of the park.

See the defensive issues are being addressed.

Hmm

2-0 down

Still can't defend from corners, that defence still looks shakey.

Another good move from Cardiff. Daehli slips in neat ball for Brayford, but full-back had just gone offside

Maynard making some good runs, but the passes are off target. Hudson lifted ball downfield when Maynard made a burst, but easily cut out

Until the first goal we were easily the better side. Or two very soft goals have changed that. It's likely Ole has set up to intentionally invite pressure to give the defence a run through.

The problem is Hudson and Turner are not ballers like Cala is and they cause problems under pressure because they are better at hoofing it. Ergo we need a new CB which we all need.

Mutch and Whitts are a shite midfield 2 against a 3 man midfield but I gather that was intentional. Need a Gunnar in there to break up play.

Maynard working hard, tracking back to help out when needed. Still making those runs

As soon as we get the ball we are looking at the long ball up front. Not playing well but it's a friendly after all and you can't tell jack shit by these games TBF. But I got a feeling it's gonna be loads of goals either end next season

3.-0

That was so easy! I think this shows Hudson and Turner are not a good partnership anymore, obviously the midfield two are inviting problems.

3-0 Marshall been rooted to his spot for every goal

Only a friendly but looks like men against boys, could end up being a cricket score.

When does the Russian season start?

They may be further ahead in their preparations?

This 4-4-2 with non-natural players in several positions is like bringing a knife to a gunfight, these Russians did finish mid-table in the Russian premier last season after all.

1st August

These are a good side.

I think Ole intentionally set us up to be attacked in the first half to see how Hudson and Turner did.

Brayford is being torn apart by their winger.

Not finding the right passes to our strikers.

Nothing to be alarmed about. As with our wins on Saturday, this is mainly about fitness.

It isn't just the defense. It shows you can't play with mutch, whitts, eikrem and daehli in midfield. You need a player who can break up the opposition play. Nobody is pressing the ball in midfield. Weirdly enough daehli the weakest looking one actually tries to disrupt opposition play. The other 3 are kind of passive.
It's a bit annoying to watch a big lad like mutch he should be able to impose himself more physically on the game.

Week or so ahead of us in their preparations then.


Don;t worry guys I found some straws
