Thanks for posting. I like the way we are attacking, there seems to be far more urgency and we're moving the ball quicker with nice patterns of play.
Our defending continues to be sloppy, but we know we need a new defence after the shambles last season.
Not sure why our goal was disallowed. Looked a perfectly good goal to me, as the player who was in an offside position wasn't interfering, making no effort to go to the ball or interfere with their keepers line of sight.
Their second goal looked offside unless he was still in his own half when the ball was played, but Horvath could have easily sprinted out to get to the ball first. Why he stayed on his line is beyond me, we can't start with him this season.

Defensively looked poor right across the back four.We 100% need an out and our strapping centre half a Bamba Morrison type also a threat the other end on set pieces

The attacking play was better than anything we've seen for years.
Defending wasn't perfect but we were up against a team in the league above.
Also has to be said that substitutions were made to the defence, that won't happen during the season.
We dominated the game.

Judging from the highlights it seems we leave acres of space in defence. No idea how our defence will look at the start of the season but it needs to be better.
Some good attacking play though and should have put the game away with plenty of time to spare. Colwill looking sharp. I’ve been critical of him. I hope he shuts me up this season.

One thing I will say is once we fully click going forward we will score a lot of goals
I also think we will concede a fair few with how high our defensive line is
Will be a few nerve shredding high scoring games this season, I think we might have an if you score 4 we will score 5 attitude,
Think we're in for an exciting season

I would say defensively we haven't changed from finishing bottom of championship and as for qpr are a league above us our players are same as championship last season so pretty much matched with qpr defense is a worry hopefully it will get sorted and also a couple of injuries to one or two key players we are screwed need some new blood

Lawler and Chambers could be interesting to see if they can forge a solid partnership.
Up front, we have so many options and quality attacking players for this league, I think they are a lot better than they showed last season, i'm worried a bit about the defence, but not the attack at all.
