Anyone go to the Chorley game? Keen to have an honest opinion of how we played and what was thought of the new boys. Thanks in advance.

Anyone else concerned yet?
Results don't worry me but the style of football has been lack lustre and goals have been few and far between. Don't care if it's a friendly any striker must want to grab goals at any standard.
With Armstrong in the picture now 3 into 2 won't go, we may only play 1 up front too so these lads are in direct competition but you wouldn't think it.
If we were losing 6-4 I would be happier because I'd know we were creating and experimenting but I'm really worried that there's very little creativity in this team.

I'm concerned.
No goals in last two games against lesser opposition. True, they are only pre season games, but I would hope we would have been further along at this stage: the season starts in 2 weeks.

Like I've said elsewhere, Rochdale beat Middlesboro 2-0 so it's happening to other teams also
I'd like to think that once the season starts, the need for goals, points, wins will be stuck in each individual players psyche and I would expect them to up their game.
What would we be saying if we'd won every game 3-0 and then the season starts and we get battered week in and out, or how would we be reacting had we been beaten every game and then we face Leeds expecting a good hiding and we turn them over?
I'll not be posting my negative comments just yet, I'll wait to see if the systems not working😜
We've earned the right to be back in this league so let's all remain upbeat and see if we can spur the lads on to success

I was reading my post from last season after the late defeat to Burnley in Pre-Season and below is what I wrote, how did I know that we would win promotion so as to Pre-Season it means now't I would be happy with mid table BUT just stay up will do. 
Wrote this after late defeat to Burnley Pre-Season "All I would like to see and I think I am not alone in this is that we compete in this league and we can win more than we lose. I am not one for prediction's but would be happy with top half of the table maybe play-off's. Good luck to one and all." |

This is a Bolton XI in fairness. Lots of trialist and young players. Very few senior players.
I can forgive them this but seems like a truly pointless waste of time for everyone

With so many trialists at Stockport I understand that it was not likely to be a "fluid" side. At least it helped a few of our players improve their match fitness if nothing else. Unfortunately this pre season is confirming to us what we all feared, namely, we don't have goal scorers.

Living over this way I had the misfortune to pay to watch this rubbish. 90 minutes of being unable to string two passes together, Armstrong got one touch in the first half and pratley and Taylor were useless. King looked promising, ameobi frustrating but our best player by a mile was trialist left back. Yes I know it's about fitness but there was an alarming lack of quality or pace.

I know not everyone pays attention to preseason however.
Fleetwood 1
Preston 5
Especially after losing Grayson and McGeady I would put PNE in out league of direct competition next season, so understably a little worried that, well it's obvious, it's a 6 goal swing and shows how toothless our attack was.
I know all the arguments. They may have rested players/trailed. Preston may be that bit sharper and we experimented etc, etc. I get all that. I'm still very worried.
Like a boxer sparring. It means nothing and doesn't reflect what will happen in the ring. But it's not great if you're not landing gloves on an opponent and takin beatings off sparring partners is it?

I do think it's going to be a tough season with more lows than highs but all I would like to see is for us to battle a little bit and win away from home now and again. I won't say how we will do this season only just stay up and sort out the money. COYWM Good luck to all the players and fans enjoy come what may. Just seen the score from the Reemac lost 2-1 same as last season we play a prem team at home and we concede a late goal to get beat let's hope it's a good omen maybe we could have a good season eh |

And this was a strong Stoke (top half premiership team), last year was Burnley (bottom half) can't remember how many first teamers they had. I am more optimistic of a good season, too. Was hoping for 21st, now think we could be comfortably third quarter.

But worried to see the level of refereeing - hope the biased, bald short-arse today was a Premiership referee and we don't see him again. Poor as the refs were in Division one I never felt them to be biased. Last time in the championship I felt we usually were playing against twelve men.

We played a bit of football today instead of last seasons continual hoofing the ball up front.
New right back (Darby ? ) looks a decent player altho he didnt get foward to support(maybe a good thing)
Le_Fondre goal ...did he intend it... I think he did
Overall a decent performance
This was a strong Stoke team and I thought we did ok.
