Set-pieces
Sorba not taking any. Which makes me think they think he may leave. Great management pointless him taking any. Thought wiles did well with them.
Liked his post match interview. Transparent and honest. No bullshit.

Transparent and honest. No bullshit. Would agree really liking his interviews.Not getting carried away or vice Versa with anything,which tbf as fans we can tend to do. What I thought was interesting was how he sort of pointed to fact that during the season you can generally spend however many days in the build up focussing on what you can do(certainly out of possession) to counteract that particular team. It’s difficult to do that pre season as less is known and teams can rip it up and start again etc etc or even just be trying something different. So I guess 90% of what you’re doing is fitness and the rest is kind of just seeing how you can react to certain things. It’s clear he knows what he wants and what he’s doing,let’s hope it can translate to the players come the season. |

I was there today, good turnout from both sets of fans. Soon as we put on Miller and Sorensen, it changed the game completely. Don’t know if people could hear it on stream but Pearson was constantly shouting at Sobra to get into position. Him and Headley didn’t look comfortable at all first Half Ward is non existent. Needs to go ASAP. Played some decent football imo and we looked comfortable. Lees looked solid when coming on. Negatives are and will be this season; it’s too easy for teams to counter attack us due to the formation we are playing. Hertha Berlin were constantly playing long balls over the top to catch out our defence. Same happened against Harrogate, something needed to be worked on before Peterborough. Desperately need a striker alongside JK/ Healey, we aren’t sharp enough going forward. Wiles was excellent second half Evan’s was a bit anonymous. Bring on Lecce 🍺⚪️🔵 I was there too. Good summary. I’d add that Kane was excellent too. Good engine on him. UTT! |

Didn't see any of the game but there seems quite a disconnect between the in game comments on here and the lad asking Duff the questions. He makes it sound like we were absolutely fantastic but you could tell Duff didn't quite agree

I want to know why the Herta fans were allowed on the pitch at full time for their photo opportunity yet there seemed to be no opportunity for Town fans to do the same. there was. We had a fans photo in the opposite goal a bit later on. UTT! |

He makes it sound like we were absolutely fantastic but you could tell Duff didn't quite agree He seems to be doing that quite a lot I would say in the last 18 months..,.almost pushing the narrative.personally I’m not a fan of it. Nothing wrong with picking up on positives here and there but feel like it’s maybe just gotten a touch excessive for my money.it’s the same in the interviews for new players..half trying to put words in players mouths. Wouldn’t normally be one to really be bothered but in this instance I am. |

Transparent and honest. No bullshit. Yeah - described us as loose, particularly in the final third - which I'd definitely agree with. Think Kane and Evans in the same midfield, along with Lasse and Mikel at wingbacks would definitely improve that though. Still think Hogg's currently our best option at CDM but maybe Kasumu's technical deficiencies would be counter-balanced by having Kane and Evans in there with him. |

Says a lot that we’d rather play a disinterested Sorba Thomas who is also on his way, rather than Jackson. Jackson is absolutely crap, another one in the Austerfield, High, Rowe, Duhaney, Critchlow, Schofield group of much vaunted worldbeaters who are League 2 / National League standard. From what I read Jackson has had problems with his confidence and mental approach. Perhaps you could lay off the lad for a while ? |

I'm sorry to hear of his struggles and hope he's recovering from that but it's unrelated to his lack of ability as a footballer. |

Why does no-one ever acknowledge that the majority of the fanbase were happy with those players getting those contracts? Because I disagree with it. However, I can only speak for myself, they were terrible decisions, IMO. I think he does a lot of fan polls, as he always seems to pull out this 'most of our fanbase' or 'hardly any of our fanbase' rhetoric, when letting us know yee old wise one was correct again. |

I’d think that could work..if…and currently big if Kasumu can manage to find a away to make the 10/15 yard pass to get them the ball.much of what we have seen of him he gives it away before those further forward even get the chance to try play that more difficult/creative pass. Iv seem Kasumu capable of doing it at mk dons but since he’s been with town it just has never happened on any sort of consistent basis |

Cardiff scored in the 89th minute to draw 1-1 with Hertha
Going off the player values alone on the Sofascore app it does appear we played their second 11

But does seem like a few of their better players played against Cardiff and not us |

The Hertha we played were largely second string, albeit with quite a few who played a decent amount last season and also a core of experienced BL/BL2 players. We pretty much played our A and B teams against them so a decent match-up really

Yeah, the bigger guns like Tabakovic (thankfully, man'sa beast), Maza, Cuisance, Winkler and the regular goalie played Cardiff, but not the second string at all I'd say. Bundesliga is my second interest after town. |

We pretty much played our A and B teams against them so a decent match-up really I was curious enough to try and quantify it earlier on: Their starting XI averaged 22 league appearances (or 15 full games) each last season. |

Interesting point he makes about shifting mentality from sitting in to the high press. He speaks impressively - clearly knows what he wants and what he needs to do to achieve that. |

if you think that, you no nothing of mental health issues. Just lay off the constant player bashing and negativity. We get it. You’ve made your point(s) repeatedly. I'll do what I want, thanks. Just stand back a bit and think about it, put yourself in these players positions. Jackson looked a real prospect when he started playing first team level. I remember him scoring a cracking free kick in a preseason game, against Morcombe I think. He also played well early last season at right back. He struggled last season trying to play neat football at left back and losing the ball, but he really wasn’t alone in that. Being strong mentally is a huge thing, especially when you are in the public eye the way these lads are. Having armchair pundits calling them shit on social media must really add to the pressure they feel. It is unnecessary and unhelpful. |

I don't see this "there's a player in there" or "great prospect" at all. I have every sympathy with him, but I don't rate him. I haven't tweeted him or abused him, I've just given an opinion on his abilities as a footballer on a message board. Do people have any thoughts for Alex Pritchard's mental health when they're giving him dogs abuse? Or Sorba Thomas when they're branding him a nonce and chanting "paedo paedo paedo" at him? Where do we draw the line? Do we stop having opinions on players because it might upset them? Some people on here have said far worse things about other current players, yet as far as I can see, no-one has called it out and thought about how that player might be feeling mentally. Or perhaps its just my opinion that warrants being called out? |

You seem happiest when you can start an argument so I’m not sure how much is really your opinion and how much you put out there to get a reaction. I’m not getting into debate with you. What I posted is my opinion and I have no more to say on it. |
