I hope we're going to stream it on youtube like some of the other clubs have been, we've done that the last few preseasons haven't we

I'm sure i read that even media couldn't get in to report on it. Club(s) wanted it totally behind closed doors.

Isn't there a media blackout at our request for this?

Don't be surprised if the club don't post the final score, especially if we lose!

Full media blackout mate.

Full media blackout seems very strange. Maybe Gibson is involved?

[estonpidge 1,449]

well we're not overloaded with CB's

[Smogzilla 7,484]

Good. Broadcasting your opening pre season games has always seemed daft to me. 

Players aren't at full tilt so no fans will be impressed. Also, there's always the chance you give away tactics or set pieces you're working on to your rivals.

[LBP 3,035]

Seem to have 2 decent strikers these Ryan Hardie and Luke Jephcott, Jephcott 7 in 14 last season 20 years old. Wish we could watch to see how whoever we start CB do

They lost their Marcus Maddison type player though George Cooper, went back to Peterborough after his loan ended

Thankfully I’ve not heard any news on the proposed redundancies, maybe the club have changed their minds.

Our first pre season game in Austria last year was embarrassing granted the clown in charge fielded half our U23/U18 team but it was abysmal watching a chubby grey haired Austrian bloke run a midfield and all you hear on the audio is Woodgate saying QUICK QUICK QUICK QUICKER.

I'm hoping they let the Gazette in though I'd like some kind of match report on Stubbs/Browne/Bola to get an idea if any have a future beyond preseason with Warnock.

I was listening to talk sport on the way into work this morning, Mario Melchiot was on talking about chelsea. He was saying the defenders there are all similar types of players and how that was a bad thing.

If you look at our team. all of them are the same we've had a group of midfielders who all do the same thing for donkeys years. 

To find the right balance we need to have many different style players, tacklers, runners, creative, skillful, aggressive, talkers, leaders etc. 

looking at the squad we have a group of players with no style, they are all robots and the boring unexciting football served up in the past is down to players/manager collectively. 

Hall ticks the right boxes hes something different to what we had. Roberts was like that to. I hope we do sign this stewart. he may be no better or even worse than what we have but he is a different type of player and may help with the teams balance. Roberts and sanogo are different to. sanogo might be a big unsless turd, but he will offer something different.

Watched Argyle with my lad a lot last season. Hardie was brilliant and I have said a few times how much I would have liked him at Boro if he hadn't committed to Argyle for another season. Jephcott was a rags-to-riches story, was out on loan at Truro and got called back due to injuries and he just hit the ground running. Big time.

Cooper and Mayor easily the standout performers for them. Mayor played as the 10 and Cooper on the Left hand side cutting in. Both very creative. Mayor very one-footed though.

For what it's worth, Lux Park is 10 minutes away from me. Got to go to Liskeard tomorrow so I'll find some suitable bushes and put my best KM hat on...
