I’m sure for the number 7, the lads are shouting Jack.

Cieran Dunne at 3 and Jack surname unknown at 7. Like the look of Dunne once he got going, good pace down the line and dangerous delivery from the left.Yes, Reg, but how good was he at defending? It sounds like we were exposed again.

Jon we heard before it’s following last year’s recruitment strategy and they will probably be better players. Give a player an extension fanfare sign players 3 players fanfare scratch around for rest. I hope I’m wrong.

About the recruitment Steve!! Let’s wait and see. It’s only 2 weeks old the pre-season. Some people want this some people want that. Some people say the board don’t put money in. Some people say GMC shouldn’t be in charge. We have a great football club that is ran the right way. Yes we got relegated last season, it happens. I support my club as everyone does, people want things done differently. Be careful what some of you wish for.

It sounds like we were exposed again.He didnt have much defending to do. Only time Armthorpe looked like scoring really was on corners. We are still vulnerable on these even against a 10th tier side.Williams is awful on these and is constantly caught underneath crosses. He is the worst centre back in the air i have seen at Rovers for a long long time. 1997/98 in fact. Faulkner showed him how to head a ball. This lad as Brian ( Selby ) keeps telling us has a big future ahead of him. He was excellent. Best prospect I have seen at Rovers since Ian Snodin was 17/18 Now that’s praise.

I wasn’t overly impressed, a couple of miscontrols and seemed quiet. First game back though and lots of rusty performances. Only looks a young lad so one for the future maybe.

On the wider issue of recruitment, we can’t rush into any judgements on the likes of Dunne based on a game against Armthorpe Welfare. If he continues to do well then maybe he can strengthen the squad, but it would be a big risk to sign somebody to play at left back that’s played so few senior games and even then isn’t recognised in that position. I’m not sure we can afford to take that risk alone. But a left back and Dunne to strengthen the left side may see us in a much better position.

I totally agree about Williams; he's dreadful.It sounds like young Faulkner is very good. Would you play him in our regular back 4 from the off, or do we need to sign another CB?I think you'll agree that our current defence wouldn't be good enough for promotion.

There are loads out there. Honestly, two months ago I thought we would be nailed on to have a much more positive season in 22/23 than most people expected. I get less confident as the days pass to be honest. GS saying he we went two up top in the second half because he thought we needed an extra body up there!!! Surely these games are about grinding out patterns of play to work on the shape and style you want to play going into the season, not making it up as you go along tinkering the tactics to out smart a 10th tier side!
Its all about match fitness and players getting minutes.

Surely these games are about grinding out patterns of play to work on the shape and style you want to play going into the season, not making it up as you go along tinkering the tactics to out smart a 10th tier side!Yeah that’s strange. We’d be better off losing every preseason game if it was drilling a pattern of play into the lads so we look like a proper team come the real thing. I’m not so worried about recruitment it’s the ability of GM to be better than a Dickov type manager I.e. pick and 11 and hope they win.Also if our favoured starting set up means we struggle to get bodies forward against a 10th tier side it looks like we’ve learnt nothing from last season re scoring goals. Hope these aren’t patterns of what we’ll see in the future
