The trialist is the French lad, obviously.

Looks like Fergie is giving some of the reserve team a run out.

It shows what strength in depth we have at moment especially defence and midfield it's a joke really we wait and wait. Chesterfield showing us up at the moment, which they should with that midfield and Alcock at LB.

May sent off, straight red on top of a yellow. Possible stamping from him?

Fergie will be furious with May for that whether it was his fault or not cant let the opposition get under your skin

Friendly cards don't count do they? unless it's a serious offence.

And if it's a stamping, that's a serious offence. 3 match suspension?

1-0 to Chesterfield. Not sounding good from us.

Post by: steve@dcfd on July 29, 2017, 04:22:03 pm
1  0 to Chesterfield only to be expected with the starting eleven and now ten. I know most are not going to be in first eleven but are they good enough to be understudies.

Some of them should not be on pitch- just shows how weak our squad is. 1 week to kick off. Embarrassing.

Post by: deebee on July 29, 2017, 04:34:18 pm
Not at all, only possibly 3 first teamers out there. First squad understandably being rested and not risking any injuries. Result of this one doesn't matter one jot.

Willams was limping in the stand on Wednesday. I'm surprised he played today.

Good job the first XI have been rested by the sound of it! Not an ideal final preparation but, frankly, who cares about the result.
Title: Re: Chesterfield v TLO Doncaster
Post by: MrFrost on July 29, 2017, 04:38:44 pm
Why are we even playing McSheffrey if he isn't part of the squad? Ridiculous.
Title: Re: Chesterfield v TLO Doncaster
Post by: DonnyOsmond on July 29, 2017, 04:39:32 pm
We obviously need a couple more players but I wouldn't judge our depth on today. Clearly players rested like Rowe, Marquis, Copps, etc.
Title: Re: Chesterfield v TLO Doncaster
Post by: Alan Southstand on July 29, 2017, 04:41:56 pm
I am well aware the score or result doesn't matter, but think about it, when some of the first team get injured, some of this second 11 have to replace them. Not doing the Club or themselves any favours.
Title: Re: Chesterfield v TLO Doncaster
Post by: big fat yorkshire pudding on July 29, 2017, 04:46:52 pm
Some, not all at the same time you'd hope.

There will still be a couple of signings and it's a half team playing at half speed.  Nothing to worry about at all.
Title: Re: Chesterfield v TLO Doncaster
Post by: Jersey Rover on July 29, 2017, 04:49:18 pm
These players should be busting a gut trying to force their way into the starting 11. Sounds like some are pushing open the exit door.

As a Club, we have to take some responsibility for this sort of thing. A total waster of a match.

Post by: darren61 on July 29, 2017, 04:54:51 pm
I am probably wrong but i thought this game would have been about giving our probable starting 11 a run out together? even for 45 mins.
Title: Re: Chesterfield v TLO Doncaster
Post by: Alan Southstand on July 29, 2017, 04:55:44 pm
This pre-season has been a shambles. And that emphasises are lack of depth in the squad. I hope the powers that be are taking note.
Title: Re: Chesterfield v TLO Doncaster
Post by: DonnyOsmond on July 29, 2017, 04:57:34 pm
Started with our second best XI and were pretty even, they perhaps shaded it. Second half our third best XI were subbed on throughout and Chesterfield easily won. The only players that will play against Gillingham came off at half time. Perhaps with Wright/Alcock too.

Disagree actually. Tuesday was a great run out. Now we're protecting some players and getting those a bit behind some games.

At this level you can't succeed with a big squad as the quality won't be there.

The next few weeks will be the judge.

Still need a midfielder and defender though.

Ben Khemis, Houghton and a center back will do for me. Mason/Whiteman can cover until Houghton is back.

These players should be busting a gut trying to force their way into the starting 11. Sounds like some are pushing open the exit door.

We started with a midfield player whose transfer listed, a trialist, a released player and a player whose best postion is right back.
How will any of those be pushing for a start, two out the three have been showed the exit door. The trialist this was a game to far.

We have needed better players yet we wait and DF and the club show no urgency to get the players. I hope when we do get the right players they are pushing the first team. The young lads who played will get no where near the first team this season. Sorry DF I am one of your biggest supporters you got it wrong today with the selection and the strategy over the two games.

Some absolute embarrassments in this thread yet again. The game was over as anything meaningful when May was deservedly sent off. In a league game he'd have walked for the first foul, lost his head totally.

Today was about fitness anyway, hence most of our first XI being rested from the squad. Result is irrelevant especially when we spent half the game with 10 men and a bunch of kids playing.

Moan, moan, moan it's all some can ever do in this fanbase.

So despite telling everyone you weren't going to buy one, you have. You're proving yourself wrong without anyone else having to.

And no, I've not bought a season ticket, I've bought two like I do every year. I just don't have the need to play Superfan from behind my computer when I'm losing a discussion.
