agree with the prica, ward and anderson comments, leadbitter was poor but he's only just signed new contract. gives his all every game but needs to improve, reckon a championship loan with regular football would do him the world of good. our promotion season he was on fire banging goals in from midfield.
we need a good solid centre midfielder as whitehad just cant cut it in the premier league.

It was only the second pre season friendly i doubt keane would be too worried about their performances and neither should we. Building fitness is the important thing with these games.

Prica was horrendous and at fault for the goal.

Ward was so shakey it was untrue. I've never seen him like that before but he is still a good keeper, just had a bad night.

Nosworthy is not a right back. He looks like a totally different player in the middle of defence. Keep him there Roy.

Anderson looks just too slow.

Leadbitter didn't have the best of games but is better than he showed last night.

Higgingbotham is still rubbish but got forward well and put a decent cross over in the first few minutes.

O'Donavan is just pants.

All in all in wasn't a good game last night, but we all know we are better than last night.

i like whitehead alot but im starting to think we need to move on and sadly that mite mean deano becomes a squad player or moves on.we have a big squad in terms of numbers and alot of young lads signed 2 year pro contracts last year but we are in the reserve league this year so alot of them will just be playing reserve football for a year or two.i agree leadbitter should go out on loan for half a season and play some gamesand come back better and stronger.but for me prica,kavanagh,connoly,miller,anderson they should all be moved on imo to trim down the squad and take them off the wage bill.

Rade prica does me t*** in every time i see him play.I know its wrong as he wears the red and white but i really dont want him in the team. Surely Roy has noticed how sh8* he is and will get rid of him.

Id rather see wahorn with the first team squad and give the lad a go.

I've never seen someone give away stupid fouls so much. Like little pushes on players when there's no need to. Get shot of prica.

I thought Anderson looked better in the second half when he had Collins alongside him, Noz was rubbish, Whitehead was invisible, Ward looked low on confidence but remember its only pre season adn Keane was probably wanting to try something a little bit different.
