plz don't let this man starts the season 

You're going to need to narrow it down a bit...

[JimJams]

Well that was a training ground set piece that looked like absolute shit

We must have the least effective full backs in the league with him and JJ. One ignores players in good positions and passes back, the other gets in good positions and passes back.  

Makes me miss Fuchs and his dangerous crosses

[Finnegan]

"BDCR has started to pull the strings for the foxes" 

 

That's the biggest stretch I've ever heard. 

 

[moore_94]

Get Ricardo, Alves, and Cannon on

Which one??  🤣

SADDAM COOPER

Utter garbage these. Regardless of how poor we might be, we'll struggle to score here, as literally everytime we look like threatening they just cynically foul us. Hideous to watch, especially as the ref won't do shit as it's a friendly 

[Finnegan]

This King Power advert is ****ing amazing best thing I've seen all preseason so far. 

 

"Of course I'm going, Leicester City, foxes never quit!" 

[trabuch]

I know it's only pre season and you shouldn't really read anything into it, but Derby's record may be under threat this season 

[GingerrrFox]

**** me Steve, I don’t care what you’ve promised Bobby Reid before he came here, unleash the Alves mate. He’s your number 10 you’re crying out for. 

[ozvaldo]

Really inspiring first half.

Really, wow. Maybe the train would’ve been cheaper. 

Pre season though isn’t it, just a kickabout and fitness test, still over two weeks away from start of the season. I went to leuven a few summers back and it was great fun, had a skinful of Stella. Couldn’t believe some lads behind me were annoyed about the performance! 

 

the flights were horrendously priced, and then my wife started to talk about going with me as well, just because she'd never been germany. shrewsbury and palermo were bad enough without spunking a grand to get there

 

hopefully by fulham away i'm a bit happier with the style of play but currently worried about a very long season

 

[The Guvnor]

We look like a team going places……

Straight back down to the Championship!

[Fazzer 7]

Absolute shite. I dread to think what this season will be like. I predict we'll finish bottom with about 12 points.

Considering this is the standard of opposition he faced in the Austrian league, Daka still looks like a competition winner

Augsburg are miles ahead of any Austrian side. Shrewsbury were closer to that level. He didn’t look great against them either, mind

**** that. I'm off to Enzo's new house to stand outside crying until he agrees to come back. 

 

[dbtcity]

Average going forward yet again…. looks like Winks isn’t going to be as vital a cog this season either as he was last everything seems to be going over his head 🤦🏼‍♂️…. Going to be a long hard season but we all knew that

Yep. No messing around just whip it into a dangerous area and something might happen. That would be better for Daka, just get in the way and try to poach something. 

[copunk]

Don't think it's been that bad, not as much as some are making out 

Very very much like last season, lots of the ball but not much cutting edge 

Midfield being bypassed slightly too easy though 

[Countryfox]

No cutting edge up front ..  is ultimately going to cost us survival if we don’t get someone in ..  😬

[Ric Flair]

Is this pitch about 2 inches long as those excruciatingly slow balls out from the back, especially from Justin are pointless.

 

Mavididi looks good when he can get on the ball in space. I really hope Cooper realises he's got to set the team up to find Mavididi out wide rather than centrally.

Look at the bright side, the points deduction will be irrelevant AND we go into the history books yet again!

If we’ve got any chance of staying up we need to be extremely lucky with injuries, a few players up front to have the season of their careers, to get good at set pieces and to bring some creativity into the squad. Just can’t see where the goals are coming from.

[Oldblueyes]

Why do we play with a left-wing,  receive the ball, come inside, pass back. Everytime this happens. We do look clueless at the front.
