I suppose you'd say we've looked pretty direct during preseason (although a lot of that against Cardiff was really just rushed clearances under the press), which would align with WLS reporting that we want more pace and power up top. That might also be a reason that we're willing to let Kelman go.

Edit: I'm also now reminded of Bould shouting "hit the 9" during that training video and us all wondering who the 9 is. Maybe it's one of these two ! [Post edited 24 Jul 19:15]

Think I read on here that he'd only played there once or twice previously, so not his "natural" position.
But he does carry the ball nicely, it would be interesting to see how he looks in that role. |

I'm not so sure. I liked Martì because I liked his character and I felt like if given enough time he could progress the club. But, even supposing Stéphan takes us on a long poor run, it isn't like there weren't those with Martì too. And it isn't like we played liquid football. I think it will come down to how well Stéphan connects with the fans. |

There's a third variable you've over looked there, which is the _tone_ of the point being made. If the point being made is dripping in condescension and self-importance, you should not be surprised if the reaction it gets is ridicule. Because frankly it comes across as ridiculous. |

Interesting what do we know about pape meissa ba? There's some showreels on YouTube but I'm never sure how much you can learn from those, and the music is always dreadful.
Looks like he only signed for Schalke 6 months ago? |

I'm sure it's somewhere in here already, but I recently watched both series of Andor. Passed me by originally despite the rave reviews because it's Star Wars and for nerds right? But it's ace. Set in the Star Wars universe, but gritty, very plot heavy, kind of game of thrones-y, exploring the moral complexities of rebellion. Fantastic sound track too.
I'm currently watching Twin Peaks for the first time! Loved the first series and first half of second. It's starting to lose me a bit now, I apparently Lynch stepped away from it towards the end which shows, but I hear it picks up right at the end when he came back on board. I want to stick with it because apparently the recent third season not long before Lynch died is excellent |

The hydrostatic force distribution metrics within the sanitary infrastructure of the Stanley Bowles architectural facility have demonstrated statistically significant positive variance trajectories, with quantifiable performance indicators revealing substantial optimization in fluid delivery mechanisms and pressure differential coefficients across all lavatory installations, thereby establishing a measurably enhanced operational baseline relative to previously documented suboptimal hydraulic performance parameters. |

Totally agree on both points. By contrast Cardiff looked really well drilled. And Madsen does at least always look up when he receives the ball, like he's looking for a big through ball. But he was on the pitch for that final 15 minutes where we basically didn't have the ball at any point except when doing the goal kick routine. |

Re Kelman and Poku, to be fair Poku has shown he's got something about him in the two preseason games I've watched, justifying some excitement about his potential.
If Kelman had banged a bucket load of goals in over preseason so far we'd all be very excited about it. But he's not had that many minutes, and we've not got much service to him.
There's probably also the fact that there's a bit question mark over his future at the club.
That said, I'm personally hanging on to the thought that we'll keep him and he'll replicate his L1 form this season - because without that hypothetical it looks pretty bleak, unless we find alternative reinforcements before the season starts. |

Genuinely painful to watch the last 15 minutes of lose possession - shot - goal kick - piss ball - lose possession - repeat [Post edited 23 Jul 15:44]

I know Cardiff are a bit further into their preseason but the thing that alarms me is how much better organised they are, you can see what their patterns of play are. So far today, and also against Toulouse, you can't really say the same for Rangers |

Cardiff loving a super high press, and we don't have an out ball that works so far to exploit it on the break |

Nourry stood next to Stéphan just to the edge of the frame? |

I really like the look of Vale. Him playing at DCM is an interesting proposition, given the competition for the three AM positions
