Preseason friendly etc etc but no leadership whatsoever either - the only one I can hear/see encouraging others is Smyth (!)
Guess that should pick up in second half with Dunne, Cook and Chair to come on |

Erm never played in goal but should Walsh also have been more alert for that second goal? |

Yep, got the sound on now as well.
Poor goal to concede. Don't know if they're further along pre-season, but they definitely look like a more settled side. We still look like a bunch of strangers (which is basically true at this stage with this lineup!) |

Great post, Terry - makes total sense on all points!
I've been following this thread religiously over the last few weeks but never had the time/energy to come up with anything worth adding - feel like everything's been covered several times over, by lots of regular posters whose thoughts I really value, expressing things far better than I could.
For context, I am: a long-standing and regular match-going fan, member for two decades but never had a season ticket, for a range of personal reasons; embarrassed by the way the managerial situation has been handled; sick of the selective communication, which seems to make really fertile ground for rumours, counter-rumours, ;apprehensive about how any new manager will do when, Paal apart, we don't have much/any confirmation of official ins and outs of senior players so close to pre-season; really concerned that Nourry is not improving in terms of communications, and seemingly content for the older/"legacy" fans to feel increasingly alienated from the club; looking forward to going to my next game, when the fixtures are announced, because I always do!

There were certainly plenty of matches in the first half of the season where it looked like he didn't want to be here! |

Really enjoyed last night and good point from the OP - yes, did also really feel for Bennie.
Not so much a thought as a question - the bloke I was next to last night seemed to know a fair bit more of than me and suggested that if we won, we'd become a Cat 1 academy. Does anyone know if that is true? I'd always thought it was something which depended on whether the club wanted to invest in making it happen or not, rather than something you 'qualified' for.... |

Have driven a few times over the last few years and all good.
Haven't driven in Paris, but generally find French driving better than here in the UK - tend not to have any muppets sitting in the middle lane of motorways (people actually drive in the correct lane depending what speed they're going at!) and compared to driving in London, drivers seemed more patient - have never had someone beep their horn at me, where I get that every now and then here in London for things like not breaking the speed limit. Lol.
Got the Crit Air sticker before last year's trip - easy enough to get it delivered to a UK address, ours came very quickly (within a week IIRC, although you're advised to apply for one further in advance).
As noted above, you notice the difference when you come back to the UK and the 50mph speed limit on the M20, punctuated by that lovely bumpy road surface. |

Also thought he was good and was delighted to see his assist. I am a massive Chair fan and am really looking forward to him hopefully starting games soon and bringing his qualities to the table.
But did anyone else notice that before the game, he seemed to spend quite a while in the warmup on his own, doing kickups in the middle of our half but not really part of any group... and then after the game, he did applaud the Lower Loft/SAR but apart from a quick exchange with Kolli, made his way to the tunnel? Had hoped he'd enjoy milking it with the rest of the group a bit more, having provided the assist!
I wondered if he'd been hoping he'd start, or maybe he's feeling under the weather and just wanted to get home.
Hope it was nothing and there's nothing to be worried about, but seemed a bit odd to me. |

Excellent as ever, and hoping for a less Preston like performance tomorrow, fingers crossed for some actual entertainment |
