Goals conceded
« on: July 28, 2011, 02:37:30 PM »
I know it's only pre-season, and that pre-season is mostly about getting the players in the right shape for August 13th, so the result is always a secondary consideration.


However that said there has to be an element of bedding in the new faces and trying get everybody playing like we intend to against Sunderland and beyond, and as we all know we’ve conceded three goals in the each of the last three games so far.

So do you think that is a slight concern in Kenny’s mind?

I am caught between thinking that ‘it’s only pre-season and it doesn’t matter a bit’ and ‘these teams shouldn’t be getting that many goals against us’

What do you think?

The former, it is only preseason.
I'm sure Clarke'll have them organised for the Sunderland game.

First it is only preseason, and it means nothing, just that we are getting match fitness.

Second, we are playing without Pepe between the sticks.

Lucas has been tied to Copa, and thus not available.

We have been cautious about playing our recovering defensive players (Agger and0 Fabio)

I don't see any real reason for concern.

personally I don't care if we concede goals every match, so long as we score one more then the opposition.

The first goal against hull is a great example, kelly backs off because he dosent want to go in for the tackle as it was only a run out

Theres nothing to worry about.

The likes of Soto, Wilson, Wisdom, Insua, Jones etc have all had a lot of game time, I expect us to step it up a bit tonight against Galatasary, I think Kenny would like to start seeing some good performances from now on as well as gaining fitness.

Based on this response, how many goals have we conceded with Reina in goal and a full strength back four? None. Until I see the full strength back four concede 3 goals per game i'm not going to worry.
