    Watching the first game back, it was clear that Potter has been working on a lot of things since he’s been here (& the team). The recycling of the ball, drawing pressure from opposition players, then sending the ball between the lines to create space & one on one moments was really good (it was how we scored our excellent goal). Just a bit more execution & physical improvement & there is lots to be excited about, especially if we make a couple of crucial signings in midfield.

    So ASLEF, with that review of Everton, you know that you've just guaranteed a WHU loss. =)

    Had fun this afternoon on the Sailgate party - essentially a fan event on the Chicago River with pizza, drinks and few luminaries to chat to - lot of fun and many thanks to all involved in arranging it - it rained a bit but not enough to spoil the party, I think the weather gods are smiling nicely on us for the game itself so the games afoot.

    COYI

    Loss

    Could be a tough watch for me, got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes today, put on medication and was strongly advised not to drink alcohol in the short term while they see if this medication will work, so I'm going to have to watch us play completely sober 😱😱😱.

    Ouch - sorry to hear that
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Foderingham got away with one there, his pass straight to an Everton player but enough pace on it that it kinda bounced off him.

    Casey seems to have filled out a bit, in a good way; he looks more solid that I remember him being.

    Very unnecessary foul on Diouf leaves him in a heap by the corner flag, but fortunately he seems ok.

    Everton score.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Casey carelessly gave the ball away on the halfway line which let Everton break, but shocking "attempt" to save the shot by Foderingham.

    Erm.. I think we need another Goalkeeper.

    Blimey.

    Good luck, in all sorts of ways.

    I know these games are only friendlies, but we've been completely undermined by the keepers in the two games so far.

    Do our goalies have lead in their boots. They don't move.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Casey having a bit of a mare so far.

    Thanks.

    KWP repeated Casey's error with a very poor giveaway of the ball in their half leading to another Everton break.

    Similar to the first half against Man Utd, we're giving the ball away far too often

    And Paqueta scores as their keeper makes a howler.

    How does Potts end up marking Beto when we've got 3 big CBs in there?
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    1-1 HT, not a lot of quality on show tbh.
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    Potts looks very comfortable sat in midfield. Paqueta looks busy and the best player on the pitch. Marshall is working hard.
    I expect AWB, Bowen, Aguerd and Fullkrug to be on soon.

  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Potts is one of the few positives of the 3 halves of football we've seen so far.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Lots of changes at half time, although not quite what the commentator said (which was all outfield players except Paqueta). I think it's

    Foderingham
    Todibo- Mavropanos-Aguerd
    AWB-Paqueta-Rodriguez-Irving-Guilherme
    Fullkrug-Bowen

    at least in personnel if not formation.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Soucek on for Irving.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Fullkrug scores, get in.
