For whatever reason Sheron is still on instead of Sloggett. Maybe he is not fully fit and will play the last 30 mins

Pretty weak second half line up. Sometimes a defeat is good in pre season so the manager can see the problems.

Well that was concerning to say the least.

3 experienced outfield players plus a bunch of kids and trialists out for the second half? That was pretty much an invitation to Scarborough to put one over us.

Until we see a competitive game with a first team 11 it's only ever going to be fitness and a chance to look at all players and possible new players.

I very much doubt Scarborough would have got anything against our first 11.

Never read too much into friendlies, it's all about fitness and trying different players. Guiseley beat Bradford last week but that doesn't mean they are better than them.

If we were playing a makeshift team what makes you think Scarborough weren’t doing the same ?

Let’s see what sargeant Sarll has to say, let’s hope he doesn’t talk too much shite this time…

My point is its a friendly and even if Scarborough played a team of trialists it's still a friendly. Have you took my advice and turned the oven off yet.

Second half we played the last 15 minutes with 10 men, we had no attacking threat at all, Adamson didn't really get a touch. The positives were Sloggett and Hunter looked good and Mancini looked fit. Glad we ended up injury free on a plastic pitch apart from Campbell Darcy. i hope Waterfall is back soon!

We can all take friendly results with a pinch of salt but what it doesnt change was the midfield being overun yet again, bit of a lack of pace and any sort of creativity and the keeper situation is starting to become a joke.

Im shocked at what i witnessed tonight and i know its just a friendly before anyone gets on one so we have time to get things right but i was expecting to see a bit more than that tonight.

In fairness to sarll his post match comments were measured and is under no illusions about the young ones, most sense I have heard him talk

Worrying to hear about about lack of pace in
Midfield again really hoped that had been sorted

We tonked Sunderland in a friendly this time last years, which was an indicator of sod all.
It’s a friendly against Scarboroughnon a miserable East coast, a glorified kick about, anybody drawing conclusions from it or worried by the ‘performance’ is either a frustrated fussy old spinster or disappointed masochist.
Much ado about nothing.

The majority of opinions especially on other platforms is that we are nowhere near ready to get the better of Yeovil.
Obviously friendly results mean jackshit but they give you a little Indicator of whats to come.
Obviously.
Imagine the other 23 teams will know who is starting in goal on August 10th.

We cutting it fine to get this promotion squad together unless we bringing some mint 1 year loanies in.
Opinions.

Regardless of result it's good to see Dodds and Mancini featuring this early in pre-season, bodes well for them being ready for the first league game.

Strength in depth isnt magically going to appear though, we have none, moving away from our strongest 11 or 13 and we have literally very little if anything, pace in the side isnt going to magically appear after friendlies so yes you can draw things from friendlies, the keeper and our first choice one at the minute once again looking completely out of his depth wont change either.

We played really well for 10 minutes at the start of the game, high energy stuff, so im presuming that was the press, but no beating round the bush scarborough looked like they had some quality players in midfield and once the early part of the game was over looked like they could score at will

Major positives were dodds and mancini looking really fit. Downside once we move away from first 11 we have nothing that stands out. Only a friendly but in 3 weeks time something needs to have changed.

My take is that we’ve gone from lacking any strength to now lacking strength in depth. Hopefully a positive development, but an ongoing process. I like the sound of Adam Smith in goal for the first half, comments about him being vocal and commanding of his box, something that we haven’t had for a while..

yes, far more important than the result of the game where not picking up injuries is the most important.

But all of their actual goals came against a Pools back 4 that started off as Darcy-Trialist-Burton-Stephenson - and after Darcy went off injured Pools played the last 15 minutes with 10 men!

Nothing to see there really, but with 3 players injured in pre-season (Waterfall, Charman and now Darcy) I can't help seeing a disconnect between Sarll's insistence that he prefers a small squad and the physical demands of wanting his side to be one of the fittest in the division to suit his style of play. Even if all the crocks have been weeded out (apart from Wallace

) it's a big ask over a 46 game season.

Apparently the centre half trialist was Billy Sass Davies who has played for Sarll before. Just left Crewe but was with boreham wood last season on loan.

Honestly it could and should of been 6, the first half wasnt much better, but forgetting the result etc and goals, the lack of pace, the midfield just looked very ordinary all very similar type players no flair no creativity to me was a major major concern.

Like ive said before just utter nonsense saying he wants a small squad, two of our players are coming back from serious injuries, who is to say they dont get set backs. Sarl must of said in his interview i like working with small squads and the board must of been running round the room celebrating at the time, because anyone with any common sense knows strength in depth is key in this league, not only that if thats his style of play last night, then we are going to lose a shed load of players through suspension, because friendly it certainly wasnt last night, tackles were flying in.

Sarly had to come out with the small squad bullshit to get the job.
Looks like anutha manager yet again with a half decent CV being asked to do the impossible.

No probs a small squad if its majority quality. But it ain't and I judge your match assessment as being honest Billy as a few think you have a vendetta against the club.

Ticks all the boxes of a miserly run club.

Is it still a no escuse season and we bang on track to win promotion.
Maybe I have bad vibes syndrome and I'm miss judging the pic picture.

You can only say what you see, adam campbell looked a good player, mancini and dodds looked really fit, the midfield looked lifeless and devoid of ideas. The keeper looks out of his depth still. Friendly or no friendly we still have major problems.

Scarborough looked a bloody good team i must say.

Can't get at all excited by last night's performance and. result. Sarll is clearly still trying to assess triallists and give some members of the first team squad game time simultaneously.

However at some point soon he is going to have to put some semblance of his preferred first team out. If they lose, they lose but these players need to start playing something like a competitive game together.

It would also be nice if Sarll provided an updated on the currently injured players. He will soon find out that Pools fans absolutely hate the cloak and dagger 'hush hush' stuff.
