Any positives from the Lewes match?

[StonehamPark]

Yes, apologies for my typo........ Good player though, went out on loan at Dartford and always impressed when I saw him in the Dev Squad. Off topic, Charlie Harris also came on and although he kept the ball well (arguably better than Ince and Holla), his progress seems to have stalled, and he didn't pose an offensive threat at all yesterday.

Charlie Harris sounds exactly like JFC then.......

I thought Harris was ok, the number 21 right?

I don't know what his position is but it looked like he was playing the Ince & Bridcutt CDM role yesterday.

What the were the 2 DS strikers like is Akinada (Sp) aanf the other one cant remember his name Kinda or something similar?

Yes, been a lot more further forward with the Dev Squad, didn't get to show his shooting ability or killer passes for me.

I see him as a bit of a Lampard/George Graham.....

Tottenham average. Chelsea forward lots of tricks and promise, but needs to relax - trying too hard.

Sorry just checked Argus for spelling it Akindayini (ex Spurs) and Kandi (ex Chelsea) thanks for your view.

I wouldn't recommend using the Argus as a spell checker !

Arrived in Lewes midday. Nice little market. Visited a few pubs. Sun was out and got to stand whilst watching. Negatives- £2 for a tiny programme with lots of adverts. Queues for toilets. Oh and the football.

Colunga was absolute sh!te.
Showed about as much interest as a vegan in a Dewhurst shop.

Thought the same and a touch of unwarranted arrogance about him too.

That maybe a good sign, in that he knows he is off at some point soon.

Agree with previous posters the two young centre backs gave good accounts of themselves. Tilley showed some great touches and made some good runs, think sometimes he should have released the ball a little earlier but he's young and got time to learn that side of his game. New keeper looked assured, commanded his box well and claimed crosses easily and looked to get the ball moving quickly.

In the second half Monakana looked lively and went close a couple of times, created a few chances for the rest of the team to fluff.

Tilley and Monakana...

No injuries.
I notice that CH in his interview mentions that as an important element of games at this stage of preseason, so might that be a factor in why a number of players didn't look as though they were putting in full effort?

 

[The Birdman]

Unbeaten so far if you look at other teams friendly results are not important it will be what the team delivers on the first leauge game.
However I am looking forward to the Home friendly .

Watching the team shape was a positive (albeit with the same goal return as many games last year). It was a proper 4-4-2 without Clunge & CoG having to go out wide. With a different and better starting 11 plus some pace and guile on the flanks, we could be in for some entertainment!

Not sure how a proper 4-4-2 can be seen as a positive, but that is probably just me. Our strongest area of the team is central midfield and hughton seems as though he is going to limit that to a 2. Shame we have gone backwards, hopefully as the DS and u 18s push through he will be forced to change (should he still be here when/if that happens).

Wiy nott, eye doo !

I thought Ince played well. Bossed centre midfield. Holla offered very little. Would be happy to see him moved on.

Tilley I thought was terrific. Direct, ran at players. Showed some nice tricks, I was impressed with his quick feet and he really looked like he wanted to impress. I have very high hopes for him.

The front two of COG and Colunga were poor. I'd like to see COG not play wider than the width of the penalty box. He collects the ball wide, lays it off for a cross and then is obviously no where near the ball once the cross is delivered. The sooner he and Colunga are sold or released the better.

As much as I love Calderon, playing him right side of midfield is going to get us nowhere. Monakana was decent when he came on.

To sum up I can't wait for attacking players to be bought and added to the first eleven.

 

[T soprano]

Was this the same Lewes team that Whitehawk thrashed 5-0 a couple of months ago?

 

[Machiavelli]

The two young CB's, White and Dallinson, plus Tilley. Maenppa very assured.

Monakana looked dangerous in the latter part of the game.

This. Ward looked direct and quick too.
