 Welcome to Toffy TV, we are going to do a final way of sorts on Saturday's second but final pre-season game ahead of the game at Spaces on Sunday. Decent run that wasn't it? Yeah, I mean considering, obviously we didn't have a full team. It was alright though, it was done alright. I pressed on it at the game Friday but it split the team anyway at the show. But I thought you don't consider young Harry Tarrer in goal or not. I thought done there he will face Scoushess and Andy Rankin to play in goal forever. I thought he done alright. I thought as a runner, as a game it was alright. Some good things, some things that a couple of people was a little bit disappointed in but other than that. It was always going to be tough wasn't it because like you said there, the internationals a week before you've lost a big chunk of midfield, defence. So it was always going to be tough but like you said the players who stepped in I thought did really well and as you said the goalkeeper done brilliantly. He was great with his feet but I imagine that shows the way football coaching is going for goalkeepers now. A lot of it is with the feet now. Obviously a big part of the game for them so. I suppose that before going into some of it the real disappointment was obviously Mason Hallgate. Silly little mistake to relax trying to be clever. And then stupidly trying to make a recovery tackle like that when you think it's only a friendly mate you don't need to put yourself in a position where you're getting hurt. I mean when you look he probably would have been better just trying to recover running alongside the lad and see if you know what I mean and getting back in and then maybe throw him a slide so he was trying to right his wrong. I mean he should have just cleared the ball anyway first trying to do me it and let it up through wasn't great but obviously he probably make that tackle loads of times and come out of it okay. We don't know what happened yesterday and hopefully it's just bruising on his toe and he'll be alright but it's a bit of a worry when you see him going off. But he did walk off and he was gingerly but he was walked off. I'm just got a hope that it's. But he left the ground on crutches. He will do the isolated and he don't do it. It's one of those isn't it. I don't know. It's not going to be able to speak. It's a difficult one because obviously you know we know about all the metatarsals and they can if there is broken it'll be about six weeks. Six weeks isn't it. Which is not ideal at the beginning of the season obviously. But hopefully it's just bruised and he took exit for course and we find out later this week. But he went off and obviously John Joe he just scored obviously on his return to Gwldersen. He goes in at centre back and Carl John comes on the right back and he acquitted himself really well I thought. He did and he started like a safe start of the game alright and obviously he had that goal really on. Ken he done really well to be filmed. I don't know why he's so far up but he done really well and following in and took the right well didn't he. He tried to get forward early on and tried to push on high and then obviously when he went to centre back Carl John come on and you were looking and think and you know made a lot of money and he was obviously sub a blackpool was he come on later blackpool didn't he in the face on but he come on and really comfortable on the ball and made some good runs going forward. So that's promising when you see in lads coming in and now this is going overboard it's pressed and it's my Premier League football now but at least he looked comfortable on the ball and he looked like he had a nice desire to get forward so yeah I thought he done well. I grew up in Dan I thought really well which was good. Drake cross in the second half to well cut. And obviously on the other side as well. He looked good he looked strong looks like he can run with the ball well. Not sure to confidence so that one's going to be interesting now as well to see whether he does or is the backup for the season. Obviously we were told that he was going to spend time with the under 23s but he's been involved in both games and there's no one else naturally to play there. Obviously he was talk of Fabian Delphine to fit in there but I mean the chances of Fabian Delphine on just on a football pitch would be incredible never mind playing left back. So I mean for the amount of times that he would probably play in a season anyway he might as well just train with the 30 and maybe they'll say you know have some games with the under 23s so you have some games but obviously we haven't seen him via Premier League opposition of course. But he looks like he's got the attributes certainly. I mean you're trying to when you're coming into the Premier League you've got to have a baseline of attributes now the teams and he's fit you know six foot he's physically strong he's quick comfortable in possession. The one thing is defensively some of his positioning isn't great at the moment and that's something that they'll have to work on and you'd expect that anyway going into that. But he did I thought he did do quite well and he has some great runs he loves to chop when he's running with the ball he does like that. But yeah he was really athletic put a couple of great crosses in so likes to bomb on forward which is what you want from your full backs. So yeah I think I was very impressed with him. Thought he was our best player overall to be fair. Yeah he looks like he's fitted straight in and it's good you know you've got him and you've got obviously Branthwaite obviously being brought in from that side of things you know young players not massive fears. Lewis Gibson can buy for them too isn't he? Yeah Lewis Gibson obviously was prior to them but for what we paid for him you've got three promising players there. What did he think at Gibson? I thought he was alright. So I think Gibson is probably like the... See this is what's going to be really interesting now because you'd imagine one of those two players and it's looking more favourably like Gibson or Glolton Lawn. Cos physically I'm not sure he's ready but at the same time he's like the more Mason Holgate type of player with Branthwaite more the Michael Keane type of player. So that's interesting as well and I don't know whether they've fully made their mind up on that but Branthwaite's got that little bit of experience as well. But Lewis Gibson's played more games on loan so it's... I don't know, I just don't know whether Lewis Gibson's physically ready for the Premier League. Branthwaite's saintly is but then the same things Branthwaite's not great at all. You know I don't know if he's brilliant in the air. I don't think Gibson's, that's my one thing looking at him on sat there was a bit like got bullied a couple of times in the middle of the box. I think centre-backs now almost don't get brought up to be like that. It's almost like they were just saying about the goalkeepers having been great to kick. It's like I'm not sure centre-backs. I don't think there's that many fully rounded. I just think she hogates the football but he's decent in the air. Lewis Gibson's just a little bit. It might just be time in that role then. He's got the art, he's good on the ball. He's made a great recovery. He tackles second half after he's been done. He really looks confident and comfortable. To me, he looks more like a natural left-back to me. Just the way he is, the way he carries himself on the ball in the centre-back. But he's certainly got the talent. It's just about time and probably his jumps and stuff. But then, if you'd said that two years ago, you'd probably say the same about Mason Hoggate. Possibly very similar. Possibly very similar. And that's maybe why Gibson will go back out on loan. And if he can get, I mean there's talk about Huddersfield isn't it? If he goes, he'll have a full season in the championship. Then he'd have to win. His majority of it doesn't go and lay in that side of his game. Where Branthwaite, while he isn't amazing in the air, is just naturally bigger anyway. So he's going to win probably more headers anyway because he's sick of it. Even if he just leans into people a little bit. Exactly, so he's easy. But then I'd say Lewis Gibson looks a little bit sharper on the turn. So there's two of them. You've got a bit of work to do with both. And you're right, it will be interesting to see which one stops at the club for another. Because obviously the Gabrielle things, well documented, but he's going to watch them. It'll be interesting to see whether they decide they need a loan just for cover or whether they think we'll keep Branthwaite back and we'll let him train with the first team and he'll be number four as the set. Because we've seen already Mason Hoggate. For all we know, he's out like you said before. If it's a mess at Arsenal, it could be fours or six weeks. He might not, it might be back at Sunday. But it just shows you how quick that go. Gerry Maynor, who was training again, he didn't risk him at the weekend. He's there. At Sunday it'd be Michael Cain and Gerry Maynor if Mason's not fit. But it just shows you one injury and with that, it's a two centre backs. And then if you're sending Branthwaite and Gibson out as well, you've got to go and get some on show. It is going to be a little bit of a juggling act. It worked okay for us till lockdown really with the centre backs. And then only then. We got Hoggate injured and we got Cain injured. And don't forget, Mason Hoggates only just coming back from an injury as well. From an injury at Spurs. And now they try to reconcile that. And that was a bit of a knock as well. Which, yeah, they're going to have to look at it. They're going to have to make them out of it. But he don't, like you said, Gibson don't well as well. Kenny don't alright, you know. So that was good. Into midfield. The area I was disappointed in, I'm disappointed in, I'm really disappointed in. Wanted to see. The one run he had in the lad, done a terrible tackle on him there. The only real time he was positive in the game. And now he's playing in a different role. Three footballers playing in the middle of the park just for numbers with Bernard. But I thought Bernard looked good. Thought he grew into the game and got on the ball a bit more. The trigger didn't do okay. But I wanted to see him a little bit more direct. Whether he just couldn't get into the game in that position or not. Wanted to see a bit more. I don't know, I don't know. It's going to be an interesting season for Anthony Gordon. Because I think a lot of people have got high expectations of him. I really don't have high expectations of him. I just see a player that has come into the squad. And needs to be, needs to get more game time. I'm not looking at him thinking he's going to suddenly go from this to being something else. I think there's a lot of promise there. But I think he knows himself physically he's got to get bigger. You get stronger, you get faster. And then maybe the talent you've got is that you unlock that a little bit more. But I'm certainly not relying on him. But you do expect sometimes when you see a game like that. I think against good professionals it's not always easy. When you are moving out of position as well. And there's maybe a little bit more asked of you. Because the ball's supposed to go through you a little bit more. I think you can get disappointed. I think if he's going to play there fine. I don't believe he's going to play in the middle of the park. I know we were just using what we had. Because obviously people were away. But I'm not delighted to have just seen him a bit higher up the pitch. Because we know that he's got that ability to go back. I must admit though. You just mentioned Bernard there. But I think Guilfe playing as well. Obviously he didn't. England obviously played Iceland and he stepped away from that. He didn't want to be involved for whatever reason. But I did think that he looked quite positive. And whether people want to wear that or not. But he does look like someone who wants to fight for his place. I think the two games. That isn't it. I said enough near the end of the season. I don't think he was good enough playing in the way we had him. And he isn't good enough to play in a team on the field in the Premier League. Not quick enough. We've liked it that already. We've got Alan in through the door. The Corey is another one on the Fadgeshine. So we've looked at that as well. But what I would say about the tickets is against Blackpool. It wasn't great. But he worked hard. It wasn't brilliant. But he was everywhere. He could see what was going on. I don't think we can question his professionalism. And can question his attitude. We can question whether he's quick enough to do the job that we're asking. But he isn't an issue in terms of you don't think he's going to try. Some games he's not. He's not just games. He's not just flying into tackles. But I thought he'd done all right at the weekend. He did. And like you say, some people won't want to wear that. But he's not someone who you go. He's not going to try for us to be playing because he isn't. He had a decent game at the weekend against them. So you know, see what happens there. But Walcott's another one. He's one for me. I know he's a good professional. And I know at times he can be, because of his pace, he can get caused sort of position problems. He's quite, isn't he? That's what I'm against them and just think. The last game you should be running. But Bellassie came on. And Bellassie showed exactly what Walcott should be doing. I don't like Bellassie on that one. I don't really care. But Bellassie's straight away. He just got the ball and run at them. And the amount of times you want Walcott to do that. And he always does something, whether he doesn't believe in his own pace anymore or whatever. Checks back to him. Yeah, Bellassie came on. And Bellassie just run at them. And I know, listen, he had the miss and it was awful. And it's a shame really, because if he'd got the goal, it would have been nice little cap. Would have capped off a nice little cameo of clearance for him. He was positive. He was involved in the build-up to what should have been his goal. And it's come across and he's just seen a goal. And he took his eye off the ball and swung and missed it. You know, he's big enough to go on Twitter in the night and own it and say his kids to give him a stick. But he did, he had a good little cameo. And that's what you want to see from Walcott. And you know, they just like breezed through the game. You know, and Kyle's y omba, mynd on that and the right. You know, we should have been taking advantage of that. Because he's seen on the others. And I know the difference between the Charlesons much better than Walcott. And he wasn't amazing the Charlesons. But he was everything that happened. He was through, it came through the Charlesons, didn't it? But you know what? He scored a really good goal in the first half of pity. It was ruled out because that was a cracking move. He finished it brilliantly. And then it was in for Dom's goal again. It was a lovely little move. You know, nice and sharp middle of pity. But I got a great ball to the Charleson. And Fizer across and Dom, whether people like him or not. He's in the right place at the right time. That's two games, two goals. Give me 15 to 20 of them a season. He's scored. He's getting better all the time. And I hope some people just don't like him. That's fine. I'm not telling people what they shouldn't like. But I don't know if he can question whether he can do it. Because he can do it. But the ball in the right area will score a goal. And if you give him, if you put more quality in there, what you haven't tried to do, the lad and the Charleson will benefit. The only thing that I'd like to see from us going forward is... I don't know where... If we're going to play this 4-3-3, then we have to get people closer to Dom. Because the reason why we were looking like we were dain to listen to scoring goals, when Auntie Lothi was coming with us, because we were playing 4-4-2, we just naturally have more people in and around the penalty area. If we're going to try to tinker it a little bit and we're playing with three up there, we have to get them a bit closer to Dom and the Charleson. Otherwise, he will be isolated and then we'll go back to when we couldn't score goals. That's the only thing, but it's pre-season. They've had the team and people are getting up to speed. It was a decent run-off. I thought they had a good goal, didn't they? Yeah, and they keep mentioning the keeper. They keep saying in the first half, made a great save at 1-0. Don't do your 1-on-1. He stayed big and then the one in the second half where he knocks her on to the crossbar, point-blank header. That was a goal. It was a good header. I felt sorry for the other keeper, Hanson, because you're thinking, just play a couple of minutes off his time. He got on, like, jogged on. I was on for about 35 seconds and he blew the whistle, but he's come on in a bit game show. He's got that under his belt. Clean sheet. It goes run-out, clean sheet. Obviously, we had a couple of goals this allowed as well. Dom had one in the second half. We've won the final pre-season game, which very, very rarely happens for us. Are you worried going into the start of the season that you've only played two games and we haven't had that? I don't know. I know other teams have played like four, five, six. I don't know. I just don't know. Every year I've been mowing our pre-seasons. I just think they're rubbish. I just think we... There has to be something in it. I look at other sides and how many games they play and the quality of them and how they get off, the blocks stay to right, players are ready to go and I look at us every year and how we just play no marks and we just sort of... It's just me mowsy. This year is different. That's what I'm saying. This year is completely different because the players are three weeks off from finishing the Premier League season. They're back in it. I almost think it's like... Obviously, we're playing spares. They've had a lot of games. But... I don't know how hard they've been training. I don't know how hard we've been training. You feel like you've only played three games, haven't you? I think. No, they've played four. Yeah, because you had two in Germany. Charity Shield. Of course, the Charity Shield. So we would have had three when we made the black man game. So I don't know how hard we've been training. I don't know whether we've been playing under 23s versus first team. Charity Shield. I can't see anyone flying out of the saps just because of the situation. So... it's a difficult one this season. It really is. It's hard to criticise anyone. The black man game we never played because their pitch was a mess. It's just a season like no other, isn't it? So we'll just have to hope that by the time... I mean, the other thing you would say is that we've gone away on international duty. Look at Dean's plate. Sadly, Shane Miss hasn't. Andre Gomez has been sent home. Pickford's plate. Michael Keane hasn't played. But the training, aren't they? It is what it is. We'll see from Sunday what the situation is. Hopefully we'll have more new players in as well to add to that. It's a decent run out. Pre-season done. That's weird. Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Who impressed?
