You clearly weren’t at the game. Wednesday missed 3 easy chances first half. The Sow one was shocking. Their keeper first half made 2 great saves ( both should have scored though) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday missed 3 easy chances first half. The Sow one was shocking. Their keeper first half made 2 great saves ( both should have scored though) I was just about to reply, then saw @sexpistol already had. As he said, their 'keeper pulled of at least 2 great saves in the first half. Gregory should have scored but their 'keeper closed down the angle and blocked well. That was the stand out save for me. How Sow missed his header I do not know, but it matters not one bit. It's about shaking off cobwebs, getting a competitive game in, getting up match fitness and match conditioning. It was a pleasant day, with a packed ground and whilst the football on show wasn't brilliant, it was an afternoon out supporting Wednesday and supporting a lower league team with gate receipts. Noting to complain about at all. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their keeper first half made 2 great saves ( both should have scored though) i was at the other end , yes saw sow missed a chance , im talking about what was on target and there keeper had very very little to do ,a shot straight at him was his only work all game , very little crosses or corners for him to catch or punch away. i clearly was at the game saw tango and his missus . 2nd half kicking to where i was , a couple of shots 1 over the bar and a very weak effort a 5 year old could have picked up. everyone near me was grumbling so i didnt imagine this. result is completely irrelevant just making sure everyone got a run out without picking up pointless injuries . if judgements were made just on today you would say alfreton will be in top 6 of there league and we will struggle but we have 4 weeks of training pre season games and more signings so defo no alarm bells just yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You claimed that Alfreton should have won 2-0 First half their keeper made 2 great saves. You just seem to be a contrarian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you've gone morgan and we appreciate the support and feedback mate. I'm a little concerned that you think we'll "struggle" on the back of your forensic preseason viewing but I'll just have to live in hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrysgame Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Don't give a stuff about friendlies, seen us over the years do really well in pre season and we all get excited season stars and we are useless, seen us poor pre season and do well in the league. It's about fitness etc, just relax....gonna be tedious on here with all the bed wetters who panic over everything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already a long campaign. We just need to see the season out, stay up, and go again in 23/24. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
