These lapses of concentration in defence needs to be ironed out, firstly I know we have league 2 defenders so there's always going to be lapses of concentration and moments of really poor defending but last season I thought our defence has an whole we're fairly solid but had too many lapses of concentration, same as the season before in our promotion season, it's uncharacteristic of a Hurst team in my experience so he must be slightly concerned how we always seem to be prone to it. Just something to iron out hopefully before it costs us too many sloppy goals.

That’s it mate- sportsmen are going to feel slight niggles, especially after a break, and then the sensible thing to do in pre-season is rest. But, don’t let that get in the way of the ‘too intense a pre-season/ Dave Moore’s methods are dated conspiracy’ that currently seems to be building.
No more than normal , but carrying a squad of 20 senior outfield players means you are closer to bare bones even after a couple of injuriee - you would expect Braithwaite and maybe even Essel on the bench against Wimbledon if we don't bring anyone else in before next weekend . I would take that though tbh , rather than 25-30 players - we had Pepple, Symonds etc coming off the bench last season with Maguire Drew & Kiernan also , who although decent you would not say are top end league 2 players - we seemed to have numbers but not the quality ; now we have the quality but not the numbers , which I would prefer tbh - it's very much the Steve Evans approach last season which worked , and ironically left Rose up top as the only fit striker for the run in to get them over the line . Let's hope he stays fit because he's obviously fundamental to our plans like Conteh , Mularkey , Rogers and Eisa who will all be on a decent wedge for this level you would have thought , and are all probably too good for it or at least top end league 2 players .

It’d be nice for somebody to quash the Mullarkey heart issue rumour this week

I watched the post match for just that , but it was not even mentioned - not sure if that's a good or bad thing ?

That was the official club one where they never get any deep questions in, Matt Dean will no doubt ask some decent questions on Weds/Thurs

Hurst saying in his post match he’s expecting 2 definitely out for Sat, maybe 1 more so I’m not sure it’s THAT bad.
One things for sure though, we’re talking about injuries and a lack of goal threat in another pre season, at this point you have to start looking inwards for some of the answers.
Injuries are part and parcel of football, and we just played two League 1 sides, one we won 2-0, the other we lost 1-0. We will have more injuries during the season, as will every other football club, 2 definitely out for Saturday is not a big deal.

Apparently he went for a scan on his heart after having some chest pain second half vs Lincoln. Apparently the scan results came back all clear, but still due to be out for a couple of weeks. But I’m not sure how true all that is.

Two genuine questions.
1. How many pre season games have you seen? 2. How many pre season games have you seen that we’ve played against teams in leagues below us?
3 and 1 (maybe 1.5 as Lincolns team was triallists reserves or youth for 2/3rds of the game) ......I understand your point...however .....regardless of number of games , or level of the opposition the rest of the players involved also faced the same and they managed to perform to a level , Vernam has disappointed for me so far.
