Don’t get the negativity. A point against a decent side when being nowhere near our best. Training pitches ****e , so not best pre season preparation. This whole situation is new to everyone and will take time . A point a good foundation. That attacking mid to drive forward and create is vital.
New season.first game under new owners and thought atmosphere was dreadful . Block W full of absolute mongs that only made noice when it was something negative
Even with all the shenanigans not sure there is an excuse for not being fit.I don't think we looked fit (Kev said we were 2 or 3 weeks away from where we should have been) Thought Walker was poor but then again we did not put it into the areas where he is most effective.
It reminded me of the Euros under Southgate, play well the first 20 minutes then sit back.
A long way to go and we will get better.

Well that was ****.
Second best all over the park, we looked lethargic and devoid of any spark. Felt like a continuation of last season and pre-season where we struggle to score a second goal.
Bridge playing in the middle was totally ineffective & cost us our width and creation today. Joe Gubbins will want to forget that game.
Fair play York. Deserved a point minimum, and probably the better team tbh. Fancied them to be up there this season & on that showing it’s easy to see them doing well.
Good to be back at the Hall, but those kind of performances will not get us out of this league. Major work needed
I agree, but I don’t think that would have stopped York knocking it around very nicely in the 2nd half.Crying out still for that third CM who is going to be creative and drive on the front foot. If we are going to make a big money signing then that’s the one to throw money at.
I didn't see us doing any of that, on the contrary everyone apart from Walker were barely making any runs and we were playing direct (with little success) in the hope of knocking it down. It felt more like the kind of rubbish you'd see 20 years ago in League 2.
Think Blackburn and the 6inch long grass and massive divots- we reseed far too late - but that’s probably still down to RonHow patchy was that pitch though! Don't remember it being that bad first game of the season![]()
I thought it played wel though in fairness and played better than it looked ? Maybe I’m wrong I don’t knowHow patchy was that pitch though! Don't remember it being that bad first game of the season![]()
Couldn't have put it better myselfIMO York played the much better football and we decided to let them dictate the second half completely. For the first 45 we were ok then it all went to pot. Maybe it was the heat but that is the same for both sides. Happy in the end to have finished with a point.
Agreed, it was a bit dry but guess that was just the heat.I thought it played wel though in fairness and played better than it looked ? Maybe I’m wrong I don’t know
If it’s lack of pre season preparation we’re bemoaning then why try a totally new tactic come KO (Bridge in a more central role) .. that’s surely something you try before competitive games start. Small moan though and maybe Bridgey had nailed it in training.I was quite clear that we looked extremely undercooked and under prepared during our preseason .. our woeful midfield ( it is woeful it was woeful last year and even weaker this year) will never give us anything other than backwards sides ways ooh to have their little black lad that ran and ran at us all afternoon in our team.
York were literally miles ahead of us across all areas of the park and should have and deserved to win … before you all start patronising me … Maher in his post match interview … we are 2-3 weeks behind where we want to be …. Really ? Why??
He also played quite deep (as did coker). They seem to play alongside Miley and yet we still get played through. Perhaps if he was pushed further forward or our players played it forward more and less predictably.If it’s lack of pre season preparation we’re bemoaning then why try a totally new tactic come KO (Bridge in a more central role) .. that’s surely something you try before competitive games start.
