Chorley V Man City XI 01/08/23

[LongsightM13]

Fail to see the benefit of these friendlies, the players look out of their depth against a physical and pressing Chorley team.

Defense have been poor so far, a lot of mistakes and panicking and half the players look like they don't want to be there now.

Hopefully a stronger second half to boost morale and belief

Massive reality check and a great learning experience
They are now under no illusions whatsoever of the levels required to have a professional career in even the lowest levels of men’s football
Reminder that Chorley are two divisions below the football league
And there were some people demanding some of the lads like Ndala were promoted to the first team squad

That may be a "Swales" attendance, a local regular reckoned it was closer to 3,000. ;-)

As I have learned in both my personal and professional life
Nothing good ever comes from visiting Chorley

Nowhere near ready for the start of the season. Top 4 finish looks like a good season based on that performance.

Is the Shane Richie car still there?

Not seen it for a while now but probably is

This is on you, Pep.

Txiki out

Definitely more than what was said officially
