I hope he's starting, leaving Ben out doesn't usually end well. Leaving Ben aside, that’s unfair on Corey who’s far better than anyone else brought in except arguably Vit Jaros. f*ck Vit Jaros, all my homies hate Vit Jaros.

As much as I don't want it to happen, I think the writing's on the wall and Addai will be number 1 from the off. That's the feeling I've got all pre season and I'm not keen on it. I'd agree. Would be a kick in the teeth for Ben and undeserved.

"Stockport were extremely disjointed & half arsed" was how one poster on Carlisle's board described us today. I read that as we were probably petrified of picking up anymore injuries before next Saturday & played at half throttle. Glad pre-season is over now. Hopefully we get more of a gist on who's out long term again & who's due back soon. Looking forward to getting stuck into the real stuff but still expecting us to have our usual disappointing slow start. It's the County way!

The only thing I can take from pre season is I have no idea who to put in my FanHub 11.

It's the County way! such a shame thats thats how weve had to be in the final pre season game as we prep for the actual season. Seen fans from other clubs today say theyve played good football and had what they think should be their starting 11. We may aswell played Stockport town and cheadle. Just to get miniutes into players

Are you on commission for posting about Jaros? Addai may well turn out to be better than Ben, not seen anything to suggest that this pre-season though. He hasn’t been bad, but needs to be much better to take the shirt.

Pass straight into midfield to bate/camps or to the widemen and hopefully get up the pitch quicker

He’s calmer with the ball but his passing has led to trouble plenty of times just in the two games I’ve seen him. Ben’s passing is generally excellent. And we’re underestimating the relationship he has with Horsfall, Pye, Knoyle etc. That doesn’t just form overnight.

Cambridge lost 6-0 today so it could be worse.

If addai doesn't play he wont form those relationships that hinchliffe has on the pitch with his defence

It's pre-season. Don't panic, Captain Mainwaring!

If addai doesn't play he wont form those relationships that hinchliffe has on the pitch with his defence Why take the risk when there’s nothing wrong with Ben? It’s like sacking off Olaofe and bringing someone else in but saying it might take him a while to start scoring. Long term I’m sure he’ll be number 1, but I don’t see any need at all to bring him in yet based on his pre-season. And I’ve heard people say that as soon as Ben makes a mistake he’s out. Why? Is he only afforded one mistake? One poor game? Every single players makes multiple mistakes each game.

Don't do pre season friendlys for the same reason DC says he hates them. I therefore will have to spend the next few weeks familiarising myself with the new set up. Injuries are though a real worry. I wonder whether Mr Stott has down graded his expectations given those who may be absent for some time. Also any truth in a rumour either on here or other board about Powell not being part of pre season due to fall out with Challinor. Isn't Powell a close family friend of Stott?
