Guest bwfcdan Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 443 Bolton there. Good effort. Â The expected meltdown from certain sections of our support after losing a friendly has began. Laughable. Quote
anewman Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 All about fitness Fuck off fitness  It's about getting a winning formula and building confidence, last seasons pre season wa just as bad and that poor form was carried into the league  What was Spain trip about if these games are fitness? Quote

Carlos Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Sounds like Rotherham are about to have a storming season, lump it on them eh. Quote
Sweep Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 I'm to overly arsed at losing a friendly, especially when it's clearly not the first team that started. We do need to make sure that we don't pretty much lose every friendly we play like we did last season. Anewman is right in respect that we ideally want to get a winning feeling into the players prior to the start of the season. Â Anyway, fuck playing the likes of Rotherham, they should still be running up Rivvy with rucksacks full of bricks! Quote
Biggish Dave Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 I remember losing a pre-season friendly at Carlisle before going on to a disaster of a season culminating with a last minute equaliser against us at Tranmere. Â Friendlies mean nothing Quote
Marc505 Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Heard some angry views on the train. Cant believe weve lost, why we not got spearing, why we sold Ricketts, why didn't we get anelka, jealous of Coyles transfers at Wigan, playing hall against Blackpool was a conspiracy to make us not get promoted. Im just happy I made my connecting train! Quote

Can see em going down.  Same with United, they lost their 1st friendly at weekend. Quote
Gonk Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Can't remember which one and csnt be arsed searching but a season in the recent past last 10 years w e had 5 pre season friendlies lost them all then got off to a flyer when the season started. Quote
L/H White Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Tonight's trialist is from Azerbaijan apparently. Quote

The season we got beat in the play offs by Ipswich we played 3 friendlies in Denmark and we lost 2 of them about 5 or 6 nil and still had a great season it counts for nowt. Quote
The Wanderer Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Sami was the huge Nigerian with pointy elbows against Oldham recommended by okocha if I remember rightly? Â he was a beast of a man. Quote
glossopWANDERER Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Some folk do worry me when they are baying for blood over losing a first Pre season game. Â It was our first Pre season game, it was there 4th. We made 9 subs in the second half, they made three. Our starting 11 will probably never start a game together again, There starting 11 was not far off what they will look like opening day. Â Different clubs have different ways of going about Pre season. The only Pre season game that you can take any real notice of is the last one before the opening day. Even then I personal couldn't give a rats ass Quote

Casino Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 i'm hoping there was a stand full of scouts watching that first half team Quote
no balls Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) All about fitness   Dougie thinks so  "These games are all about players getting minutes under their belts. It's a fitness exercise, one in which I'm able to assess where players are at." Edited July 16, 2013 by no balls Quote
Leyther_Matt Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 i'm hoping there was a stand full of scouts watching that first half teamThat theory was suggested more than once tonight. Don't think there will be many faxes coming through though somehow. Quote
