Crewe Friendly

[masi 51]

i am sure he will.....some home truths will be said in that dressing room

[Leyther_Matt]

I’m prepared to accept we might only win 45 games out of 46 now. 

[Rizlar]

I have never been impressed with 3-5-2 hopefully he will prove me wrong but only a friendly plenty of time to improve.

We've got great owners, got some money (relatively), a better manager than we expected and made some really good signings for the level we're at, and kept 3 of our best midfielders when we half expected to lose them.  Nothing's changed, I dont give a monkeys about pre-season games as long as we dont get any significant injuries.

It’s a pre season friendly calm down lads 

[radcliffe white]

Next Saturday will be a good test

+1

[Rizlar]

He will sort it nothing to worry about only a friendly 

[blackleywhite]

Will he not have subbed all our stars at half time or soon after?

[paulhanley]

Should sharpen us up for the real business of league and cup.

Always going to be difficult throwing a bunch of players together all at once & expecting to piss a league because we've a few proven top tier league 2 players. Teams who have had a structure in place for a while with decent chemistry are ahead of time of us. For years we've been throwing has be's together just to get by. Evatt had a shit start last season at Barrow lost around 5 matches out of 8 at the start but once the players started to click they blitzed the league. The concern is we are lacking massively in terms of the bench going into the season, just a bunch of young defenders who are there to make numbers

Apparently not.

Conceded one after not clearing a corner. Crewe must have some giants.

It’s for fitness and match fitness and working on tactics and shapes

There's some really great exciting teams who play it especially in europe e.g Atalanta. On the lower scale Plymouth & Ryan Lowe got out of this league with it. All down to the players to know thier roles & but most of all you need the quality

You're a fucking loser for buying em in the first place. 

Real fans haven't put a penny in the club since 2012 and have front row seats at the flying flute (imagine that went under years ago)

I don't think I've heard of Jones or Gordon, they new signings or academy?

Edit - just checked, recall them signing

Gordon is the left wing back we signed from Dagenham

[marple whites]

I am pretty sure the season we got 99 points, we didn’t win pre season

[Arrested development]

It's gonna take time to get things clicking properly with all the new lads. Let's see how we do against Bradford.

I think it’ll take 3-4 months before we gel, just need to be within striking distance around Xmas time.

I just checked,  hoping that you were right.

We won at Atherton, York, Queen of the South and Rotherham in pre season that year.

We are all guilty of looking too closely into individual results.  2 years ago, about an hour into the 2nd game of the season, we'd beaten WBA away and were 2 up against Bristol City.  McGennis looked like a great signing, and we couldnt believe we'd signed someone as good as Wildshcutt.  The other outfield starters were Olkwoski, Wheater, Beevers, Andy Taylor, Lowe, Murphy, Ameobi, Vela and Buckley.  Only 2 or 3 of those would be an improvement on our current team, but we were on a role.  It means nothing, if you dont have a plan and a way of playing.  That's what we're getting with Evatt, it will come good, I dont care if it takes a few months to see real evidence.

I went to the 1st two of those.  Is that the year we lost 1-0 at Carlisle?  I know it was in the McGinlay era but not sure which year.
