I can see where GC is coming from…
Pre-season fixtures are all about impressing a new manager, getting match fitness and seeing how any new additions to a squad fit in with the existing members. As GC has just managed the vast majority of the squad throughout a successful season, then for him, it will be all about fitness and how the new additions fit into his tried and trusted formation and tactics.
Cant believe i am about to do this, but i agree with you mutty. At least someone understands where i am coming from.
Pre-season games mean nothing. We could win them all 10-0 and then flop in the league. We could also do the opposite. They mean noute.

Fuck the EFL
I think they should be free or played behind closed doors.
All they are is a fitness exercise and a chance to see things in a match environment that you can’t see in training.
I for one only watch a friendly every blue moon. The last time i watched one (at the DW) was when we played real zaragoza, or it may have been southport at southport when my family & i were visiting for the day & rounded off our day trip with the game.
Friendlies are meaningless & pointless games whose intention is merely to improve players fitness, match practice etc, etc.
It really annoys me when supporters take these games seriously. As far as im concerned the REAL action begins on 6th august. After then (around 5pm) can we start debating about the new players, new tactics, performances, stupid goal conceded resulting in stupid points lost, & the one i will in particular be waiting for after just the ONE game – “taxi for caldwell”.

The first call has already been made:
Caldwell OUTCaldwell OUTKNOBIn this case, your comment is entirely appropriate.
Calling for the managers’ head on the back of a couple of friendly defeats really does take the biscuit, but then again he does have form for doing that sort of thing… ;)
