liam11 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I’m somewhere in the middle with this tbh. Results don’t really matter. It’s more about fitness and getting up to speed. But this is the thing, it really doesn’t feel like we’re up to speed. Players with niggles and knocks, no new signings integrated yet with not a lot of time to do so, barely scoring and still conceding plenty. Shankland not grabbed even one goal, not heard anything much from Oda either. Tonight’s performance levels & selections would be something you’d expect earlier in a pre season schedule, not a week and a half out from your first game.

Bauld Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Not paying a great deal of attention to the results. Always want to win any game whether its a friendly or not but it isn't the be all. I do hope that the players are getting match sharp though. What I'd like to hear from anyone who has watched us in any pre season game is that the players look to be improving their fitness, working as a solid unit, enjoying their football. Probably most importantly, Does it look like the players are not only working on a style and a game plan but buying into the style and game plan our new coaching team is implementing. Because even with the right players, The fitness levels, if the players don't buy into what we are trying to do, We are in for a really tough season. Followed by another new management team.

Ronald Villiers Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Pre season friendlies mean nothing at the end of the day, other than the final couple prior to the season starting. It's all about giving everyone a runout and trying different formations etc. I've seen a good few dross performances pre season over the years. It's going to be difficult but we'll have a better idea of our style of play and where we're lacking against Leeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I hate this part of the season. Nothing can be concluded from friendly games. Win big = "opposition were pish, how are we meant to improve if we play shite like this" Lose big = "what are we even doing playing teams way above our level, we won't be playing these every week" Can't even take anything from a performance as nobody will be trying 100%, because who wants to get injured pre season?

Tynecastlesmychurch Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 So preseason games mean nothing. It’s just about building up fitness and getting an idea of shapes, formations etc. Even so theirs no getting away from it. It’s been far from inspiring. I’d like my players and coaches to want to win all games. I mean who likes losing to dross shitey little diddy crappy teams from the arse end of the English football pyramid! That being said as long as these losses aren’t hurting the confidence of the players. And they are enjoying the run outs. Getting to grips with the new style etc then yeah okay I definitely fall into the camp of everyone chill the F out it’s just about fitness etc. Leeds on the other hand is a huge club and a big test and I’d hope that we’d treat that game a bit differently. Treat it as a more important game. I’d really love us to put on a performance in that game and go for the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brux Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 For those who aren't involved in football, preseason friendly results mean jack, it's all about the minutes. My memory is not perfect but I don't think we have done well in friendlies for years and it's not mattered one jot. No team worth its salt gives two hoots about what the scores in friendlies are, just the fans. We will be fine come the season KO, I wouldn't be surprised if we beat Leeds, but again that will mean nowt apart from minutes for the players.

ramrod Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 The only thing niggling in the back of my mind is its Naismith/McEvoys first pre season and could they have got the prep badly wrong ? The fact that most games have been behind closed doors probably tells us there has been a fair bit of experimentation going on re systems etc. The one thing we have is under them we played fairly well the last 6 games of the season so it would be a major shock if we have regressed as badly as the friendly results suggest . Sunday will tell us a lot as we will probably treat this as close to a competitive game as we will see this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
