No, but he said it was down to past mistakes, ie not Gestede.

It does feel different,it's the most important factor.

Quite looking forward to when the loans start happening,it's shopping at a higher level than we can afford without the risk. Wonder if we might try the foreign loan market , if that's allowed.

No reason it would be unpopular if it's true. It actually looks to have been a good pre season,like you say we'll just have to see now how good, or not,the new lads are.

🙄

Doesn't bother me.

I didn't read it as embarrassing, more that they took a late chance to play a good level of opposition prior to the last week of build up. There are many things to worry about, Rovers travelling on a coach and coming straight back isn't one of them.

The music lads are dusting off Appetite for destruction as we speak.

Could be, it just seems to me it was a hurriedly arranged opportunity which suited both clubs.

Yeah

Looks to me like they just took advantage of a good level friendly at the last minute. No need to over analyse it.

Didn't see the game, but there's no need to overreact over one defeat any more than 4 wins. For those who did watch, how did Toth do? I'm hoping we can count on him.

Good

Opposition wise, it's been as competitive a pre season as I can remember. It looks like we couldn't have had much better preparation.

Looks like it

It's the 12.30 kick offs which are the worst for me,they can clash with the grandkids footy.

Thought you were quoting some Latin then, honestly 😂 I'm imagining Emma Watson saying it.

I don't know what a real one would look like then, probably much like this.

You're ignoring the obvious.

Of course they're appalling, they're going to be when so many potential buyers are pledging not to buy one. Why would they be good?

He's probably happy about how things are going,if it's going as expected. Can't grumble about pre season .

That looks to be his best position, seeing a game out.

Two deputies of "starting standard" who are willing to sit on the bench virtually every week? That's the balance required, not easy to achieve.

Horses for courses n all that, there aren't many teams that can carry 4 or 5 "starters"

That's what I said earlier, coming on to shore a game up
