RamNut Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 a bit of truth in the fact that this has been disappointing..... the games have exposed a lack of cover in certain positions not sure how nigel wants the team to be set up. strange to rehabilitate croft but not leacock surely leacock could play DM? i personally cannot see any point in Conor Doyle but hey ho....we'll see soon.

Bris Vegas Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Yeah and we had a good start up until november. Its no guide at all. As long as I can remember, the way a season pans out could never be foretold by how we played in pre-season friendlies. I'd hardly call winning 1 game in your first 6 a good start.. (4 points from a possible 18) It only started to click when we signed Kuqi, Fielding and Bueno.. And we all know how the season panned out anywhere.. The team that started those 6 games was actually stronger than our team now.. Scary that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Ah yes, missed out our battling draw with the mighty Barnsley. Our supposed great set of NPC CBs have done a good job recently, 6 goals conceded in 4 games against the likes of Exeter, Macclesfield, Morecombe and Crewe. OK, no more negativity.. Positive thinking! We're going to avoid relegation this season!. If I say it 1000 times I'll soon start to believe it! Job done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The debate was whether preseason matches matter. You obviously think they do - I don't. We may well have a crap season, I don't know. I don't believe the friendlies tell us that. We were 4th after 4 months last season - that could be classed as a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Wonder if Glick still thinks we're going to be top six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffsRam Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 You do realise that using the "It's only pre-season" argument is giving everyone licence to start moaning when we start losing proper league games....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're allowed to complain a little bit more when it's serious and competitive But it seems to be that because we can't keep a clean sheet against Exeter in a friendly, we're condemned to another season of misery. I guess if Leicester beat Real Madrid this evening in their friendly, they could mount a serious Champions League challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I can see both sides of the argument. No point getting worked up over meaningless games. However, conceding quite a few goals and scoring only a few against frankly, sh1te teams, doesn't exactly bode well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current situation IS worrying, but breaking out the pitchforks now is just going to create a self-fulfilling prophecy of a disastrous start. As I said earlier, I'd like to know whether Glick seriously still thinks that we can make the top six this season, because if he does, with the current set-up, then he's either lying or just plain stupid.

It's pre-season. This is still pre-season. Please tell me you understand why I keep repeating this. The lack of fullbacks and central strikers is a worry but you can not use our performances to judge how well we will do this season. Even if we do turn out to be crap, we'll be crap in a different way to how we're crap now. It's pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say wait until we play in a competitve match against serious oppostion. Pre-season is a means to an end, results have nothing at all to do with it.
