Friendlies going well ???? - 4evaabaggie - 26-07-2025
Started off with a 2-0 win over Port Vale
Then 1-1 with dynamo Kyiv
Then 2-1 defeat to Blackpool
Then 1-0 defeat to Fulham
Now four minutes in and we are 2-0 down to Lincoln.
Is it just me or does the season prep seem along way from being ready?
RE: Friendlies going well ???? - Baggie_One - 26-07-2025
Make that 3-0
It’s ok only a friendly
Make it 4-0
RE: Friendlies going well ???? - 4evaabaggie - 26-07-2025
4-0 not so good
RE: Friendlies going well ???? - Baggie_One - 26-07-2025

Still 3-0
Phew
Grant pulls one back
The come back is on
And now it’s 4
4-2 whoop

Yes, I was happy after the Kyiv game, but since then....
I know it's only pre-season and it's the same every year, but there are a lot of first-team players getting minutes. And Lincoln? Really?
Maybe I'm just a stroppy old geezer - now retired, moved house and more time to reflect on just how bad we can be.

I really never bother in pre-season its time for experimentation, I do think is has highlighted our goalkeeping problem and I do think we need a No.1 with Griff as back up, beyond that I keep the faith.
