4-5 A good result or not? :icon_bigg :icon_wink

 

[MatthewHei]

better than lose...

 

[Papasmurf]

Got to do better than that agains a non league side.

Were 11 changes made at half time?

Saw the starting line up on the match thread but couldn't see the 2nd half team.

Can anybody help?

 

[Dogbreath]

For the bleeders to score 5 against anybody is a plus in my book :icon_wink

There's no point in getting excited about the first pre-season though.

The test for me is going to be against Birmingham when they've played together a couple of times and Pearson should have been able to impose his will on them, if we get slaughtered then I might start to worry.

Does it matter what the result was?


What's important is the players getting fit and learning to play together, and the manager learning about the players.

Very good point.

I withdraw my comment.

 

[slyfox]

but a least we know were the goal is so far.

of course it matters, the players should have kept themselves fit over the break anyway. Whats the point in playing a game if you don't intend to win it?

Remember winning builds confidence

Match fitness is not the same thing as physical fitness. It takes a while for the players to get used to playing competitive football again.

It's always good to win, but it's a meaningless game, and the result is far less important than the other benefits they get from playing the game.

exactly, they get to try out a level of football more fitting to their performances

Quite right Boy Genius. That is why you are a genius whereas people like Jeff and myself are just ordinary mortals. I would guess that people like Sir Alex or Roy Keane would have wanted to win every game. I would have liked to have been present when someone told Brian Clough that the result of a game didn't matter.

 

[glyn]

out of interest, can anyone give a quick summary on who scored?

 

[From Gradel to Grave]

Howard, Adams, Gradel, Fryatt (pen) and Ashley Chambers.

I admit it, I'm wrong.

It would have been far better to play the first choice eleven for all 90 minutes, giving us a better chance to win the game, than to give all the players a match so the manager could learn about them in a competitive situation. Winning a meaningless game is obviously far more important than preparing properly for the games that really matter.

Come on, sort it out - they're not that hard to tell apart:icon_bigg

He asked for the scorers, not the order they scored the goals.

 

[highland fox]

The score is irrelevent,slightly worring the defence let in 4 against Hinckley though.However has stated earlier these matches are all about regaining Match fitness

 

[Brauny Blue]

Score dosent matter really. That said after falling behind twice, its nice to see a bit of spirit in turning it around. I'm sure the Hinckley lads would have loved to put one over City.
