Pre-Season Friendlies!

[EnglishRed]

The Wrexham fans are going to have a field day with this.

Why did one of our lot not check at full time to see if there were any Kidderminster fans on here who were going to come and discuss this match? Do I have to do everything on here in regards to Propaganda?

This is the fucking problem with streaming aswell. It's all there on tape.

Losing at home to Telford took the shine off beating Kiddie.

I don't think any Wrexham fan cared that day considering the news that came out. I doubt the players even cared.

Gave Gateshead a thrashing today 4-1 in our final friendly, also sent a mixed/youth side for a practise match whatever that is to the Loids and drew 2-2.

Despite all that’s gone on, pre season results and performances have been good.

Aye, on the pitch has been good, they played some decent stuff on Saturday and looked like a football team, can't wait for us to shoot ourselves in the head on Saturday against Aldershot (if it happens!)

We look worryingly bad. Diamond takes away all our threat and was abandoned at half time.
Midfield looks leggy with no bite at all and Sam looks a lightweight carthorse.
Honestly think losing Dennis, Crawford and Rose makes us weaker than last season with Thomas, Doyle and O'Brien all knocking on.

One thing that we’ve seemingly done every pre-season for the last few (obviously a special case last year though) is refuse to give any game time at all to what is our strongest xi. Seem more interested in trying new formations and line ups, which I’m not convinced is ever the best preparation.

I expect us to still start on Saturday back in a 4-4-2 with Reeves and Doyle in the centre, Roberts back on the right (if fit) and Wootton upfront with Thomas. Why we’ve decided not to bother getting any minutes in that line up, I have no idea.

That said, I still don’t think anything can really be read into it. I remember that pre-season where we looked great in our random selection of games against Galatasaray and Osasuna but lost the first eight in a row or something in the league.

Just randomly bumped into Ken Hodcroft outside his house in Newcastle. Had a chat with him. Fair to say he’s not a fan of Raj Singh.

He didn’t fancy an HUFC reunion then?

Was with him about 10 minutes he was really chatty, not as you’d expect him to be. Didn’t exactly say he’d step in but agreed that we’re in real trouble and thinks RS has treated staff badly. Says it’s a shame as he thinks DC is a good manager and is building a good team. Obviously follows it all as he knows the craic. Asked me to come round and pick up some old programmes but I’m not posh enough to hang out in Jesmond all that often.
