pukka Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Whilst it is nice being undefeated in pre season it means very little. It is about what happens from saturday. When did we last go all pre season undefeated? And if anyone knows has there been a general trend in results going forward? I.e. Good preseason means a decent season. I definitely remember us having a great pre season about 10 years ago and ended up struggling (may be the talbot season, but could have even been earlier under stitch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Guru Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 We were unbeaten last year didnt offer much...this pre season we lost our opening gameto the Ukranians... I think it is good for confidence as long as they dont get over confident and spit their dummies out if they are losing or lose a game!

leeslover Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hopefully carrying on from the end of last season plus a few more goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageTheBeast Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Pre season all about the team gelling and finding our right formation and having options. I reckon the team has gelled and we have plenty of options but does Johnson know the right formation? Until forte went up front Saturday we didn't look like we could unlock a defence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Racing Post reckons we are a decent bet to finish top half but then again our shortest odds man in the top scorer market is some bloke called Harris Clarke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobOAFC Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Cautious optimism? We seem to still be solid and hard to beat like we was at the end of last season but offer more going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scapegoat Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Seem to recall going into a season under Ritchie after a pretty impressive pre-season with some optimism and losing the first 5 games without registering ourselves. Pre-season means nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midsblue Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 In answer to OP ... "equates to confidence". 10-game winning streak end of last season, great pre-season, so cracking play and amazing goals demonstrate a confidence within the squad. Good feeling......

hollandspies Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Pre Season.....We've played Australasia, Europe, Premiership, Championship, League 2, Conference North and the Evo-stick league. Some good results, some decent goals and some encouraging team and individual performances......but we failed to keep a clean sheet. Typical Latics?

Some good results, some decent goals and some encouraging team and individual performances......but we failed to keep a clean sheet. Typical Latics? I'd say typical pre-season in general. If you look at friendlies across the country, i don't think there are many clean sheets due to the subs, experimenting, trialists and laid back nature of the games.

Scapegoat Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Has 4-4-2 predicted us to be relegated yet??? Them and the bookies putting us at 100/1 for promotion. Its only a matter of time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Them and the bookies putting us at 100/1 for promotion. Its only a matter of time... I very much doubt we are given we are around 50/1 to win the division Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy_Fent Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) I seem to recall we didn't win a single pre-season game in the 02/03 season. That season seemed to go fairly well. Though you've really got to judge these things based on their own individual merit Edited August 6, 2014 by Tommy_Fent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaddy_Ender Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I very much doubt we are given we are around 50/1 to win the division Correct we are around 50's to be champions, 16's for promotion and 2/1 to finish top half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
