We'd have won that under Schofield. Really starting to wonder whether Warnock is cut out for this. 4 points from 6 against lowly opposition, the final game is now massive. Season defining one might say

Friendly matches barely have a bearing on the start of the season, they're training games, any fans opposition or otherwise who think anything else are being extremely naive. Is your new Avatar in support of Just Stop Oil? Just Stop Hoyle?

I remember a very good Newcastle line-up loosing 6-1 against Orient in a pre-season friendly. They went on to take the Championship title.
I also know, on that very same day, Sven’s Notts County, including Sol Campbell and Delroy Facey, played and beat bitter rivals Notts Forest, 2-1. Forest were pipped to second place by WBA and lost in the playoff semifinals to a Blackpool side that would ultimately make the PL. Notts County, minus both Sven and Sol, finished top of League Two.
The point being you can judge anything by friendlies.

Genuinely don't care about results in preseason. Not even bothered about performances. I'm yet to see any correlation between preseason results and performances and how we do in the season proper. Even performances. I seem to recall people were raving about Reece Brown's performances in his first preseason here. Mentioned not that long ago after an uninspiring performnance against fleetwood a couple of years ago according to some we were going down, we ended up finishing third in the league.

What some people on here don’t seem to understand is that these games are mostly about tactically deploying the personnel we have and trying out new systems in order to see I what can be used going forward. Neil has already said a new forward is a priority so I would read very little into any pre season friendlies as they may not be reflective of how we set up against championship sides.

Neil has already said a new forward is a priority so I would read very little into any pre season friendlies as they may not be reflective of how we set up against championship sides. As I said... And then the fans will moan like hell when the players are rotated nonsensically to get games into their legs and as new tactics are practised. It's the same every year - Town play friendlies and the fans whinge about being short-changed because the team doesn't wipe the floor with perceived weaker opponents. Then the moaning and wailing about how poor we look and how we'll be nailed-on for relegation will begin. You can't - and shouldn't - read anything into these basically fitness activities - but many will. It's no good denying it - it's what always happens. These games should all be behind closed doors so that the two managers/coaches can crack on and do what they feel is necessary without fans booing, cat-calling and sniping. I know it's an unpopular view, but you'll never catch me going to these events because I know exactly how it's going to pan out. 😉

Luck of the draw. If I'd gone to Bodmin I'd have seen 9 goals but I'd decided on Tavi as it was slightly nearest of the 3 fixtures, and I saw a 0-0. You just shrug it off and crack on. It won't put me off trying to get a ticket for Plymouth.

Eight hour trip back to Huddersfield today including a couple of short stops. The M42 was horrendous . A couple of holdups on the M1 . Then , what must have happened minutes before , a two car crash on the outside lane of the M1 . No hard shoulder (smart motorway) , they were still sat in their cars with traffic flowing past at speed , god knows how they sorted that out other than completely shutting the motorway down.. Must admit , it's put me off travelling down to Plymouth. Couple of nice days and nights in Tavistock though , bar the result . On another day , we could have scored six 😉

Seem to recall under Siewert we won a few friendlies and the lads looked hungry and focused. Started the season and we looked fucking clueless.

Remember a few year back if Town had good pre season had a bad main season, if had a poor pre season had a good main season, seemed to happen all time in my younger days!!

In 03/04 the Jacko Division 3 (League 2) season, we were unbeaten in pre season beating higher divsion opposition in Wrexham and Sunderland and then started the actual season terribly. Pretty sure we had a decent pre season before 00/01 as well and then won one of our first 19 league games.

I’d like to hope so Sugy as you can never be too meticulous in planning in life... I like to be totally organised in all planning and advanced planning all being well of everyday life, and my goodness it makes life that much easier for sure - Town may well or may well not find out anything startling about Plymouth Argyle but they’re new to The Championship after a good gap out of it and it would be worth a wee look at them I’d say (though Town may want to do any ‘spying’ discretely) - but yeah, it certainly wouldn’t do any harm to glean a little info on them as every wee bit helps in the cut throat environment that is The EFL Championship for sure !

Hopefully that massive smile on Sorba's face is a sign of the times. Edit: just realised I've set everyone up for a bunch of Prince puns

Today's line-up v Liskeard (1pm ko) More like a first team line-up. I presume Hogg and Lees are injured.
