If we did lose 5-1 it would t have been without experimenting and messing about with systems etc. No way would a Warnock full strength 11 get away with losing 5-1 to Accrington Stanley

If we did lose, it’s obviously not the end of the world but I’ll never understand the “you can’t think anything of it” brigade who jump to the rescue when we lose a friendly… You play to win, always, so you should be disappointed if you lose as that means players didn’t perform. I agree winning is very important, its the most important thing. Saying that we thumped tranmere rovers last season in pre season, which meant nothing for a long period of the season.
Warnock will take what he needs from these days, he is vastly experience as we all know. When you have new inexpeirenced head coaches, you start to see x y and z from pre season. Warnock stated we wont even be working on tactical stuff until a week before Plymouth in seriousness .
Warnock has done this over and over , he wont be fooled either way.

Today we had 3 friendlies all behind closed doors, Accrington and the B team and under 19’s at Burnley. I’ve no idea what the results were but how knows who played where?

Thing is, if Leeds were to play Barnsley in a competitive game tomorrow, they may well bet them but I doubt it would be anywhere near a 9-1 score line. And the same could be said of Town and Accrington; there’s no way in a competitive game we’d loose 5-1 to Stanley: it would be odds upwards of 100/1.

Context for those (unreasonably) concerned: In 2007, Warnocks Palace drew to both Bromley and Chelmsford and made the playoffs. In 2010, QPR lost to Crawley and drew with then LG 2 Plymouth. Warnock won the championship. In 2016, Cardiff City lost to Forest Green Rovers 3-1 and Exeter 3-0 under Warnock. They finished the season 12th in the Champ. In 2017, Cardiff conceded 2 at Bodmin, beat Tavistock 1-3 and lost to Shrewsbury 2-1. They were promoted in 2nd place. Last season, Sheff United lost 3-2 to Scunthorpe, 3-0 to Mansfield and 2-1 to Barnsley in pre-season. They were promoted automatically. Results in friendlies are not an acid test for seasonal performance.

The on the front foot approach Warnock spoke about looks like it needs a bit of work

It does seem odd that they haven't said anything about the result. You can bet your bottom dollar if we had won it would have been announced.

It doesn't matter anyway, no hiding on Saturday.

Let's put it this way. If you thought Leeds beating Barnsley 9-1 behind closed doors on the weekend was amusing, you won't like the score we lost by today..... You know absolutely fuck all. It was 1-1.

For F#cks Sake... Pre Season Friendly’s eh - (or in this case not) ! ☹️
So tomorrow I’m all booked up (non refundable since Monday) in Fort William for Saturday’s pre season friendly v The mighty Clachnacuddin - Just had a look there for any updates and well low and behold - Fort William cannot muster a team and the game is OFF 😬 😬
Ach well them’s the joys off The Highland League I guess... This was to be a 12pm kick off - I’ll probably take the usual lie in till 11.30am, have the usual munchi, shower, then look in at The Taynuilt Highland Games for a bit and then head North over the Connel Bridge to Fort William, check in, have a beer and bumper dram in The Guest House and hit the town to The Ben Nevis Bar, The Volunteer, and hopefully I’ll get a Live Band and a Snog in The Crofter Bar to make up for the loss of seeing Clachnacuddin FC !

Going to the match this season - friendlies are usually a waste of time, but Edgeley park is a (long) walk from my house so I couldn’t miss this one.

yes, think he will be out for a while considering the comments from Neil. Lees and Turton still out as well I assume. Ben Jackson and Tyreece Simpson the two from the pre season tour to miss out, injuried or are these the two who neil was reffering to as the players who didn't make a good impression on him down in cornwall?
