If we pump teams the way I'd pump them, Stevie G will be lifting European silverwear this season. If the team shoot their load in the first 30 seconds of the game this forum will want Pedro back before the end of July Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We then went out to progress He should have been gone at that point That’s not the point im making mate. Yeah he shouldn’t gone after Progress but that was a competitive European game, TNS was a closed door friendly - you can’t judge a manager on friendly games.

Originally they were Oswestry Town & Llansantffraid Football Club, they then sold the naming rights of the team(!) to a cable and network company (Total Network Solutions) as part of a sponsorship deal. When the deal ran out, they changed their name to The New Saints - presumably because they still had a shitload of kit and stuff with TNS printed on it. The Welsh Premier is a physical league with more emphasis on graft than skill, but TNS are a cut above the rest. We should pump them, but then we should have done that last time.

I would imagine we will need at least a couple of frendlies in addition to the European games before the season starts. Least they can do is arrange something like that rather than closed doors games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.A.I 36,183 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 There's a rumour of Derby away weekend of 20th to 22nd ... I'm thinking of going to the under 23's/reserve tournament Kings Lynn that weekend though there's a game vs Legia Warsaw on the Friday night then another on the Sunday either the final or third place game.

Think the problem is that Europa league is every week so right now they will not be sure if home/away or if a fixture will be changed. With closed doors it can be more of a training exercise.

As you can see, they mean very little in terms of score, it’s about getting fitness levels required for competitive football. As I quickly learned in my youth from a certain Mr. Shearer (you may have heard of him) there is no such thing as Rangers playing a friendly where the score doesn't matter. Yes, fitness is the main aim, but the score matters a lot. Maybe the standards of yesteryear are a thing of the past these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have to sacrifice anything to get a league title. Start like you mean to finish.

You’re completely missing the point and yes the game has changed massively. Players play 60+ games a season sometimes so fitness is the absolute number one priority in preseason as it sets the base for the rest of the season. If you’re talking about Alan Shearer, he was a shite manager so I wouldn’t be focusing too much on what he says. Majority top managers in today’s game focus on fitness and game time in the off season, often rotating their team setup and players to improve fitness of the whole squad.

I was actually referring to Bobby Shearer, not that guy from Newcastle. I am well aware of how football teams prepare for a long season.
