Hope it is not a repeat of last season when I recall we lost a few pre-season games to higher league opposition and then started the season less than convincingly
Rather loose pre-season than at the start of the real season.
Pre-season games are for getting players match fit. Too much emphasis is attached to results by fans. Whenever we have a superb pre-season we always seem to follow with a poor season.
I wasn't emphasising that we lost those games last year, I am suggesting that it didn't do our confidence much good when you look at the start we made in the league i.e.drew v.Hereford, lost at PNE, lost at Burton, lost at Barnet, drew with Macclesfield, drew v.Chesterfield, drew v.Rochdale, drew v.Rotherham. First win wasn't till 19th Sept v.Notts County.
