Losing games can become habit forming, we suffered that under Jones. As soon as we went a goal down we gave up knowing that we were going to lose, which of course became self-fulfilling. Equally a winning mentality can become habit forming.

Don't care about the result, if I was manager I'd be concentrating on trying to get players something that resembles fit during pre-season, i'd rotate every single game until the season started to give them a run out, these footballers should be aware of tactics, fitness is the main priority atm. Even so you'd have thought we would have brought ince on when trailing to give us some attacking impetus and guile I have owned Subbuteo players with more “attacking impetus and guile*” than to mince, though I do like you lower casing his name  *noun....cunning or sly intelligence |

Sadly they didn't live up to their name. And mainly minced around the pitch. Then they got trodden on. And died. |

I remember the promotion season under Lou we lost every pre season game including Newcastle town game. I also remember us comfortably beating liverpool pre season with a Hoekstra screamer. And a few months later they Muellerd us 0- 8 in the league cup You remember wrong - Liverpool bummed us 8-0 in the League Cup 4th round in 2000. Hoekstra wasn't signed until 2001. |

Some on here making it sound as though we have been battered in all our preseason games.
Weve played 2, won one, lost one by single goal each.
Dont get too hung up by preseason, it's a time to assess and evaluate.

Dont get too hung up by preseason, it's a time to assess and evaluate. I also guess the players have been having tough sessions during the last two weeks so friendlies are mostly about getting back to shape. Maybe a bit different this season as the break has been a lot shorter than usually, but still the friendlies are mostly about fitness and formation. Won't lose any sleep because of a 0-1 result yet to be honest!  |
