Premier League Team

[Yousef]

Why did not we play any friendly with a premier league team? We could have benefited more than playing Kettering Town, Forest Green or Oxford Utd.

I happen to think this seasons pre season has been quite good with a decent mix of teams.

Most PL sides have been away on long tours Asia and would only field a weakened 11.

Playing a PL team at times can do sides no good at all they are better in most departments the idea behind it is for our players to get match fit and score a few goals.

Which is what we have been doing.

What?

and get beat..

Need to build up confidence.

To be realistic we are miles away from teams like West Ham.
I mean we are west London they are east.
Better funky?

Can you edit that before Hammer appears gloating

But Peterborough played a strong Aston villa side. It does not matter If we lose, it is an opportunity to discover our weaknesses.

I was wondering that as well. Everyone has been praising the players for playing well, yet we have not played anyone decent.

[Yousef]

That's what I am talking about ollyhoops. A lot of people here say we are getting stronger, but we have not tested our strengths against any strong team, have we?

yeah i mean accrington stanley played premiership opposition in burnley and drew 2-2. wow that means they are looking real good, what do you reckon premiership in 3 years? lolol

[NW9_RANGER]

nah on a serious note i woulda liked to have played 1 premiership team aswell, chasing shadows is a great way to get fit

Exactly my thoughts also

That is such a crock of ****e, results in pre season never indicate what kind of season you are going to have. In fact beating lesser teams can give the team a false sense of how good they are.

Not saying I think we have had a bad pre season, I just think that statement was wrong

[RLHoop]

Last season we beat the teams that played decent football and lost to those near the bottom. We need to rough it and learn how to win dirty.
