Who cares? It's preseason it's about fitness not result.
We have been training 1 week - Rangers have been in training 5 weeks and beat Lyon in a final 2 days ago to win a tournament – We normally hop abroad (not possible this year of course) start off with the games against the Dutch/German 2nd division sides etc and then the Leamington’s and Nuneaton’s – Now we are straight into a televised game against Rangers after 2 weeks training? does not sound promising
I lost it at ala Giles style. The obsession over that one crossIf we don’t win this one Robins has to go. He can take Adi with him. Also if that new German lad don’t smack in a 30 yard screamer with his left foot he kept bigin up he can get the first flight back to Deutschland. I expect Hamer to lay a thick one into Ryan Kent in the first minute and Da Costa to sprint down the line and put a cross in ala Giles style.
Oh and if Godden don’t score then he is my boo boy for the season.
Not to me though...What my wife always says to me.....
Lazy urban myth. They were a brilliant team but our squad that started the season was shocking and our team was probably the slowest I've ever seen.All these people ripping the OP. Who remembers us getting beat by Benfica pre season at HR. Totally fucked our season
I remember that match clearly. What it did was totally fuck my illusions. It was a much hyped team that we somehow expected to do well. Benfica were not just a better team, they were better in every aspect. Skill,tactics, pace, professionalism. The continental game was far more advanced.All these people ripping the OP.

If my memory serves me correct an 8-1 defeat and could have been more, and I’m sure we scored first, not only a rude awakening but revealing the dinosaur tactics of an ageing manager in Ron Atkinson.I remember that match clearly.

A rude awakening.
It was 7-2 and we were 1-0 & 2-1 up!If my memory serves me correct an 8-1 defeat and could have been more, and I’m sure we scored first, not only a rude awakening but revealing the dinosaur tactics of an ageing manager in Ron Atkinson.
Your memory serves you wrong, it was 7-2. We were trying a new formation which obviously didn't work, we then scrapped it after working on it all pre-season and lost the opening game 3-0 at home to Forest.If my memory serves me correct an 8-1 defeat and could have been more, and I’m sure we scored first, not only a rude awakening but revealing the dinosaur tactics of an ageing manager in Ron Atkinson.
Lazy Urban Myth, so you're saying it didn't happen as we saw it?Lazy urban myth. They were a brilliant team but our squad that started the season was shocking and our team was probably the slowest I've ever seen.
The defence at the start of the season was Oggy (39) - Borrows (36), Daish (28), Williams (22), Burrows (28) with Kevin Richardson (34) and McAllister (32) in front of them. A man with a wooden leg and a stone in his shoe, who'd eaten some bad ham, could outpace them.
In attack, Salako's knees were done, Eoin Jess had flopped and Ndlovu couldn't reach the heights of previous seasons. It wasn't until November when Atkinson was moved upstairs and Huckerby came in to put some pace in the team that things started to improve. We won 4 games in a row in December and were 12th at the turn of the year. That defence was then strengthened with the signing of Gary Breen in January but our team was still not scoring enough goals as the threat was all from the strikers and no-where else on the pitch, so we tailed off again. Too many draws in games we should have won that season.
Remember that Forrest game Steve stone & brian Roy lolYour memory serves you wrong, it was 7-2. We were trying a new formation which obviously didn't work, we then scrapped it after working on it all pre-season and lost the opening game 3-0 at home to Forest.

I'm sure the mighty Kevin Campbell scored a hattrick in that game
