Fixture changes already!

:lol:

 

Mind you, if Koeman takes the preliminary rounds seriously we've a better chance of a win against Southampton.

 

Would help to have a striker and a centre back and a left sided attacking midfielder in place by then mind...

In the times when we had competitive games before the season started, we were flying come the first games of the season. I think the sharpness they'd gain would outweigh any fatigue, particularly that early in the season.

There's an argument for treating the Preliminary rounds of the Europa as a friendly competition, so you get match fitness asap. If you get knocked out, no real loss, if you progress don't you get an opportunity to revise your squad list?

It's competitive football, however you look at it. There'll be an argument for me turning you upside down and treating your head as a speed ball if you continue this line of argument.

I'm agreeing with you, Captain Cocksnot.

There's a good chance the Mackem away game will be moved to the Sunday.

Nah that'll affect our 3rd round League cup defeat on the 26th...

What a good point from a 40 year old gentleman. We played competitive games in the far east in 96, then hammered in that pathetic 4-0 defeat at Wembley in that glorified friendly, the season starts and we win 7 out of the first 8.

Don't think there's much rhyme or reason to a competitive pre season....the first season in the intertoto we were flying...the season we had Partizan in the champs league we got lost our first three league games, were knocked out in the second leg by the serbs and Sir Bob was sacked :cuppa:

I can't see a win at all in the first 4 games.

I agree, hoping to pick up draws against Southampton and Swansea is a depressing state of affairs, but it's where we are these days.
