rovers pre season

[Howie5o]

fair enough, but i disagree. during england`s friendlies in the run up to the world cup we showed defensive frailties, and that showed up as our problem in the tournament itself..

Little bit different, the England players didn't need any fitness training as they had just finished the season. So they were already up to speed and match fit. Whereas pre-season the players have not played competitive football for a couple of months and need to get back into the swing of things.

You could look at it a different way. Considering we went down twice to Stanley, even though it was only a friendly, the players showed commitment in getting two equalizers. I guess this means if we destroy Bradford on Saturday that we're going to finish top of the league?[/quote]

i`m just of the opinion that good pre season form can be carried into the seaso

i`m just of the opinion that good pre season form can be carried into the season, and so can bad..

I don't disagree, obviously winning games breeds confidence and self belief and it's never good to lose games. But the main thing of pre-season is blowing away the cobwebs, getting the players ready for a long hard season and integrating the new arrivals to the Rovers ethos.

As long as we ain't getting smashed out of the park in every friendly then I would not worry.

Is it a optical illusion or does Dunn look a lot slimmer than last season so far pre season ???
Looks like he was told to improve his fitness before resigning

He was one of the sharpest people on the pitch he could be a very key player this season if used correctly.
Can he do 90 minutes hell no I think he would struggle to do 75 however as an impact sub or a change to 4-4-2 he will fit the bill nicely.

That cup of yours is definitely half empty, you're about as much fun as a dose of the clap. Cheer up, the sun is shining, the economy is doing well, Rovers are unbeaten in pre-season and England are still on top of the Commonwealth Games Medal Table.
