bcfctim Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Keith Bert said in his interview they'll be no home friendly this time but I'm sure we'll get something sorted out for that weekend, maybe away to a championship side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Can't say I am worried. We had big games last season and had a dreadful start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Reid Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Brighton are free that weekend and they have Southampton just 3 days earlier. Fulham too. Leeds are but I can't imagine see us going up there. They're the only ones that are free according to their fixtures lists. Could end up with a free weekend.

WTFiGO!?! Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 We played Everton and Liverpool before being relegated in 98/99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 i didn't think it would be long for this kind of thread to appear, Pre-season is about getting match fit only, results and quaility of oppisition do not matter one jot, we could beat real madrid man u and Barca in a pre-season and still get relegated, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS15_RED Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 We played Everton and Liverpool before being relegated in 98/99. No we didn't, we played them the year before that, which was a promotion season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourMyMartinKuhl Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 All these players have expiriance of this league and the bigger grounds so to say our friendlies will leave them shell shocked is a stupid statement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Pre-season friendlies are just that, a kickabout. A chance to play against other players they don't know. Cotterill and his staff can divide the team up as much as he likes at Failand but they all know each other. Ok we have from new players to integrate but against Portishead, Weston etc they can practice playing as a team against opposition they have superior ability to. They can play a match with unknown factors without really having to bust a gut to do so. It's preparation yes, and fantastic for Portishead etc but it's not anything more than a training game really. I guess I'm not really interested in seeing the third string team of someone 'big' down here. Let's prepare steadily for the season and draw the big names in the cup competitions and give them a proper game instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westonred Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Didn't Newcastle lose a friendly 6 1 at Orient the year Newcastle got promoted ? So friendlies are just a kick about and nothing to get worried about The Season Starts on the 1st day of the season not before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 No we didn't, we played them the year before that, which was a promotion season.My mistake! We played Borussia Monchenglaphac (spl?) In the Summer of 98. My point being: is there any evidence-based correlation between pre-season schedule and season outcome? I suspect not.
