Richard Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Results aren't important in terms of a yardstick for how the team will do in the league but they are important for fans excitement levels. On another point is it me or are we playing more friendlies this year than ever before? I can't remember us ever having played as many as we are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Definitely Richard! I'm sure we normally play 1 a week, with an occasional 2-game week. Maybe it's a more intense pre-season schedule, which has its risks (injuries) but ultimately gets you ready for the season a lot quicker. Maybe this, along with the fact that we brought in our new players early, will mean we kick off the season better than other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Avenue Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I think with our first 3 PL games being so tough, Lambert has stepped up pre-season a bit this year, also as we had many new players to bed in we need the extra run outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 We didn't know the fixtures when we planned our preseason. I think it's the second point, we have a lot of new players and wanted more games to get them used to the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
