Pre-season games

Thudd starting against Utd U23s

 

Elder & Wilks have the club given us a update I can’t find one.
Combine that with Honeyman missing.
We will start the Championship with a weaker team than the one that finished last season.

 

Only pre- season games but I’m not impressed with what I’ve seen over the 3 games hopefully we have enough to beat a Under 23 side today.

 

I think the split squad's is a much better way, it's about getting as many mins into the full squad as possible. And more games helps that.

The gelling is done on the training ground and most the new lads have been here since the start of pre-season. On the opening day, 9 out of the 11 are likely to have been here last season too so there's not much gelling which needs to be done

 

'a under 23 side' ??? Its Man U under 23's. They could hold their own in the Championship as you well know.
Because your not impressed over three very low key friendlies, I am, I think we look decent and have some good young signings.
I'm looking forward to PNE, are you ?

 

Best to look disjointed now, that vs PNE...

 

To be honest if we're going to be **** i'd rather it be now than on the 7th august and beyond, imho i hope over the next week we bring in some experience, still think if we get one or two injuries we will struggle all I'm hoping for this season is survival , its been a strange preseason with all these split squad's, but then again its strange time's we live in.

 

We are going to Preston and I’d take a draw now.
You think we look decent I don’t but all about opinions which is a good thing on a football message board.

 

You think Grant's objective for the game is to win?

 

Take a draw?

You ever played the game?

 

I thought we were steady away at sunderland, magennis was a bit isolated , i think we need to find a position for josh Emmanuel and lewie Coyle.
Luke o'nein was very good for them in midfield and i thought jack diamond was much improved when he came on.

 

It’s always the objective of a footballer to win football matches whether that’s a kick a bout in the park with your mates or pre-season games what Grants wants from the games I’m sure will differ.

 

Fair enough... You think that'll be his first objective then?

 

Absolutely irrelevant whether I have played the game or not which I have but not professionally.
It’s like saying I can’t critique an album because I’ve not played in a band.

 

Im not here to answer your constant questions.

 

Greatest line ever on this goes to jock stein.
Down with Celtic to play a friendly against Liverpool under shankly.
Shanks gave it all the niceties good to have them down great club looking forward to the friendly and stein retorts Celtic don’t do friendlies!!
Shankly went purple!
Brilliant line that

 

WHU already know that.
Also see the jocks don't do Champions League either this season.

 

My stock reply when I don't know the answer too....

 

I could have chosen to answer your highly complex difficult question or I could have chosen not too knowing what your next stock question would have been as you are very predictable. I have enough of that from my wife and daughters.

 

Team for Man Utd u23's today

Mee (GK), Wellens, McShane, Hardley, Fernandez, Hansen, Savage, Iqbal, Hoogewerf, Emeran, Hugill
