in 92/93 we lost to Hearts then drew with Donny Rovers pre season, before winning the first 11 league games. Not much you can read into these games, there always just to give the players a run out, and you don't want them exerting themselves too much and risking injuries.
Pre-season games are fitness exercises. We were awful in the first half last night, but a little better in the second. On that performance we'll probably win the first 15 matches this season.
Did Doncaster change their team as much as we did, re subs etc, or did they just play their best 11 from the start? Anyone know??
They made a few changes. A couple enforced due to a couple of meaty challenges by Gayle. Perez looked lively for us, as did Jesus. Mitrovic looked overweight, Colback was his usual ****ty self, Anita was pants, Janmaat wasn't interested and Shelvey was spraying passes. I thought Thauvin did well when he came on.
Pre-season. They probably didn't want to get injured. I was impressed with Sterry at LB as well. He was solid. Gouffran actually looked like a player rather than a useless lump. Best I have seen him play since his first 6 months here.
