I don't like to pin too much on individual players, but if we can keep Ben Goodliffe and Craig Eastmond on the pitch for most of the season, we won't lose many games. If Harry Smith and Lee Angol stay fit, they could get 20 goals between them.

I agree results in preseason are unimportant, but performances perhaps are a bit more so, in creating the feeling of excitement that sells season tickets
What evidence do you have Woking raised their game?

By watching the game last night. It was quite obvious it meant more to them than it did to us. I'm sure if we played away against a historical local rival who were in the division above but we were above them for a long period of time, we'd be the same.

I predicted Andy K would come back with some gripe or other on my last post he never fails. I have listened to Matt Gray's interview on last night. He too appears to be putting forward optimism into future signings and hoping that two of our centre backs get fit to start the season.

Optimism very much lifted with the signing of Omari Patrick. Some player he is

Is it just the two different accounts you have or do you have more?

Oh Andyk I have nearly as many as you have fingers. I noticed several seasons ago whenever I posted under brian54 you came back with some remark or other while other posters were not treated in the same way suggesting you had a problem. I tired of this so set up some other accounts posted under them to test my theory. You made no attempt to respond proving my feeling you for some reason or other have a need to challenge brian54. I really will try just to ignore you if you agree to ignore my posts

Just seen Matts interview, looked and sounded not happy with that performance at all. Yes we do have players out at the moment, but not to have one shot at goal is poor. Let’s just hope we are ready for the 5th of August. ⚽️⚽️⚽️

I really will try just to ignore you if you agree to ignore my posts So you have more than two accounts. How utterly disingenuous. I challenge any account I feel deserves a challenge. At least I do it under my own name and my one account. So instead of challenging one account, I'm challenging multiple ones. Because you're saying the same things, and achieving nothing by doing so. I treat you exactly the same way I treat any other poster. If you feel that I'm picking on you that you need multiple accounts (my guess is 5 or 6 going on what you've said) then feel free to report me to any other admin. But I think posting under different names, pretending to be different people, is insulting to other users.

This is clearly going to be a work in progress once he season starts. So far we have not been anywhere near the level you need to be to compete in league 2. Apart from gaining fitness we are not really going to get anywhere until something like the first choice 11 play in their favoured positions. Which rarely happens until the last PSF. I thought you'd have seen enough football to know you can't judge progress in a league based on pre-season friendlies? Can't remember which season it was, but I'm sure there was one where we won all our PSF at a canter and either ended up being relegated or having a poor season. You are right I have seen a lot of football and many pre-seasons including the one you mention. In pre-season you are looking for fitness, partnerships and trying different patterns of play, and as you say put it all together in your last PSF. With one game to go I don't think we are anywhere near to doing that, I would not be surprised if Matt tries to get a PSF in next week behind closed doors. This does not mean we will be relegated only that the cake may not be ready for the first game of the season. Even sides that go on to win titles can start slowly, that's why having a bet on the opening day or 2 often catches the bookies out.
