Its omnious that the last few seasons we've had a good league start, we've been pretty good in pre season.
This year we've been shite, and it reminds me to much of Rafas last season in charge. I E losing 3-0 to Espanyol, and fielding make shift 11s every game.
3 goals conceded in average after 4 pre season friendlies is just not good enough.
I just hope we can get two good results and play some decent footy in our last two games, or else I think we very well can start quite poorly.
Watching Utd play pretty good football in the States doesnt help either.
Its not knee jerk, Im just getting a bit concerned.
[/quote]I am not concerned with the result tonight as there was one (Carroll) in the starting line up who will be a regular starter for us next season. Along with Kelly and Kuyt these are the only players I would expect to see regularly get first team action in the months ahead.
As has already been pointed out though I am concerned that there seems to be little in the way of continuity in preparing for the season ahead and these pre season games don't seem to be used as an opportunity for new team mates to gel and establish a rapport with each other.
That said I would bet on Kenny to have more of an idea of what he is doing that I would, that is if all these friendlies are of his doing.
