What are you all talking about?
Pre-season is no indication of how any team will do when the season starts.
Nobody plays full out pre-season, nobody tackles hard pre-season, nobody wants to get injured to score a goal pre-season, nobody wants to get injured trying to stop a goal pre-season.
All these criticisms and praise of individuals mean nothing.
There is no point in debating how we will do until we get into the league games. Pre-season gives us no indication as to how we will cope with the stresses and strains of the full season. It is merely an exercise to get the players up to speed in order to start the league in the right frame of mind.
Management have done well to get the players fit, to avoid player injuries and to have instilled some tactical awareness into the new players, but the season doesn't start until next week, and even then there will be some strange results, and it will take a while for the teams to settle down into their resultant positions in the league.
We will have some idea how we are going to be doing after 10-15 games, and even then there will be no guarantee that the team will continue to remain there for the rest of the season.
Current praise or criticism of our players will have no affect as to where that will be for us, it will be up to the manager, and his staff, to instill his thoughts on how he wants the game to be played, and it will be his responsibility to blend the players into a team that can do it for him, but it will be the journey that will be of interest to us supporters, with all its ups and downs still to come, with cheers and tears, and laughter and embarrassment, and joy and frustration, and we know that it all starts next week, not yesterday.
Lets all get together to give our team the best send off for the start of the season next week and see where that takes us. You never know what we will be in for.
Come on you Greens.
