kingcarr21 Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 Its surely better to play against teams lower than you to get strikers scoring goals and players building match fitness. You surely wont lose to them. Unless you're Burnley who go to Accrington and lose 4-2 with Accrington being 3-0 up after 10 minutes
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 Well, if I believe Dyche, and I do, then Accrington Stanley are the market leaders
Dan Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 Await the usual over-reactions if we lose. Performance more important than result although ultimately it's a fitness builder. Heading up a bit later. Looking forward to it. New ground for me.
Bettsj2 Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ylEmjOq7qE get this started at the game ... Unfortunately being in the Philippines I can't make it Mabuhay!
Guest MattP Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 So? It doesn't matter who we play. It's about getting back to match fitness and not picking up injuries, the opponent and result is irrelevant. Exactly these, pre season friendlies mean absolutely nothing.
NewburyFox Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 So? It doesn't matter who we play. It's about getting back to match fitness and not picking up injuries, the opponent and result is irrelevant. I don't care about the first few games but I am wondering why we've not got a bigger game to end with, just so we have some similar opposition to the quality we will face this season. Instead we will be ending with two shit Championship teams then heading straight into a tough Premier League season.
LCFC FOX Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 Its not to the same tune as yours... its to the tune of the Wasilewski song... I know but the words don't sound right imo
possiblygeorge Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 Yup.... No visual stream being set up by either clubs by chance is there?
thybluefox Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 I don't care about the first few games but I am wondering why we've not got a bigger game to end with, just so we have some similar opposition to the quality we will face this season. Instead we will be ending with two shit Championship teams then heading straight into a tough Premier League season. , I'm willing to bet that the quality of preseason opposition has ZERO impact on how a team performs the following season. It's not like the vast majority of our squad haven't found out how tough this league is already.
foxfanazer Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 Pretty sure we had a low key pre season before our championship winning season. Wouldn't read too much into it at all. So long as the players gain fitness and come through without injury I'll be happy
thybluefox Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 And I'm very happy our side aren't on one of these extended preseason tours of America or Australia like some are, instead they're at home and able to fully prepare for August 8th.
EarlBeaumont Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 Is there any kind of streaming link for a guy across the channel ? Can't find any ...
chicagofox Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 I don't think we're going to learn anything tonight in terms of tactics, formation, style of play. This is simply a fitness exercise.
possiblygeorge Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 Is there any kind of streaming link for a guy across the channel ? Can't find any ... I've found this, but not sure if the game is actually being televised? Can someone please confirm. STREAM
Guest Col city fan Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 No visual stream being set up by either clubs by chance is there? Sorry mate I don't know..
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 I don't think we're going to learn anything tonight in terms of tactics, formation, style of play. This is simply a fitness exercise.Yep I would imagine that's right I'm sure we will have some new signings soon to look forward to seeing if big Claudio pulls some rabbits out of the bag
benpicko Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 Pretty sure we had a low key pre season before our championship winning season. Wouldn't read too much into it at all. So long as the players gain fitness and come through without injury I'll be happy Didn't we play Monaco then?
kingfox Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 If Okazaki doesn't score more than five then we should sell him.
Vossen Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 Can someone put Radio Leicester on Ustream, so those of us abroad can listen ???
FireFox Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 Can someone put Radio Leicester on Ustream, so those of us abroad can listen ??? I could listen yesterday? Because it is a friendly I don't think they restrict who can listen. Works for me right now too (and they happen to be talking about the game right now! haha) http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_radio_leicester
Jordan Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 I don't care about the first few games but I am wondering why we've not got a bigger game to end with, just so we have some similar opposition to the quality we will face this season. Instead we will be ending with two shit Championship teams then heading straight into a tough Premier League season.Then that should give us a good idea of how we'll fare against Sunderland to start the season.
Bert Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 Exactly these, pre season friendlies mean absolutely nothing.Remember when Newcastle got pasted (by Orient???) something daft like 6-0? Then went on to win the league?
