Bit concerning we draw at Melksham and then lose 3-0 to a NL side. I know they are just friendlies but surely we should be getting better results than this?

I get that but there are a lot of key first team players that haven’t featured yet, hence the relatively youthful sides. For example, Coutts, Finley, Grant, Baldwin, Jaakkola, Nicholson, Clarke, Rodman, Spence and Thomas haven’t featured in the friendlies so far. Fitness is the key thing at this stage.

Read nothing into Pre season games. If they have been worked hard during training, they won’t play well on the Saturday! As the intensity of the training decreases, we will hopefully see better performances .
That’s one of the reasons why you can’t read anything into early Pre season games.

Barton now saying that he wouldn't have signed a single one of the players in this friendly squad for Fleetwood and that there were things going on even further back behind the scenes at Bisham that he didn't know about. He's now realised that this isn't actually his squad of players and he hasn't been in charge of recruitment since the end of last season at all.
According to Frost he's demanding that Wael buys him one of those big foam fingers so from now on he can make it clear whose fault any other losses are.

I know this is said in jest but just in case anyone actually believes it - it is a complete fabrication…

None of those midfielders will be first team players, I don’t read anything into this

Barton out, bring someone who actually wins pre season games like Paul Buckle.

Well if fitness is the key point, why are none of our first team players playing to gain match fitness?

Well if fitness is the key point, why are none of our first team players playing to gain match fitness? I think it’s just about easing them in, they’re obviously doing a lot of hard work on the grass. We picked up a lot of injuries towards the end of last season and I think some are still recovering. Annsi’s still on holiday and it must have been deemed too early for the three just signed to play a part. I think we’ll see more of the players I mentioned involved in the Oxford and Plymouth games when the level of the games are taken up a notch.

None of those midfielders will be first team players, I don’t read anything into this Westbrook will be a well paid squad member in L2 if he doesn't feature in the starting 11? The squad was all 1st team/Development Squad players, who you'd would have thought should hold their own against a National League side, I assume JB thought that as well or he would surely have sent a stronger squad.

Not sure why get so worked up about these friendlies. I do think they hold more relevance the closer the seasons get though, especially the last one as they tend to be against better opposition and usually want to play a team close to the one that will start the first game of the season.
