Pre-season games should be kept to a minimum imo.

Injuries usually wipe out a few of the players to be able to contribute to the opening games of the seasons and, therefore, counter productive to a good start.


Plus, too many games means that players have run out of steam by the time the season starts.


Isn't that what we did last season?

Other than getting a bit of fitness most pre season games are pointless anyway.

I seriously doubt they would even bring half that number, we are a bottom half of League Two team. We didn't get much more than 1,500 when we played them in the Cham,pionshiop (yes I know the away end was full).


Sheff U brought over 2k so why wouldnt Forest?

Quoted from LondonMariner43
The purpose of pre season friendlies is to prepare the players for the season, not to have glamour games.  If anything, playing a top side is not the right preparation as players may raise their game for an occasion.  We want players who give 100% against Scarborough and Donny.




How very dare you have such a sensible approach to what are basically training and fitness exercises.

Bearing in mind all the problems with t'Blades game, I wonder if we are deliberately avoiding friendlies where we would no doubt need to pay towards a hefty police presence?

Low key games against higher division opposition might be best for the players, if not for the fans. I've seen us get comprehensively outplayed by higher division clubs in friendlies a little too often in recent seasons to be too bothered one way or another.

Chances are we would only play the reserves/yoof of a larger Championship/smaller Prem club in any case.

As long as the team is fit and understands its roles and is the best prepared it can be, you mean 😊
