Reekie_Red Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Using bloo's analogy, I'm assuming that Man Utd was the preverbial marathon. I wouldn't expect us to win that with no preparation. But sticking with yer analogy, surely Peterhead should be classed as a one-lap jog around the park. We clearly failed to do that! 4-0?? That's a shocking result for any SPL club, nevermind one that's gunning for a top-four position this term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucky_loon Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Confidence. As alluded to by Kowalski further up. Pre-season really starts here. Starting off with tough games Man Utd, Dundee wasn't a particularly good idea. Early games should be solely about building up fitness and confidence. Cliche of the day #1: You don't begin your training for a marathon by running a marathon. You serious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bloo Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 You serious? Yes, we wouldn't ordinarily play a full-time team in our second pre-season game. Calderwood said this himself - the original plan was for AFC to go and play some bounce games in Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmo Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 We won something? Suddenly 1 goal in four games is 6 goals in five games? That sounds a lot better on paper I must say, We're gonna win the league and all that mad celebrations and predictions people make based on pre-season nothing games.
