I'm kinda certain that there's some middle ground here. [Post edited 15 Jul 2019 8:39]

Posters are putting too much on these friendlies, our season's destiny isn't based on the outcome of meaningless fixtures in July. I'm sure Dusseldorf fans aren't predicting they're going to win the Bundesliga title after beating a League One side 4-1 inside 45 minutes either! | |

It was me, yes. My Braintree comments were based around the lack of pre match organisation - Braintree had their lads broken down into groups working on their specific match areas whilst Town just had the everyone together milling around. All that was missing for the full Sunday morning experience was some pre match ciggies and one of the younger lads spewing at the side of the pitch. My other comments were based around the visual evidence that some senior pro's weren't buying into the PH philosophy. Plenty of dropped shoulders, plenty of sideways glances to each other on the team talk and arms around shoulders when a senior player was asked to play in a position that he'd not played before. The whole thing was all wrong. From the twitter stuff, it looks to me that the team bonding stuff is working and it's evident from the end of last season and beyond that the team have bought into PL. | |

Plus, quick judgement or not, you were right at the end of the day. Unfortunately. | |

A good fulsome reply, thanks. And you were proven right of course. | |

The overconfidence that's been on here is likely to come back and bite us on the arse. But on the flipside, the reaction to losing in an early pre-season friendly to a team 2 levels above us was a bit bizarre. | |

We were much better than them, should have comfortably won. Issues for me from yesterday is when a side goes at us we concede easily, and when we dominate and create we still don't score. Even though it is only pre season they are habits we desperately need to break in the next few weeks | |

Can't believe people are unhappy about losing to them. They managed to get a win against Dortmund and a draw against Bayern. It's absolutely no shame to lose to them. [Post edited 15 Jul 2019 10:54]

I'm less concerned about that than I am the inability to score past the German 3rd division outfit who are probably a lot closer to our level... | |

I think it's pretty obvious what you're going to be clinging on to these next few weeks/months. | |

Sadly, I fear we're going to be seeing disappointing results that actually count for something next month. I'd REALLY love to be wrong though. | |

It's like a couple of seasons ago when we got thumped 6-1 by a Charlton side a full division below us. If I remember we went on to get absolutely destroyed by 6+ goals in every single league match by better teams than Charlton, so maybe you do have a poi... oh no hang on | |

In 45 minutes. When we didn't play our strongest team. In a friendly. | | | |
