Are we hopeful of a stream??
Haha, meltdown on the way.
ps it's just a friendly.
yes its only a friendly but it's one of, if not the, last friendly we are playing before the season starts and that is most of our first team.
We are awful, we really really are
The result is meaningless...

The result is meaningless...
What about the performance. Is that meaningless. Were the last 10 league games meaningless? We really are a poor outfit and getting worse.
Sadly in a way yes they were, the players knew they were safe. Not really the right mindset but happens to half a dozen PL clubs every season. Come Saturday week they'll be fine.
The result is meaningless...
Im sure we had a pretty poor pre-season when Clarke finished 8th, or is memory not serving me correctly?
so you honestly aren't bothered that most of our first team players are losing 2-0 against a conference side? surely you would have expected us to win this game, wins makes confident players
Pre-Season results have zero influence on the upcoming season. That's factual from history applicable to all sides. The commotion that will follow this result will be an embarrassment and an excuse to Pulls bash.Surely the performance dictates whether he gets bashed or not?

It's not even that bad on here, twitter is absolutely brilliant to read, calling for Pulis' resignation on the back of a preseason friendly, seriously, grown men tweeting the club.Haha I know, but then twitter is mostly useless ramblings anyway at the end of the day. 12 days is when it matters, not now.
Naturally because he's solely to blame and the players have zero accountability as per norm.He picks the side and sets the formation and shape. This and Plymouth would have been set out as games we would win to build confidence. Anyone who says they are meaningless is naive. They are not season defining, but on the back of such a poor finish to last season, they should be of grave concern.

the score line doesn't matter, but to say it means nothing isn't quite true, it obviously meant something to the few hundred who travelled to watch it.
653 travelled to see it. It meant something to themgood numbers for a meaningless friendly.

Christ, if you go to a preseason friendly and get upset about the result and performance then you're not cut out to be a football supporter. They're about fitness getting youngsters involved and if necessary integrating new players, our new player scored.

Embarrassing. Every time we drop our work rate and intensity the massive shortcomings are exposed. Anytime we are favourite for a match we can't take it to the opposition, as all we know is counter attack and defending for our lives. For crying out loud buy some creative players!!!!!!!And then train it out of them.
does the involvement of Saido tonight mean he's not anywhere near leaving just yet?

If anyone think's it's going to be any better in the league you are seriously deluded, we will struggle to stay up.
Why is there no comments from our manager!
Why is there no comments from our manager!He has no obligation to talk to the press post match during pre-season. Someone asked Matt Wilson at the E & S about it after Plymouth after Ben Garner spoke post match. Matt said that Pulis doesn't particularly like speaking to the press after games so he tends to put others up after friendlies as he doesn't have to do it himself.
If the result and performance are meaningless then what's the point in turning up. We should be beating these kinds of teams by default and considering this is how we played for the majority of last season you can see why people are fed up.The result is a bit meaningless but the performance certainly is not.

It's not ALL about fitness, if it was they would stay in the gym wired up to monitors. It is also about shape, formation, passing and movement etc. and you are absolutely right, what we appear to be seeing is an exact mirror of how we finished the season, on the back foot, setting up to defend with no real attacking endeavour.
If we played well, trying different things and creating a few chances, the result wouldn't matter. When you lose, creating very little and following the same blueprint that yielded no wins in the last 10, then yes, I would say it matters.
We are crying out for some creativity, but we also need a formation and set up that enables us to utilise it. No good buying attacking players if all they do is defend.

Our fans have to be the biggest bunch of moaners in the country. It's like they're sitting waiting for us to lose or some bad news so they can bombard forums and radio stations with their negativity.
Yes there are things that we could probably moan about the club, but a loss in pre season on a rainy irrelevant game isn't one in my opinion.

After the game, Dave Kemp said: "we were more positive in our attacking play tonight". Can anyone who was there confirm or deny this please? Of course, it may not take too much to be more positive than a goalless draw against Plymouth.
The main purposes of pre season is to build fitness and sharpness. Fitness might be getting there with each game they play but when will the fluency and sharpness come? Maybe things will fall into place when the season starts..........? The pattern of play seems to be continuing from the end of last season so far when we were awful?
Same players, same manager, same tactics same result!

Ffs we lost in a friendly to a non - league club and the doom and gloom starts, If we had lost to a non - league club in the FA Cup ( remember Woking ) I could understand it but the match was a friendly, we didn't lose three points and we wor knocked out of a cup, so the result meant nothing. Oh BTW it was a great weekend down there with all the Baggie fans.
Whereas in reality, anyone who thinks this result and performance will have any bearing on how we do in the league is seriously deluded...It's not to do with the result, it's to do with only one new signing, still playing players out of position and trying to get a draw, nothing will change until Pulis as gone.
Does look like it but every clubs fans are the same even those that actually win stuff regularly. I do think some take some comfort in a poor performance just to have a pop about something though, i've avoided Twitter for a long time purely for that reason.
Similarly some can't wait to jump on the "moaners" and tell everyone what a fantastic supporter they are. Sadly both sides of the arguments have their idiots.
I fail to see how these games are as you put it 'irrelevant' if thats the case why not just play against each other in training?
