pre-season games big thumbs down

[rmj1982]

i dont believe these are the right sort of games to be playing pre-season it was ok the play your bodmins tavistock and crawleys last season, but we are stepping up a gear this year, our defence is hardly going to be tested i would like to have seen us playing at least a couple of championship sides or maybe a top flight side from europe, please dont snap its my view and i know its all about fitness.

We said that last year...relax

Kind of agree now we're Premier was hoping that pre season would be more exciting

I will be going to Cornwall tho

Anyone else?

Think the early ones are all about fitness so not too bothered. As there are a few more to be announced, would think we may actually get someone decent at Loftus Road this time. Hope so, anyway.

Could have a party atmosphere to put us in a good mood for the start of the season.

There you go, you said it yourself, it's all about getting fitness levels up, nothing more, nothing less, no matter who we play, or where we play them.

Pre-season friendlies are just that, friendlies that just happen to benefit both teams participating.

Hold on a minute, who says were not playing the two fixtures in Italy against two teams from Serie A?

[The Merry Ploughboy]

What's with the pointless whinging?

[californiahoop]

Reserve judgement until we see how the fitness levels are after the first month, fitness levels, not results.

What's with the pointless whinging?

Have to agree with you for the 1st time.

First comment , nails it!

[Mellowhoop]

Some people on this board!!!!! Wind up merchants I think!!!!

[QPR1234]

getting confidence is paramount walking into this season. if we play a major cup/tourney and lose we will go into league not confident.

A right result for me as I live in The 'Muff

I guess we'd all like some of what you refer to as top class opposition! You've said it already, it's all about fitness levels and also the team bonding - I won't question Neil, he's done the west country tour for many a year now, the idea is to enjoy the mini-tour, without to much pressure on the squad.... Lets face it, what happened this season ain't gonna happen for a long long time.... and besides, it's a smashing little break for the QPR fans, very affordable match prices and B&B's..... I'd say, don't worry to much, just enjoy The R's being Champions for the time being .

agree joe but we need to test our defence against better teams thats all im worried about, but hopefully by the time the big kick off comes we will have a better class of player at the back.
