Pre Season X 2 14:24 - Aug 6 with 2002 views | chrismakin | Realistically our pre season starts Monday doesn't it 99% of the transfers done by that point, everyone training. Then 4/5 weeks of training/games in between Well aware our season starts tomorrow, but with the squad overall and getting it together, we will now go through the gel stage. Hopefully with the on paper fixtures looking kind to us, we can get a few wins along the way before we really get a strong hold on things. | |

Pre Season X 2 on 15:18 - Aug 6 with 1851 views | jas0999 | Tomorrow’s opponents have made 15 signings, so like us, they will need time to gel also. | | | |
Pre Season X 2 on 15:41 - Aug 6 with 1827 views | Marshalls_Mullet | Realistically, tomorrow marks the day that the 'free passes' end. Business starts tomorrow, no more free passes. | |

Pre Season X 2 on 15:43 - Aug 6 with 1821 views | J2BLUE | Not at all. First game very winnable with the obvious caveats that it won't be easy or a walkover. It might take some time to get to 100% but there's so much talent we should be starting fast. | |

Pre Season X 2 on 16:27 - Aug 6 with 1700 views | wkj | Do time and space operate differently where you are Frimmers? Curiously, pre-season didn't matter... but now it does... but to some arbitrary timeline. I'm trying to understand, honestly. | |

Exactly, there are many clubs in the same position, it'll be interesting to look at the table differences over the first couple months and xmas time etc | |

Of course, and Im not saying it doesn't count, of course it all does. Im talking in practical terms in regardes to the gelling period and realistically how long it takes most clubs to go through that stage before it all settles down | |

It's not pre season #2 by any stretch of the imagination. It's the opposite. | |

Pre Season X 2 on 20:45 - Aug 11 with 1422 views | chrismakin | Was interesting to hear PC say something along the lines of playing catch up from pre season. I know we had 1 game cancelled.. were there anymore we had planned does anyone know that we didnt have? | |

No matter what Cook says, gelling isn't the issue - it's the basics we're failing at. Something any professional unit should be able to do. | |

“‘“It’s just us” rued Cook.” Nice to hear a bit of rueing. Very David Brent. | | | |

It wasn’t interesting it was pathetic excuse making, he got away with failing last season by blaming the players and he needs to deliver now not in three weeks time. [Post edited 28 Aug 2021 21:37]

I dunno. I'm just so effed off with it all now. I'd honestly rather be wrong, but the coaching isn't irradicating all these mistakes. It feels like groundhog day. It seems so obvious there is something lacking in the coaching. Basics. Basics. Basics. As a team we are not defending correctly. forget the centrebacks. As a team we're getting it wrong. No amount of signings or money will fix that. Its coaching. | |

You really are clutching at straws now. Just admit that as of now, today, here and now, Cook is failing. | | | |

Don't blame you Marky. It's a frustrating period. Whilst there's expectation on PC to sort the coaching side out... this is where Ashton earns his money too.. remain silent In the background signing players.. or nip it in the bud and demand some experience coaching staff. That's what I'd be doing personally. | |

Though what do you do if Cook refuses and says he trusts the team he has in place? | |
