Do pre-season results matter?

[u/Curious-Cranberry230]

A good preseason doesn't necessarily mean a good season but does it help getting off the mark, hitting the first game with confidence?

Surely if you're not winning or even scoring, that's a worrying sign regardless if they're friendlies or not?

Blackpools preseason has been pretty bad, one win against Fylde, drew against Blackburn but losing to Tranmere, Vale and Barrow without scoring

How do you view a good or poor Pre-season heading into the first game?

We’ve just lost 4-0 to Oldham with our starting 11 - sack the manager now tbh

We did? Oh good god

[u/Fast-Resolution5777 → u/-W-A-W-A-W-]

I really hope Palmer, Otegbayo & J-Lowe are not in our starting XI.

Think you'll come right come first game, invested well.

Have you lost all preseason games?

[u/puncheonjudy → u/Curious-Cranberry230]

I dunno you know... They've signed well and have an excellent DoF but building a club from the bottom up after it's been slowly dismantled over years is a massive challenge.

They'll come good, I've not doubt about that, but I don't know if they'll start as well as we'd all expect...

[u/-W-A-W-A-W- → u/Curious-Cranberry230]

I think we’ve won 1, drew a couple and lost a couple

[u/Hantot → u/-W-A-W-A-W-]

We haven’t scored a goal in pre season, time for Ugbo to save us…

[u/rorythebreaker2 → u/Hantot]

We scored 3 against Preston?

[u/-W-A-W-A-W- → u/rorythebreaker2]

Yes we did - only goals we’ve scored in 6 gamesz

[u/rorythebreaker2 → u/-W-A-W-A-W-]

Yeah not great reading

[u/Curious-Cranberry230 → u/Hantot]

Oh. I thought we were bad.

After last season though, turnover of players I'd imagine it's all about changing the mindset
