Unfit and underprepared

.... why are some people so desperate to criticise the club in anything we do ?

Oxford and Swindon are clearly the two games there that we should have had (or similar), and would have been better prep.

still, all in the past now especially with one game under our belt.

I personally have criticised football strategy under the trust, the allocation of 6 tickets per season ticket holders for Wembley and observed that I felt we could have had a better pre season. We played our starting line up once prior to Eastleigh and I'm sure Parkinson knew what Eastleigh were going to do.. Get used to that strategy this season. A point at the Racecourse will be valued by many.
