The preseason schedule has now been disclosed.
I think it’s always better to play lower English league clubs rather than going abroad. Playing English style football is always the best option. Playing foreign clubs doesn’t provide any benefit unless you are Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, etc.
In my opinion you really should be beating these lower league clubs by at least two goals. I know they are preseason and have no impact on the Championship but the players need to feel good about how they are playing. Starting how you mean to carry on is important. I think if you look at previous preseason results, they are a very good indicator of how the season is going to pan out. Lame 1-1, 2-2 results are not what you want.
I question a final match against Stoke City because lest face it they’re probably going to give us a pasting. A good win just before the season starts would be ideal.

Nuff said about the pretty much expected result at Deepdale.

Ipswich are in town today and what are we expecting from this one?

Well here are the current last 5 HOME vs AWAY outcomes -

RAMS (DWDLW) vs Ipswich (WLLLD)

I can see this heading for a draw. Although Ipswich have a pretty poor away record, as we do, I think the way we are playing at the moment, Ipswich will get all the chances they need to score. We have a very poor defense and everyone knows it. The stats suggest we’re in with a chance of a win but if 4 out of 10 RAMS players are actually up for it again, then we could easily lose.
As a die hard RAMS fan, I pray we stuff ‘em 6-0 and everyone can tell me I don’t know what I’m on about but, something tells me it’s going to be 1-1.
Please prove me wrong guys.
