So we are 3-0 up playing 4-3-3 and Beale continues with a 4-3-3 with the three in midfield consisting of a centre back, an U.23 with no previous 1st team appearances and a play-maker (Dozzell)
Beale then says in his post match interview that we should have closed the game out at 3-0 up.
Correct me if I am wrong, but is that not the time that you change to 4-4-2 at best, or better still 4-5-1 ? [Post edited 10 Jul 2022 20:42]

I get what you are saying, but surely the whole point of these games is to blood players and see how they get on in real match situations | | | |

Pre season is all about minutes into legs.
Ironically the season we were promoted under Warnock we were beaten 2-1 by Crawley if I remember rightly.
I wouldn’t read too much into it. |  | | |

I agree, and I will let him off this time because he is the star of 'Inside Training' and his backroom staff are a bunch of extras but if it happens in the season you don't say 'we should have closed the game out' if you have got 4 at the back and three make-weights in midfield | | | |

Spot on. As Beale himself said in the post-match interview on the offy, he wouldn't have learned much about the players had it remained 3-0 and ended a comfortable win. As you say, game time into the legs. |  |

You’d be better off letting him off until Blackburn in my opinion mate otherwise your season is going to be unnecessarily fraught! [Post edited 10 Jul 2022 22:48]

I remember one summer Leyton Orient beat Newcastle 6-1 in a friendly. The pre-Saudified Magpies went on to win the Championship with 102 points. Orient just survived relegation from League 1 by a point. |  | | |

Let's also not forget the glorious high summer afternoon in Shepherd's Bush when former Walton Casuals goal machine Leroy Griffiths helped us to a 3-1 doing over of a Chelsea including Desailly, Zola, Lampard and a line-up of similar cnts.
It Was What It Was for Hasselbaink and friends.
I think we came 8th in League One that year, right?
Still, brilliant day. |  | | |

Summer 2005. In pre-season QPR win one of the most prestigious trophies in European Football, La
Copa Ibiza. By rights nailed on for promotion. Final position in Championship: 21st. | | | |

Also we smashed Man U and Leicester last season, I'm still fuming we didn't come 5th in the Prem. |  |

Agree - the aim wasn't to beat Crawley, otherwise you don't use 11 subs and have a double training session 24 hours previous in seering heat! | | | |

Similarly done Fulham about five years later (Israeli striker on loan from Chelsea?) and spent the remaining season fighting off relegation. | | | |

That game was quite a big part of why it went so badly because Simon Walton, who along with Camp we'd just spent our whole meagre summer budget on, broke his leg. |  | | |
