Are City at their usual Cornish haunt?

[Former Labour leader]

No need for sarcasm boys. Just a genuine comment on preseason. I am well aware we went to Cornwall in our promotion year, but the club has admitted it was 6 months behind the loop in preparing for life in the Prem. Not unreasonable then to ask if they got their preseason right given the results that followed.

Wasn't trying to be sarcy, JC; Warnock has taken all his teams to Cornwall with varying after effects, so I think it's difficult to see if it was a specific error in preparation.

I just don't see how the opposition or results of pre season can ever be a guide to how the season will start. Over the years we have had pretty much every outcome possible.

The only preparation is in fitness. The glorified training matches that some of the big clubs try and hype are merely a part of that.

Fitness and bonding are the key.
However a preseason of good rather than bad results must boost confidence.
