I agree with this wholeheartedly

We usually play a couple of games against the likes of fakenham and Lowestoft then maybe a league one or champ team before finishing with some harder friendlies.

This time we have jumped in at a much higher level than normal. Whilst they are not top flight they are the equivalent of a top champ side and they are a month ahead of us in terms of preparation and they haven't been run into the ground in a week long training camp.

The time to be concerned is if we are being cut open by Hull and Peterborough in a couple of weeks time.

Hughton has now seen nearly all the players both in training and in a game. I am pretty convinced we will see two or three in and two or three out in the next week or so now.
