Absolutey. As much as it's gonna' be a killer having no Euro trips to go on (come on L'pool announce the Mainz friendly already!), thats another major thing in the optimism for a serious challenge at the least next year. More work together on the training pitch with one of the beat coaches around having a full week more often than not to prepare. Should be a smaller squad too with the same team more or less most weeks with little midweek games inbetween.
You decide on what friendlies you're going to mate? Im looking at going two as I'll be working the home games when the season properly starts. :'(
