According to today's HDM it is possible we might be having only two pre-season friendlies - Doncaster and Rovers.
It was only a few years ago that a former coach said that we were going into the season "undercooked" having played only two friendlies.
Personally I think that while four is too many I don't think two is enough. Three is about right - and none of them should be against Rovers. That fixture appears to be played for just commercial considerations and in the past has led to lengthy injury absences.

The undercooked statement had nothing to do with how many games we played pre-season but the fact that the coach allowed too many players so much time off when they should have been back at the club training, imo.
