Notts County manager Luke Williams has returned to training as the squad prepares for their pre-season games. These games provide an opportunity for players to build fitness and for managers to experiment with tactics and formations. They also allow new signings to integrate with their teammates and adapt to their new surroundings.
Pre-season games against higher-level opposition, such as Stoke and Forest, provide a valuable test for the team. These games will allow Williams to assess his squad’s progress and make any necessary adjustments before the start of the new season.
In an interview via the official site, Williams spoke about the club’s pre-season preparations. He discussed the importance of pre-season games against Stoke and Forest, stating that "It’s very important and all the games were planned for specific reasons.
"Both games are going to be able to make actions that are hard to defend against and too quick and too skillful. But to do the hard work and try to shut space down and be organized and concentrate, this is free really, this is just applying yourself correctly and hard work," he said.
On how he plans to integrate his philosophy onto new arrivals at this stage of the season, Williams said "It’s absolutely true that it takes the players some time to adapt to some things that I like and things that I don’t like. And that’s true of most managers. Some systems are easier, some more difficult, but for sure it took a while with a lot of the players to adapt. And then I think they adapted very well in the end."
The manager is optimistic about the potential for new arrivals to adapt quickly to his philosophy. "Now I think we have a great beginning because many players and our staff have experienced already what we’re going to try to do. So we can hopefully speed up the process. We have many coaches now because I’m hearing players talking to new players, expect this, be ready for this and so on. And this is really brilliant," he said.
Williams is excited about the potential for a successful pre-season. "I’m hoping we’re ahead of where we were last year and that we can try to speed up the process," he said.
The club’s fans are eagerly anticipating the start of the new season. They are hopeful that Williams’ philosophy and approach will bring success on the pitch.
