Burton and Jones
Speaking after the first of City's pre season and what was the first match that Dave Jones has managed for the club the new boss was not getting too carried away with the result.

"The lads did quite well, but you can't take too much notice of pre-season friendlies," said Jones.

"During my time as a manager I've won all of them and had a bad start to the season, and I've lost all of them and had a great start.

"This was part of a fitness regime. The priority is to get the boys fit and this was a good work-out for us. I'd be a lot happier if we had got three points.

"I wasn't really looking for how well people played. This was a fitness session. Don't forget the players have only been back two and a half weeks.

City move onto Scotland with three games starting tonight at Hamilton before two home games against Udinese and WBA.

Dave Jones is aiming to be firing on all cylinders on August 6th when City open the season at Ipswich.

"We've got three games in Scotland and in each game we will try and develop a pattern of play," he continued.

"I don't want the players sharp and flying now. I want them sharp and flying on August 6. The pre-season is all about getting a base right for what is going to be a long campaign."
