I don't see how anyone can make judgements about players and the team in pre-season. Most players will not fully exert themselves until the actual competitive matches kick into place. If a team under-performes in pre-season hopefully it rules out complacency when it really matters.
Probably a three-match ban which will start at the Walsall game. Seem to remember Wayne Rooney's inconspicuous challenge against a Porto defender which resulted in him missing the start of the season due to being red-carded in the pre-season game.
