McClaren will probably be trying out various things in these games, if we don't look comfortable playing possession football against the likes of Gateshead then it's probably not worth implementing it during actual league games. I know these things take time of course, you can't expect a team to immediately be comfortable playing a new style (for many/most of our players) but I'd imagine you can get a pretty good idea quickly about who is and is not going to be able to play that way.
