Five takeaways from Vancouver's preseason training camp in Wales

VANCOUVER, BC – That’s a wrap.

The ‘Caps have returned home after a 10-day camp in Wales that saw them fall 1-0 to Cardiff City FC U-23s before defeating Oxford United U-23s and Bristol City FC U-23s both by a score of 4-0.

Here are five of my thoughts from the camp:

BUILDING CHEMISTRY

This trip was about two things: building fitness and building chemistry.

And, in that regard, it served its purpose.

Interestingly, Whitecaps FC head coach Carl Robinson fielded an identical starting lineup in each of the three matches in Wales – not something you often see this early in camp.
