^Exactly my thoughts. To add to that, with the help of 6 fairy tail mages, (with the exception of Gajeel and Mira) they haven't gained too much in terms of strength. Keep in mind, Sabertooth was completely defeated. Existing injuries and members that are out for the count should hinder them, yet it didn't, and they're going to just charge in without any strategies, or even telling Fairy tail of any known abilities from the opponents. It's almost as if everything the crucifixion did (suspense build up, injuries, smarten them up? and so on) was ignored/undone.
