[Archived] Pre-season Friendlies

[RibbleValleyRover]

Losing 2-1 Benni Mac got an equaliser but they scored again

[brfcshabba]

Well we have scored

2-1 to the Germans

[92er]

Not to worry. Keith Andrews will be coming in to captain the side and sort everyone out

And making loads of chances for Fowler. Frightening isn't it?

[Hughesy]

Its a friendly lads - only our second in fact. Its not about results at this stage, just tactics & mainly fitness.

Good to see Benni scoring though! MGP gone off injured is a negative to the night so far.

Doesn't sound like Winterburn has been doing much yet as we still can't defend set pieces

[Hughesy]

More interestingly - Gallagher subbed off after only 30 mins on the pitch!

Looks like our new defensive coach has still a bit to do, one goal from a corner the other one from a crossed free kick !

[gumboots]

Yes I know. I wasn't really being serious! Should have put the smily in.

I just said that!

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Sorry, missed your post, I must have Fowleritis.

FT 3-1.

[imy9]

Good run out.

I count 3 players who will start the first game of the season:

Ryan, McCarthy(will he start?), Warnock.

Lets not go over board this is a fitness exercise.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Make that all three from set pieces !

[Hughesy]

Good to see RSC & Benni both get 45 mins each. Anyone know why Samba didnt play?

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

We are going down.

Doomed.

Burnley to be promoted as well.

[rog of the rovers]

Sack Ince! lol

3-1 who cares, its all about fitness and match practice. Did anyone on the messageboard go to the game? or know anyone who was going?

[novella]

lol we played a reserve squad for 45 mins. its a fitness exercise. 3 - 1 means nothing. what about united drawing with kaiser chiefs on saturday. they are doomed too.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Its all about fitness really at this stage of preseason.

You think so ? Let's hope we get fitter soon !

[Florida Rover]

Maybe Jordan?Speaking of which, where has he been?Haven't seen his posts very much lately?Perhaps he can provide an on scen report in his own inimitable way.

At least 4 that I know who are members here. The texts I got weren't exactly complimentary about the team!

Still, early days etc....

[rover6]

So what has Ince learnt from this game:

Matt Derbyshire ain't a winger.

Gamst ain't a central midfielder.

Aaron Mokoena ain't a footballer.

Paul Gallagher ain't worth the effort.

Robbie Fowler and Benni McCarthy ain't a partnership.

Mmmmm....not exactly revealing, was it?

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

At least Ince and co will have seen our vulnerability to set pieces at first hand. Time to do something about it.

[almuncle]

Where is Dunny?
