[Archived] Pre-season Friendlies

[92er]

Suddenlyl Samba., Ooijer, Warnock are crap?

I think it is a strong team and I am very excited about the central midfield reid/dunn. I hope a good pre-season have done them well and up to standard!

Of course not. Al said there "was not an ounce of skill in the team."

I think the point that can be made is that without Bentley, Santa Cruz and MGP, there is very little creativity in the team.

[Martin]

Where's Judge?

[DeadlyDirk]

Pedersen and RSC have slight hamstring strains so were not risked, Emerton is on the mend after a knock in Portugal.

I'm guessing he has seen a fair bit of Judge so far, might just be having a look at others.

[Silencio]

We haven't got a great defence but that midfield and attack is absolutely pitiful.

And the goalkeeper...

[alexanders]

What does pitiful mean?

[92er]

What does pitiful mean?

Worse than poor.

12 MINS: Rovers passing the ball around the pitch nicely, everything kept on the ground

Followed in trademark fashion with Reid smashing it over the bar by the sounds of it!!

When he gets them right they fly, when he gets them wrong, watch out row Z

sounds promising?

[Sysagent]

Anywhere on the Radio to listen to this at all please?

[RibbleValleyRover]

Hoping for a clean sheet more than anything today, give Robinson a boost before the season.

[alexanders]

15 MINS: Robinson quickly out of his area to clear a ball over the top that Kolkka was chasing down. "England's number one" chant the home fans.

Promising

Laughing here.

[Martin]

Sounds like Rovers are passing it really well.

Robinson making a couple decent saves and sweeping things up well.

[Ben-2000]

"England's number one" chant the home fans.

oh dear!

[alexanders]

22 MINS: Aside from crosses into the box, I've not seen a ball from Rovers that hasn't been on the ground as yet, everything has been played to feet.

NO long balls !

[Al]

Of course not. Al said there "was not an ounce of skill in the team."

Thanks, creativity is a better word for what I meant.

[ebenrocks]

its a shame we havnt been able to test out King Carlos in pre season. If what i;ve heard and seen of him is true, he looks like the kind of player you build the formation around. Would have been nice to test him out abit.

[alexanders]

Treacy seems very lively !

[ebenrocks]

yeah! i think its fantastic that Treacy has finally been allowed to shine through. Think he will definatly go on to be a very good player, and what better way is there to help him get there than to give him first team appearences

[alexanders]

I agree. Both Treacy and Judge seem likely to get a good season.

If one thing Mark Hughes did wrong was that he never gave the young ones a chance.

[Martin]

0-1

Press F5 to refresh it. Was that a Robinson error?
