Kean out chants - took longer than I expected. At least 2 minutes

Its becoming a bit of a joke this place at times.

Man City - the best team in the bloody country last season lost to some Saudi team the other day didn't they? I doubt they're flapping like this.

Are you referring to the messageboard or the club?

Besides if it's the latter, not so much of "a bit of"

[rigger]

there are some very good and experienced managers in the championship, better managers than kean, so i would'nt get my hopes up that kean might outsmart them.

There are a lot of non league managers, better than Kean.

There are a lot of non league managers football manager players, better than Kean.

That is absolutely outstanding!

Been out of the loop this week (first child born), so missed the games and results - but delighted that he's had 'Kean Out' chants already

Oh he got a lot more than Kean out chants believe me. The turnstile where the majority of our fans where kept closing so we had to go in through the main stand and walk straight past him. After some abuse his security team followed us all the way to the other stand, I say his security but not sure if they were employed by Stanley.

Thats just made my day

So seeing as this is the pre-season thread,Is any one going to give their opinion on the new guys?, seems like the 2 teams were like chalk and cheese with the " new" team being far better.

Nunes - likes to take players on, get on the ball, tricky, exciting to watch but of course slightly raw.

Murphy - A class above, you could hear him, very vocal, kept looking for the ball, got it and passed it on, always an option of calmness in the middle and helped those around him.

Gomes - Slightly rusty but still a clever assist and a goal. Looked to drop off into the space behind Best, still has that intelligence.

Best - missed 3 chances including one where he had took it around the goalkeeper, but ok, looks the physical presence to build our attack around.

Jorge - Nervous for 15 minutes then grew in to it alongside Murphy. Sat deep and did a decent job.

Nice to hear the new signings seem promising.I believe the elusive Ribeiro played yesterday as well ,it would be interesting to hear how he looked?.

[Guest Wen Y Hu]

We're up and running with Parsonblue's match reports ahead of the new 2012/13 season. The first one up is the Reserves at Bamber Bridge on Tuesday, a 3-1 victory getting them off to a good start under Gary Bowyer's stewardship. My apologies for not getting round to this earlier.

Good post.....people who didn't see the games greatly appreciate ones like this......I think Murphy will be our Yakubu this year in that he will be a great signing but largely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

According to Cryer, Vukcevic had nose surgery in the summer and is about 2 weeks away from fitness because he hasn't been allowed to train.

Great to hear Kean getting abuse, good work - hopefully this continues as long as he is manager.

I expect so :-)

[davulsukur]

I'd say he will as well, it took what? 2 minutes in a pre season friendly to get the chants going.

[Guest Wen Y Hu]

Parsonblue's match report for both the games against Fleetwood and Stanley are now on the front page. My apologies for the delay in publishing them.

Discussion is over on the match thread here.

Anyone know how much tickets are for students at Fleetwood when we play the greeks?

Is it just the same price as adults?

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

From previous experience a good pre season doesn't automatically lead to a good season in the league. Having said that you can be sure that a poor pre season leads to a poor season in the league.

It says £5 for concessions on the website so I'm going to try my luck.
